Cinnamon

There is a red, 3-inch shoot emerging from the soil of the cinnamon plant. I was concerned that the plant had not shown any signs of growth since I brought it inside for the winter. If the shoot has roots, I may remove it to start a second cinnamon plant.

Hylocereus undatus Lowe's

The plant I purchased from Lowe's has about doubled it size in the past 3 months.
I think that a new branch is starting to form.

Dragon Fruit

I just receive a dragon fruit plant from Wellspring Gardens. It is definitely bigger than my 3-month-old seedlings; however, I hypothesize that this plant is a seedling itself. It may be 6-8 months old. It is interesting to see how different the various hylocereus plants are. This one seems to be paler than my larger plant, and it has really well-defined spines in comparison to my plant.

Meyer lemon blooming

Yes!

Dragon fruit

The new branches continue to grow nicely.

Avocado plant

I brought this one indoors over the winter and left the other two in the greenhouse.  They are all about the same height.  One has a thicker stem than the other two.

White sugarloaf pineapples

This is their first winter. They are looking good; however, the leaves are not as rigid as the yellow pineapples.

Pineapple inflorescence update

It's coming along nicely.

Dragon fruit, pitaya, hylocereus undatus update

My little dragon fruit plant is growing three new branches now. I'm excited. One day I will eat some dragon fruit.
