Описание: Cold Snap Damage on Dragon Fruit 🌵❄️ What to Do and How to Protect Plants

A recent cold snap caused visible damage on several dragon fruit varieties in my garden 🌡️

This video walks through real cold damage on Haileys Comet, Taiwan x Red Crystal, Physical Graffiti, Aussie Lemonade, and Connie Mayer and compares them to varieties that came through the cold unscathed ✅

Not all cold damage means a plant is lost. Some discoloration and scarring is cold burn while soft collapsing tissue is rot ⚠️ Knowing the difference helps prevent unnecessary cutting and long term damage.

How to Protect Dragon Fruit From Cold Weather ❄️🌱

If you grow dragon fruit in Florida or areas with occasional cold nights these tips help reduce damage.

🛑 Cover plants before temperatures drop into the upper thirties using frost cloth sheets or breathable fabric

🌱 Protect roots with mulch
💧 Do not water heavily before a freeze
🪴 Group potted plants together to reduce wind exposure
☀️ Remove covers during the day once temperatures rise
⏸️ Do not fertilize or prune immediately after a freeze

What to Do After a Cold Snap 🌡️

✅ Firm tissue means wait
❌ Mushy or collapsing tissue should be removed later after temperatures stabilize
Most losses after cold weather happen from panic cutting or overwatering rather than the cold itself.

🌱 I will post an update once new growth starts so you can see which plants recover and how long it takes.
