    I'm from Trinidad and Tobago. My dragon fruit like this was ready by day 34 from blooming/pollination date. It was shaking, cracked and everything already. It tasted awesome and was pretty huge.

      Yes! I'm from Trinidad and Tobago as well. I'm at Day 33 and it's pretty red. I think a few more days should do. I'll check using these methods

    Just had my first flower tonight after one year. I hand pollinated and going to wait 46 days now.
    I planted 4 plants in my pot all the same red flesh variety and noticed today I have over 25 buds total so excited.
    First time growing these I am enjoying it very much, thanks for all your help in teaching me how to.

    They were ripe. I gave two of them to my neighbour grannie and kept two to me, which one of them I've just ate. It was delicious. I have more three fruits, still green. Thank you so much, Richard.

    I absolutely love all your tips !!! One thing about your dragon fruits is , you keep them clean and their all healthy looking ... I have watched other owners of their dragon fruits , some of theirs is like skinny long and not producing or not looking healthy at all ... But you keep yours organized and and clean and you gives more tips more than other owners does ..... Keep up the good work and I can’t wait to plant some one day ?!?! 👌⭐️👍🥰

    I love to look at all your dragon fruits & dragon plants. It's so green and healthy. I have never thought I would grow any dragon fruit until I'd watched your videos three months ago. Now, my cutting has rooted, but has not grow in height yet. I'm excited to see all your plants doing so well. I hope my cutting will grow soon so I can put in the 20 gallons pot like your's. Thank you for inspiring us all to start our dragon fruits plant.

Great video and thank you Richard for sharing your knowledge. Now a subscriber. :)

    I have been trying to get fruit from my dragonfruit plant for 7-8 years now!
    I guess i should have watched your videos sooner!
    But i now have my first ever pink dragonfruit, but wasnt sure when to pick it!
    Its only day 35, but it passes all your other tests, so, thank you!
    My plant only produced 1 fruit!
    So, i was worried about picking it too soon and ruining the only fruit i have!!
    Also, I live in Australia, and its been very hot for quite a while, this is the end of summer for us.
    Im guessing the heat maybe ripened it quicker?!
    Anyway, thank you!
    Now, to eat!!

    I am not sure if you have mentioned the cutters you use to cut off the dragon fruits. Could you please say what they are so I can buy it. Thanks. 🙏🏻

    the white dragon fruit is not really doing anything but making more branches, its so far behind my red DF is there anything i can do to encourage my white to bloom.

      Hand pollinate with pollen from another dragon fruit plants. Chat to someone in your Nextdoor app and see if someone will share the pollen. I’ve done it and have 30 fruits now.

    • @jaredf.6532
      @jaredf.6532 4 роки тому

      Your dragon fruit is most likely self sterile. So you need a different variety of dragon to pollinate your dragon fruit
