5 Tips How to grow a ton of dragon fruit
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 вер 2017
- This video is all about how to grow a lot of dragon fruit (pitaya) in just one container. This method is what I call the hang or grow down method where the plant is placed upon a stand or in my case a stump and left to drape down instead of being trained up a trellis or post.

Self Sufficient Me is based on our small 3-acre property/homestead in SE Queensland Australia about 45kms north of Brisbane - the climate is subtropical (similar to Florida). I started SSM in 2011 as a blog website project where I document and write about backyard food growing, self-sufficiency, and urban farming in general. I love sharing my foodie and DIY adventures online so come along with me and let's get into it! Cheers, Mark :) - Навчання та стиль
I found your method last year during quarantine. Ive been struggling for 3 years to get them to trail up and over a pole, never getting flower buds. Proud to announce after using this method i now have a budding plant with ants coming in very interested 🙌🏼 thanks mate, its hard to get an australian video abour dragonfruit, i appreciate your videos alot. Cheers! 🙌🏼
I love the action shot moving around the dragonfruit as if its some kind of rare and dangerous multi-headed snake. Very steve irwinesque hahaha.
I'm not into gardening, hell, I don't even have a garden, but for some reason I like watching your videos. I like your voice, laid-back style. It's always pleasant to see someone nice enjoying what he's doing. Cheers mate!
Thank you very much, I'm wrapped that you are watching regardless of not being into gardening! Hopefully, I can convert you one day lol... Cheers mate :)

I think you like it coz he's a man of the future. He represents what humans need to be for our world to be peaceful and fruitful. Traits of critical-minded openness, politeness, compassion, respectfulness, etc are what our world sorely needs if we are to step away from all the suffering that currently plagues it.

Just give it a try, start with something simple and trust me you will become a gardening fanatic.

Spot on!😂
Lol😂😂
Yes!!!!
I had a piece of Dragon fruit while at work so I looked up how to grow it and came to this video. This video was so entertaining and made me laugh ....thanks for changing a dull day at work to a bit of fun!!!
That little bee was having the time of his life.

@@annabellavetra IT'S MA'AM
I... have... THE TIME OF MY LIIIIFE!
Give this guy a TV show! Better content than most mainstream. Keep up the great videos. Be well
I was so glad to stumble onto this channel because of this video, after I subscribed and have been watching ever since. I was lucky enough to have a chance at eating yellow dragon fruit just last year as locally (chicago) they sell the red variety with the white flesh that is very muted in flavor. The yellows have become my literal gold standard for suggesting this fruit. I try to give them to people who have never had them, but at $10/piece that gets steep. I recently had a dream that I was in a yard surrounded by this lovely fruit, that is now my goal in life. Thank you Mark for changing my life, just by doing what you love and sharing it with all of us.
Thank you so much. Lots of much needed information for my newest addition to the garden. I was just about ready to remove a huge stump caused by our recent hurricane Irma. Now it can stay and be a wonderful stand for my dragon. Have a wonderful day!
First time seeing a yellow one 👀. I always treat myself to the red ones and yes they are pricey. One can set you back about $6 these days.
I love putting the white and red varieties together in a fruit salad, makes it look really good.
I bet that looks magic! And, tastes good too... :)
Uhmmm the edible fruit is the same clear/white color the shell color isn't edible to out on salads 🤔🤦
How come is that look really good?? THe fruit flesh are of the same colour lmao
There is dragon fruit with red color flesh for you two wondering.
@@Murpitsi1 ahh, i see, you are right
For those who haven't tried yellow dragon fruit, it's like a vanilla watermelon. The texture and sweetness of watermelon but the flavor is sugar and vanilla. It's really good.
The yellow ones I've had before tasted no different than the red ones
Depends on the varierty. Some are very ‘meh,’ others are gorgeous. In general, I find the best red/burgundy coloured fruits taste very berry-like. The best white varieties laste more like vanilla mixed with melon and have a really smooth taste. Depends on your own personal preferences.
Thanks Mark. Your video has really helped me as I've just recently planted some dragon fruit and was in the dark until now. I'm now an avid fan of your channel and subscriber. Now I'm going to venture into more self sufficient gardening thanks to you. Cheers mate. Keep up the great work
Thanks for this video, the timing couldn't have been better! I was gifted with 12 cuttings from mature well producing plants, 3 types (yellow, red/red, and purple outside red inside). Now I know how to plant them properly.
Had my first yellow dragon fruit today - DEEEELICIOUS!!! Oddly enough I had tried the red one a while back for the first time, and it was tasteless, so what a surprise when I tried the yellow one. Thanks for the tips, as at $5 US per fruit, somewhat out of my budget and will have to grow my own. Cheers!
Try different varieties. Some, red or white are very tasteless. Others are out of this world. I can’t say that either is better than the other, they both taste great. But you have to find the best varieties. Some breeders seem to have gone for size and shelf-life, over brix (sugar content,) and taste. But if you are lucky enough to live near where they grow it, you may find that the smaller varieties actually taste better. That’s the case where I live.
This Man is the next great Australian icon
You are too kind but thanks mate that's very nice of you to say... cheers :)
I am in the northwest part of the US and I am hooked on this channel. I wish I had that land! I have never seen a dragon fruit, I wonder if we could grow them here?
@@cbryce9243 it grows great here in Malta but we have very long dry hot summers and no frost.
Single tip to eat lots of dragon fruit.... Buy a house next to Self Sufficient Me farm.
Great tip😂
As they say...a good salesman is someone who is passionate about what they sell. You are a lovely man with much passion, and have sold me. Thank you for your enthusiasm and ideas, from Peter of Shoalwater in Western Australia.
You're very kind Peter... thanks mate 👍🙂
Excellent video, I just bought some clippings and your video is the most informative and helpful that I've seen. I'm excited to start growing these amazing plants.
great video. I never thought dragon fruit would grow out of a pot like that. and fruit.
dude, 30 seconds into your video and i'm loving it already. how you bring the Steve Irwin vibe and his mimicry but for cacti, it's hilarious. and your way of doing the hanging down method with the pot on a stand is actually a great idea.
I love watching your videos. I have been watching from the first one and working towards the most current. Because of your dragon fruit videos I bought one today. I hope I can grow it!
Super informative. By far the best way Ive seen to grow them and fantastic tips!
I did this two years ago and now I have a huge crop of dragon fruit from a plant in a big pot on a bench. So pleased this works. The trellis is going really well too.
Cool. You can even grow them into strong fruittrees!
I think the hanging-down method makes a prettier dragon fruit plant. It reminds me a little of Christmas cactus or epiphyllums. Thanks for this informative video!
I’ve never eaten fresh dragon fruit, just some mediocre dried fruit from the Trader Joe’s store. However, my son says the fresh fruit is delicious.
Many of my Southern California neighbors are growing dragon fruit in their front yards/gardens. I suppose our climate is good!
Love watching your channel out here in California. Useful tips!
Great video, thanks for sharing. I purchased a dragon fruit plant about a year ago and it’s on my patio. I’m going to move it outside and use your method.
Thanks so much. I picked up a discarded plant from the side of the road, and building a trellis was a challenge for me so I'm very happy to see this easier method.
I want to live with someone like you for a year so I can learn everything.
u dont need to live 1 year to learn how in 5 minutes in your home by watching reading through internet or books or magazines u can learn what ever u want to learn, we r not living in the stone age
That's a really cool way to get hands-on experience. Nothing wrong with this way of learning. I'd say this is the best way to learn if you want to master a specific subject. Many great achievers have hands-on experience with their long-term mentors.
Your tips are very helpful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.
OWCH! Poor right arm.
So loving the Dragon Fruit info.
This family must have thEE best EVER health.
Another great video Mark, as always, informative and very entertaining.I should have watched before I bought my plant.
Great info! I just picked up some cuttings and am hoping for success. Loved the bloopers at the end, lol!
I respect this guy to the fullest!! Now I have my own little garden and it’s my hubby
Thank you for the very useful information and tips. I am planting my first cuttings given by a friend.
Great videos. Thank you so much for your gardening advice!
Thanks for sharing so much information to all of us!

Thanks mate! Cheers :)
Self Sufficient Me , I want to use a living tree... It's in full harsh sun and wind exposed
@@Selfsufficientmemost of your ideas work well for SW Houston are too!
Thank you so much for the great tips and generous sharing!
This is how I fond your channel with your other dragon fruit videos. I might just try growing mine this way. Thanks for the new tip update.
Ok great - yes go for it! Thank you! :)
You're right in relation to the ants. I have few green ants near my house, and I get lots of flowers but few fruit. But the dragonfruit plants near my passionfruit vine with lots of green ants get lots of fruit.
Thanks, Mark, this was not only informative but entertaining to watch. I've just purchased my first dragon fruit tree, so hopefully following your tips I will get some fruit soon. Cheers
Great stuff Toni I hope they grow well for you! Cheers :)

Beaut advice! I bought a pot with 3 stems. 2 bits fell off on the way home. Made a potting mix and planted into 5 pots. They've gone ballistic, from about 300 mm to over a metre high. Now I know what to do with them to get them to fruit! (Gotta get some BIG pots! Thanks Mark!
Awesome.
You should have your own show.
You're a natural!
love your channel buddy keep up the good work.
Thank you for your videos!! You’ve helped me in my garden immensely and I’m grateful. I’ve got dragonfruit in Southern California, we have an invasive species of Argentine ant that are incredible at farming every kind of pest, they cover my dragon fruit and flowers with aphids. I have all my plants surrounded in cinnamon and have to blast off ants and aphids daily. These ants are relentless and really love my artichokes, dragonfruit, pomegranate and okra. They are my arch nemesis in the garden and we fight it out daily.
I love all your videos! Thanks for the info!
Great video! Thank you for the tips! I have learned much from you.
