Hi, I’m up in Northern California and we got scorched with 119 last week with an average of 115. I’ve been using 30% of sun shades and my dragons are still getting stressed. What percentage of sun shade are you using?
Awesome video.
Thanks 🤙🏼

[@DesertDragonsDragonFruit]

The green cloth is 40%, the black cloth is 50%. Thanks for the compliment!

Have you got any buds/blooms this season?

[@DesertDragonsDragonFruit]

I had four buds. Three turned into flowers while I was out of town and the fourth aborted. I had another bud that went pretty far and aborted, but that was on a cutting.

What are you using for the post for your dragon fruit??

[@DesertDragonsDragonFruit]

I use PVC fence post sleeves.
