Ok guys I have a shit ton of Dragonfruit seedlings that I have no Idea what to do with.

What would you guys do. Also I really don't want to replant each one in it's own pot BTW.

dunno, i have a fuckton of them growing from adult cuttings really well rooted. i guess that growing them is only for experience's sake. I have some cereus seedlings, but i'm not going to bother about them, i will leave them alone, and the thoughtest will survive.
My advice? Pot them all together, put the pot outside, watch them grow and eventually use em as grafting stock.

Thanks Lemna. That's really what I was thinking was the only way. BTW what about those leaves that are still there should I just let them fall off or pot just above the leaves?

I thought about growing them but from what I hear they are more of a climbing cactus and wouldn't do so good being moved around a lot or indoors so I haven't tried to grow them.
What kind of climate do you live in? Can you plant them outdoors? Craigslist and ebay are also good ways to get rid of extra plants and get some beer money

climate zone 7. I'm sure they would have been just as easy to grow outdoors as well. I'm in the process of setting them out once the weather is clear for a bit.
What about these leaves though should I leave the leaves out and plant around the thin stalk where they'll flop around or should I plant above the leaves where it would be thick enough to hold the plants up?

When I replanted mine I did not cover the cotyledons but did plant a little deeper. Not sure what would happen if you buried them but do not reccommend it.
If you decide to try and raise em as grafting stock, at least experiment a little and plant one off by itself with something to train up and see if you can get a fruit/flower!

I can offer my 2 bits, and say.. get a big URN planter. . and put them in it. . get one big enough you can put a trellis on it. . and then allow them to crawl up it for a few years. . and plant some smaller (chin)/ button cacti in there at the bottom.. (viola) upright planter.
I am honestly going to have to change a Epiphyllum cacti that is getting too big for hanging basket and do this for it. . its blades are several feet long, and am thinking a terrestrial climbing pot, might be better for it.

I honestly should cruise the freebies on the (marketplace) or offerings page, here.. I have some things I could share. That's a good idea Kosmo, thanks for giving me a push, in that direction.
