Help With Cactus ID
    #26913649 - 09/02/20 11:58 AM (3 years, 4 months ago)

Alright so this poor thing was brought to the US from Italy by my great grandfather.
It came to my care about a year ago, found it in a dark basement and 75% was brown/dead. As you can see, much dead has healed and there are even new growths.



It blooms once a year, brilliant red flowers.

Not the best pic, but was hoping someone could identify it for me. And possibly, some guidance on how to help it. I know it needs to be repotted but am scared, the long arms break easily.

Edit- more pics sorry my hands shake.

Hylocereus or common dragon fruit. Give it some rich dirt and a sunny window and it will grow like a weed.

Good grafting stock.

Awesome, ty so much.  Are you able to see the dead spots? Does it need neem oil? Should I prune at all?

Also, I have a good quality succulent fertilizer- Should I give it a squirt?

I would repot the whole thing. I see some scarring but that shouldn't affect anything as long as the plant is a live all the way to the root. It propagates like pereskiopsis and very easy to propagate via cutting. Nearly impossible to kill short of freezing it.

If you don't want to report it, a flushing with properly diluted kelp fertilizer should to the trick. I do it to my big Trichocereus plants, literally whip up 2-3 gallons and flood the pot, then let it dry out.
