Just bought my first dragon fruit plant. This video was great to watch
Great information. In San Diego, we use Fox Farms potting soil called Happy Frog and cut it with additional perlite, vermiculite, pumice, and native soil. The dragon fruit like our mix. Thanks for sharing.
Way too expensive a mix for DF, which is basically a weed.
Have you considered what's going to happen 2 to 4 years down the road with a complex soil mix? Soil material breaks down unevenly over time. What do you plan on top dressing with when the soil breaks down? For this reason we keep it simple, Cow manure and add perlite when the compost holds water.
@@Spicyexotics What is the mix ratio of Cow manure and perlite? 60/30? or 75/25? etc
@@Spicyexoticshello dear i am srilankan budhist monk i realy like growing dragon fruit Can you tell me clearly about the ingredients needed to prepare this fruit? thank you
Great information master..👍🏻👍🏻 from Indonesian country
Got my drang fruit cutting in soli
Can I use this soil mix when I plant in the ground here in cutler bay?
Absolutely, but if your going direct into the ground I would stick with straight compost.
Hello, thank you for sharing the info. For your dragonfruit pots do you cut them open in the bottom or you just make hole for the drainage?
Two half inch drain holes in our 18 gallon container and four half inch holes in our 25 gallon containers
I have a Bruni dragon fruit that's starting to take off with growth. Almost every segment of the branches has a little node of growth. Should I just let it go wild or break them off? I've heard some people have a 1 to 3 ratio when it comes to their dragon fruit branches. What would you suggest?
We do 1 to 1 or 1 to 2 or 1 to 3
I just watched your ohana express DF video. I could not comment on it nor could i save it to my varieties list... 🙁
Hows the result of this combination
We don't use this combo every time, only when the compost holds too much water.
Is there a way to determine the color of the dragon fruit by looking at a cutting?
You can usually tell inside color by how the stems shape looks. I have red, and white. Both different stems, or can call them branches.
if cow manure not available can i substitute steer manure?
As long as it's composted, it should be fine.

My DF's main stem stopped its growth just after 14 inch . plz tell me what to do now . I am a begginer so I need help pl...z🙏

@@humayunkabir1161 did you purchase from us, if so please share the date.
@@Spicyexotics no I didn't in fact I am not from ur country
@@humayunkabir1161 growing conditions, soil, climate and time of year are all need to give the best possible answer. The age of the cutting, was it from seed or a branch. Likely, it's fine. The plant just ran out of growth energy. When it's ready to grow again, new shoots will appear.
What the mix of perlite to compost that you use?
No exact measurement. Some batches of compost have different consistencies. I start off with 2 gallons to 50 pounds of soil and go from there.
@@Spicyexotics thanks Tye!
Hi, please specify ratio of mixture
It varies on the compost mixture. Apply more perlite to clay-based mixtures and less perlite to sandy mixtures.
@@Spicyexotics thanks for the info
Too much playing with the soil. Just talk bro
