      Hey I'm trying to grow them from seeds in Arizona in a pot which place in the backyard would be better to put the pot with the seeds please answer back and I enjoy watching your video

    • @TruXomD3
      @TruXomD3 5 років тому

      You can grow dragon fruit (DF)from seeds but it would take a long time to produce fruits unlesss they are yellow (DF) which are hard to obtain a cut. DF is originally found in Israel , it's a type of cactus which like to be in direct sunlight. I would suggest you to buy a mature cut either online or know someone who is growing one. In Southern California people are growing red( usually smaller in size) and white dragon fruits in their backyard. If you can provide a link to your Facebook, I will message for more information.

    Jake, you're amazing. You're honestly a role model. You deserve millions of subscribers. People need to change their ways and learn from you to grow their own food to live healthy. Our food industry is absolutely terrible. Thank you for your videos Jake, you're my biggest inspiration and reason I garden organically. I'll always continue watching your videos and hopefully I'll get to meet you in real life some day.

      Yeah no, our food industry isn't wrong, nor is it wrong to eat animals, we have the teeth we have to eat flesh, not to eat the food a cow or rabbit should be eating.
      Yes, some of the industry is brutal, but if you think about it, it's the only way to get things done. Also, what reasoning is there to become vegan? You get less nutrients, less calories, your muscles become deaded if you don't concentrate on eating only X plants because they're the only ones with protein and calory.. it makes absolutely no sense.

    @stevenputney8790 6 років тому +2

    I agree it needs more sun, another hour or two would make a big difference. Also, I have had several types of dragonfruit and must say the variety called "Dark Star" is my favorite. You can order it online.

  • @dannyboy27ish

  • @josephrobinson9318
    @josephrobinson9318 7 років тому +1

    Really cool that you got it to fruit! I have noticed though that when the "wings" for lack of a better word on the fruit are not quite that plump, the fruits are much more sweet. Not sure if the bugs would get to it first if you let it get ripe like that so take this with a grain of salt. Happy Gardening!

After ate a yellow dragon fruit last year on Feb. some day, I planted several DF seeds, guess what? Right now in front me is a baby DF plant, so pretty. I'm waiting for her to grow up'n to give me some dragon fruits! That's why when I'm watching your video I'm so exciting! Jake, I know some Chinese people who successfuly grew a self-pollination dragon fruit and weighs more than 1 1/2 LB
