Moving Hylocereus

I moved my dragon fruit plants to a sunnier room.  They grow really well indoors, and I want to make sure they get enough light to encourage wide stems.  I'm hoping for flowers and fruits from at least one plant.  I have six altogether.

Seedling hylocereus

The second sizable branch is now growing.  I have a trellising system and will allow branches to hang from the pot.

Mystery Hylocereus

The mystery plant has grown some.  It took a tumble and damaged the latest new growth.  Oh well.

Delight

The delight pitahaya is growing spindly but at least it is growing.

Physical Graffiti

Both  physical graffiti plants are doing well.  The older plant has 5 branches sticking out beyond the trellis top.  It is a struggle to get the plant enough light so that the branches don't grow spindly.
The younger PG lacks 12" or so to get to the top.  It's pretty amazing that the one little piece made it through the cold winter of 13-14.  It certainly has a strong will to survive.  I kept all my dragon fruit inside this winter.

Yellow Dragon Fruit Plants

both plants are doing well.  Each plant has two sprouts, one bigger than the other.  I have added a form of trellis.  I think I will keep the plants lower and allow them to hang down from the pot, which will be placed on a pedestal.  These plants started out slowly.  I have had them since the beginning of September, and they are just now starting to grow.  they didn't start rooting until now November.

Selenicereus Megalanthus

I have had my yellow dragon fruit for nearly four months. It is finally starting to show growth. A new branch is budding out. However, there has been root development for the past month and a half.  Both cuttings aren't showing evidence of growth.
