Pitaya Tips Are Redish-brown Colour, Is It Health?

Question

My Pitaya (yellow Dragonfruit) plant is one year old. Some parts of the plant have redish-brown tips but some are green. There is a new stem growing from the plant and its also the redish-brown colour. I am worried since it’s my first seed grown plant. Is this normal? What can I do about it? (I want to eat fruits from this plant, will it also be affected bcs of the tips?)

Typically this indicates new, fast growth. Sometimes, it can indicate that the plant needs to be fed, but these cacti can usually handle poor soils. Be sure to keep an eye on the moisture, and let the soil dry out, well, between waterings.
