Hey kevin can you recommend me some tips to grow veggies ,some okras,chili and tomatoes in rainy/monsoon seasons cause it's raining SUPER heavy here and all of my crops are wilting and they're in a really bad condition
Hey, Super Mario Kevin. I started growing dragon fruit here when you published the dragon fruit series. Fortunately this September, I got 3 fruits
@@AkashKhan-qn6mu Neat
Hey Kevin, I was wondering if you knew where/how I could get a hold of some dragon fruit pollen. I got a bunch of cuttings from a friend a couple of years ago and this past year I watched flower after flower drop because I didn’t realize they weren’t self-pollinating varieties. I would like to avoid that next season and pollinate them myself. But, I have no clue where I can get some pollen. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

You made me feel brave so I rescued a dragon fruit from a garden shop and am growing it indoors in zone 4. It has since perked up and it is currently 8 inches tall. I feel so accomplished LOL.
Nice 😎
you can bring it outside during spring, summer, fall
How is your dragon fruit doing?
Oh I'm so happy for you, I wanted to grow one too but worried as I'm also in zone 4 and wasnt sure how it'd work out
Good for u
My dragonfruit looked like it was still growing a bit through the winter we just had. As soon as the first warm sunny day hit it basically exploded with growth! I'm hoping it flowers this season. These plants are quite amazing. Thanks for the video 👍
7:37 I have a huge 3 foot pineapple in a 24" wide pot that I've been keeping for a while, and there's no way you can move it without wheels and help. (Especially because you'll poke your eye or ear out) I just brought it in and it took about 20 minutes to get it down a few steps and near a south window. Definitely have a plan and a second pair of hands for guaranteed success when moving large pots with large pokey plants.
Thank you for doing a seasonal based video on these beauties. As a new backyard home grower seasonal advice is so helpful … 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Really enjoying your vids.
compare to 2nd ep where he used his own t-shirt and a thin rod , in this last ep he is using nursery tape and some pro level thick rod . how my boy have grown
I live in the Canary Islands and I tried some crazy varieties from a farm on the island of La Palma, the BEST pitaya I ever had.
I’m in homestead and just started from a cutting ordered off Amazon. I love it.
Goodmorning Kevin!! Thank you for your knowledge . I always loved gardening when i was small but stopped because i didnt know so much and most plants died off on me .but this year was different ,this year i subscribed and always wait for you to upload 🤙🏼🤙🏼 you the man!
Hey 👋 Super Mario Kevin, I started growing dragon fruit before 1.5 years ago. This September I Got 3 fruits. I'm inspired by you and I still watch your videos.

Thanks “Dragon Daddy” AKA Kevin! Just started my first planting of American Beauty Dragon Fruit from Lucky and needed this info going into fall.
Thank you for all the information.
Here in philippines we use concrete posts and used motor bike tires for the top trellis 🤘
G'day mate.
Such a comprehensive video mate. So well done.
Thinning flowers is never a good feeling, but such good advice. 👍
Middle of Spring here in Australia and I'm about to pinch flowers off all my young mandarin and oranges... Oh the pain!!!!! 🤣

Daz.

Glad I found this video. I’m out in AZ and just picked up a Dragon. Lots of great tips here and it seems I can treat this almost like my plumeria.
Nice ! Enjoy 😊
Looks beautiful.
💜💜 they look amazing!
Found this channel along with 2 others. Subscribed. I live in jersey and im determined to grow a dragonfruit 🌵.
Lucky you live in such a temperate zone. Most areas in America couid never grow dragonfruit
Your dragonfruit videos inspire me to grow my own, I’ve had one from the grocery store because I was so curious and it was a complete let down. It had no flavor. Maybe growing my on is the way to go!
The purple inside kind is best but very rare to find in stores
Enjoy! From seeds is most fun. But also buy some cuttings...
do it 😊
Thank you for the great content. Can you prune the off shoots while plant is budding?
Dragon Daddy K?!?! I'm loving it. Very hip hop of you!
Cool! Thanks for the information.😊
Thanks for sharing your knowledge on haw to care a dragon fruits, I'm your new follower
Great Video thanks for the info 💫💖💫
Livening in zone 2a I’m not sure why I still grow a yellow dragon fruit other then the fact I love a challenge. thank you for all the tips and tricks I hope one day my lil Baby looks even half as nice as your lovely ladies
Get a cheap greenhouse with a growing light...
@@howtogrowdragonfruitplant7849 -22f or -30c green house wouldn’t do it lol
Super happy with my plants so far. Mine are to heavy to move but so far my Putple Haze, mystery and my Dark Star have done really well in this semi frost we had (37°/39°) I'm just waiting on my frost protection tree covers in hopes that keeps them happy.
Else bring indoors if possible
Great tips, I do notice stems that look like they will grow out the wrong direction so I need to clip those off.
Thank you for sharing your love and knowledge for these plants. How do you get your dragonfruit plants to flower? Mine are monsters but never flower 4 years is a long time. Thanks.
Respekt Kevin you are a good Gardener.
Thank you
I always bring mine in the garage for the fall and winter. I'm in zone 7b and my first frost is in about 2 wks. I've had my dragon fruit for at least 4 years now.
Sorry for your pain.
@@sanscrux2852 what pain?
@@gardeningwithprincess The pain of growing a tasteless fruit for so many years.
@@sanscrux2852 🤣
Perfect 😊
Wow, you have many dragon fruit plants sir👍
Very nicely trained and given support
Love your DF alley
I was hoping for strawberry fall and winter tips.
❤❤❤ inspirational 😊
Nice information 👍😳
Amazeballs Dragon Daddy K!
thanks for sharing this video I'm new friend here
Can I grow dragon fruit in Wisconsin. I love those fruit specially the yellow one. I have seeds and I start to planted. I love your tips. Yours looks soo nice. Thank you 😊.
Do you water them during winter months? If so, how often and how much water to give?
Love your videos and tips. TY
Cám ơn chia sẻ
As soon as we buy our house, I’m getting myself a couple of dragon fruit trees!
Cactus you mean. You can grow them inside as well
Smart move 😊
What temp range should thwy be kept in when they go dormant? And would they require full light at that time?
Thank you for your informative videos❤️. What growing zone are you in? I am in 9a-b and I get occasional winter freezes. I got my son a dragon fruit for Christmas and want to make sure it survives the winter. This plant is new to me.
Keep indoors until april when cold weather is done
I wish I grew awesome plants like dragon fruit... It should be propagated everywhere.
For me it is cold-wet season, moving them often brakes branches and will rust, especially new shoots, not fully developed branches.
Hi Kevin. Is it possible to cover the dragonfruit plant during winter if it gets colder than expected to keep it from frost?
Thank you kevin for sharing guidelines & information...it helps me a lot.... can i ask what Fertilizer did u use in your dragon fruit? Thnx in advance & God Bless 😊
I use wormcastings and chicken manure...
love dr bronners
Thank you for sharing information Sir. Great job.👍
Could you share what's the minimum volume of soil that can successful grow the plant? Do you need cacti soil or could make your own special soil recipe? Also what minimum height should the trellis be inorder to get the canopy?
Is 4 the maximum root stems you could use in this potted method?
Kevin has several extensive videos in his UA-cam library about dragon fruit.
Please, please can you do a vid on mung beans. Just anything. I’ve been growing them for 4 years for school projects and stuff and haven’t succeeded once.
I have a lot of long stringy shoots.
super😮👌
I just finished watching one of your videos on dragonfruit. I have a dragonfruit (not sure of variety) that has a really thin stalk. Will repotting it into a larger pot make the stalk thicker?
Hey kevin any way u can share some of those clippings
Blessed Day, i just want to ask what is the best soil for the dragon fruit
Would love to hear your opinion on using metal halide or high pressure sodium lighting 1kw on a track over 3 or 4 trellises on a 14-16 hr light on schedule?? Atm I’m growing from good older cuttings. I planning to try in the green house, I may have to move inside if I can’t keep the heat up outside. I’m looking to keep them growing happy until March when I can get them back into the green house and possibly supplement with sum lighting.
❤❤❤❤Super 🎉

I live in the Southern California desert near Palm Springs. How often should I water my plants in the winter?
Good morning, Kevin.
My name is Alberto from Kenya. I live on the Coast of Kenya, in Diani Beach. We have an Equatorial Climate.
We only have one type of Dragon Fruit here, a red one, and our knowledge of growing it is elementary.
Thank you for your videos. Excellent.
Would you know how or where I can find a few seeds of your yellow Colombian Dragonfruit or your other cultivars ??
Thank you 😊
My dragon fruit is turning yelliow at the base, I added some iron but what do you think it could be?
doesnt richard use other sprays to prevent rust?
My question: Why not build a shorter trellis top to capture some of the shorter offshoots? Do they have to reach a certain height before dipping down to fruit? If not, it seems like you could maximize fruit production by having a second box for those less ideal shoots to drape over, a little lower on the trellis. I'm sure there's a reason for not doing it, but I don't have experience with dragon fruit yet.
You can do that actually. Paul from Rare Dragon Fruits has a double layer trellis design he is testing out!
@@TheBrewingMiner True, I saw someone selling a 9ft DF trellis structure that is multi-tiered (on Etsy).
I grow them along my west facing fence and I have two horizontal 2 inch pipes at 3ft and 5ft to support the dipping branches.
You can even do it without trellis
Your thoughts on him growing some rare vegetables or just cool ones.
Let's say like red sword beans or Casper peppers or mybe even Tamarinda tree seeds 🤔.
Thoughts on this do you think it would be fun to watch/see him do.
I see that as a great idea but I don't think he can
What type of woods do you use for your trellis
Any tips for growing them in a hot humid country like Malaysia?
Can you do winterizing strawberries next ;)
do clones chros pollinate eachother?
i have a very weird thing it's about 25cm peas of selenicereus, i guess that survive very low temperature(+1°c maybe)and dark for a week then it bloomed without roots, when i saw it i brought it home and it made roots and next summer it didn't change much, but it bloomed again! it's the only cacti that bloomed , unlike any other one i have, even it's "mother plant" didn't bloomed...
Can you mix kinds of dragon fruit in the same pot or same trellis
Tnx.
Mauro
We are in the Bay Area (very costal so very foggy and cool in the winter). I have 1 that’s too big to bring inside - any recommendations for outdoor covers to protect from the cold?
Do you sell cuttings or can you recommend where to buy them?
I got some cuttings today and I’m totally new to this! Should I keep them inside during fall/winter ?
Any tips on what to do with the cuttings ?
I live in San Antonio
Yes, I would keep them in windows. Be carefull with over watering...
Could I use metal pipe for a trellis and it not affect the fruit? I made the mistake of using pressure treated 4 x 4 in the past and I've seen the difference in the plant and the return of fruit and I wasn't sure if metal would effect that the same
Wish I could grow it. I'm in 6b
How often do you water during winter time? I’m zone 9 az
Epic Gardener..help..i found a very large Grub worm in my raised garden bed....does this mean i have more and will they ruin my crops??
Wow,
Where can I get that big planter?
Will a outside greenhouse work?
How is it togrow dragonfruit in Norway, indoors? Will it get enough light?
Hey Kevin, I know this is off topic but I've thought about putting together a "bugout bag" and considered putting some seeds in it incase of a long term situation. If you had to have 5 to 10 seeds to help you live off the land what would they be?
Holy crap no one answered you? I will ! Winter & Summer squash, corn(dent/grain corn), pole & bush beans. “Three sisters” baby.
@@TrickyVickey I like it!
How tall do they have to grow to get fruit and how many years to get fruit?
How can I grow my dragon tree, I had mine for one year and I planted it on the ground in my backyard. It has stop growing but weird red spots have been showing ?
