Growing DRAGON FRUIT CACTUS Time Lapse
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- Since getting this one to fruit would probably take a few years i thought i would stop at 4 months. Will put it in a light spot at home and see how big it will grow over time.
"Selenicereus undatus, the white-fleshed pitahaya, is a species of Cactaceae and is the most cultivated species in the genus. It is used both as an ornamental vine and as a fruit crop - the pitahaya or dragon fruit." - Wikipedia

I had no idea that dragon fruit was apart of the cactus family. Thanks for sharing and expanding my knowledge.
Same
Its a tropical cactus, which is kinda wierd if you think about a cactus you usually think desert
Yh i knew, i used to have a dragon fruit plant and id go to collect from it quite often
U know moon cactus u see in box stores? Yea the bottom is dragon fruit (grafted)
Do people really not know that dragonfruit are cactus?thats crazy to me.. I mean I guess a lot of people don't really think about where fruits and things come from. Like cashews for example! They are just the seed coming off of a cashew fruit..one for each fruit...and pistachios are in the mango family
It's amazing how it starts with two small leaves like every regular plant and then suddenly decides to turn into a cactus instead.
Yeah😂😂🤣🤣
Evolution is just amazing and weird at the same time. Lack of water? Fatten the leaves! Animals start munching on water rich leaves? SPIKES!
"Cactus" that doesn't have the ouchy parts.
Looks like an universal "starter pack" so they can harvest the sun's energy🙌
Is it there any plant that doesn't start with two leaves?🤔
@@us7876 A lot of plants: mosses, ferns, pines, grass, onions, lilies; to name a few.
Well. Guess I now know what to surprise my big sis with. She loves dragon fruits and the only plants seeming to be capable of surviving with her are cacti.
@@cvlmatlana5162 pretty sure they mean their sister is bad at taking care of any plants other than cacti, because they don't need much water.
@@cvlmatlana5162 it means they keep killing plants, not everyone has a green thumb, heck plenty seem to either over or under water their plants.
Me, I have issues getting something past the sprouting phase, i have issues with mold growing
@@cvlmatlana5162 bruh wtf. Dude resist sexuality even if it's your humour 😂
@@cvlmatlana5162 💀
@Cringe Mobile sometimes some are plain taste, some can be sweet and sour too. It just depends, like a good watermelon and a bad one.
It’s amazing how just one little seed grows so big, and eventually creates what he started from. Nature is so cool, seeing plants grow just has something mesmerising to them.
Especially trees. How one little acorn can grow into a giant tree, it’s just, amazing.
Appreciate that boxlapse started from the utmost beginning- taking the seeds straight from the fruit and putting it in a petri dish.
I am like number 999 congrats to whomever is 1k
Can't believe there 1k likes but only 3 comments
Dragon fruit is my favorite, but I never knew how it grew and what the plant looks like. I can’t believe it was a cactus
The more you know
Same here
Its a vine cactus..needs a tree or something to climb and support itself..really cool plants

I remember when I was just a little kid, my grandparents grew a plenty of dragon fruit in the yard
Miss them so much
The fact that it took 1:56 seconds to grow is really impressive.
Crazy Dave: hold my Taco
*116 seconds
I'm glad to know that my tiny dragon fruit seedlings are right on schedule for growing,. I thought mine were stunted since they have seemed to be the same size for ages.
grass is the enemy
they grow so fast that by the time the cactus grew to one inch, the grass have fully occupied the pot
they are bigger than the cactus, overcrowd it.
You really tried growing them from seed? Wow, that takes dedication
I tried my best to do that but I still prefer just the cactus and grafting
I remember as a kid, the first time I tried to grow a plant and being fascinated by the tiny growths it made over the few days and weeks I had it. I'd sit there staring for 20+ minutes wishing I could see even the slightest change- and be able to actually see it happen. These videos remind me of those innocent days when something so small was something I wanted so badly, and it warms a very special place in my heart being able to do so.
I've been growing a Redbud tree for 23 years now. When I got it, it was a tiny dried up twig. Now it's nearly 20 feet tall.
That's adorable✨
Curiosity sure makes us wonder to much
Grow Bamboo or Kudzu. They grow so fast that you can literally watch it grow if you watch it long enough
That’s me right now. Except that I’m 22 lol
I see the algorithm has blessed us all once again
Yes, yes indeed
I'm calling it, a lot of people clicked on this because they didn't know dragon fruit came from cactus (myself included lol)
That is very true tho-
Bro these days there’s people that dont know where chicken nuggets come from
Well I already knows that
Actually not surprising. Seen similar cactus fruits to dragon fruit but didn't ever know for sure
🤯
Can we talk about how slowly it grows? Over a hundred days for that tiny bit of growth
That’s why cactus’ don’t need as much water as other plants.
Kinda like how people need less food (proportionately) than say, mice.
It’s a slow metabolism.
hes growing so fast :,)
spiky pickle
@@HopGrasser it's also like how we take years to grow when, say, a mosquito would only take a few days
Dedication I’d say.
For some reason growing plants in time-lapse is beautiful. I love it
Imagine if we could make them grow super fast as if it was in time lapse? that would be so amazing...
Growing in real life is crazy it takes two months to reach a finger tip height
That is amazing. I never realized dragon fruit come from a cactus. I have prickly pear cacti growing all over my yard, and they get the red prickly pears. The dragon fruit is like a massive prickly pear. So cool to see something I've seen my whole life in a whole new light.
He had his hands on his hips, so proud of himself.
Shaaaaaaaaa raaaaaaap
I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who loves dragon fruit but never thought to look it up to see how it grows, I also did not know they were a part of the cactus family, I thought it was off of a tree like peaches
Nice profile picture
@@nazex2445 thank you! 😁 that's my favorite pic of him, it makes me giggle every time
I thought they were a vine since I'd never looked into them!
@@MyerShift7 lol yea none of us looked it up, lol I never would've guessed a cactus. I actually have an Angel Wings cactus that is still really small, I'm thinking about seeing if I can grow one in there 😁
@ata yüksel it's marilyn manson, ofc it's good
In only 20 years you'll have your first dragon fruit to eat
Confirmo
Some dragonfruits can produce fruit in just around a year. But container-grown plants can take up to two years. Not as long as you described
Have a nice day to everyone who didn't know it's a cactus

I still think it grew arms.
So did everyone just get this randomly recommended to them today?
Huh, guess it's time to fall into a " how to grow " things rabbit hole
Bruh. This has been in m feed for days now, I just clicked so YT could stop recommending it to me. But I learned something, so there's that.
I was not aware that Dragonfruit was a cactus. Guess ya learn something new every day. I wonder what tomorrow will bring. (Honestly, I can't say that I'm happy that I'm so bored to the point where I'm excited to learn something, anything. Anything to get rid of this boredom.)
Funny enough I had a conversation like just over an hour ago before this showed up in my recommendations with a friend about dragonfruit and how he’d be willing to give me a piece of his yellow one so I can grow my own. The Google Ninjas are real
Is it one of these again? I did get it recommended but I watch a lot of "growing stuff" type videos so I didn't think anything of it.
Recommended
i once fell into that rabbit hole when i was growing weed
omg can't wait for the part 2 with the fruit. guess we'll have to wait some years anyway lmao
part 2 will be in two year lol
@@TheShadowCallers damn :/
If you're lucky, only after grafting it you will see fruit in 2 years, but from the seed, it takes more than 2 years
cuttings are a lot quicker 12 to 24 months for fruit, it takes years from seed absolutely not worth it
@@lucaojooj pu
These dragon fruits are so propagatable. I haven't tried a seed but I rescued a dragon fruit that was neglected and covered with spiderwebs. After I cleaned it up and transplanted it it started growing like crazy. I wanted to learn to propagate it so I watched a few vids. All I had to do was just cut off part of a limb and stick it in the dirt. It roots very quickly that way. (quicker than in water only). In 6 months the original plant has over a foot of new growth and I've propagated 3 more plants that are growing new limbs already. I doubt it will fruit in the cold fog of San Francisco but it's till a pretty cactus looking plant and grows fast. I've heard that if there is some stem on the fruit you can grow a new plant from that stem. Love this.
Imagine how slow the music must have been playing

@@rakimu2233 the joke has context
So I planted a bunch of random seeds that I saved a while back and I was surprised to see cactus growing. I generally don't like growing things that hurt me. I just randomly stumbled across this video, and now it all makes sense! 😃
So happy UA-cam found this channel for me. It's amazing to see things grow.
What a precious little seedling. Such careful conditions to nurture it, and such a lot of time needed, and that earth- the soil alive with its own ecosystem.. what an amazing thing our world is.
K
If you’re wondering why a cactus grew, It’s because dragonfruit grows on cactus and it takes a really REALLY long time. Cactus can take years to grow to full size, and will only just then start growing fruit. After they’re fully grown though you can get TONS of fruit every year if watered enough. You can have a lot of fruit every year if you take good care of the plant.
Imagine having to record 150+ days of footage for a 2 minute video, now that's what I call great content
Dedicated man
Not really such a long footage. Lots of timelapse videos are shot in a way which only 1 photo is taken each time period and then play all the photos as a slideshow in fast pace.
Just ate a dragon fruit and this got recomended. Something is not right
youtube is stalking you
Did you actually talk about buying the fruit? Like on the phone or something?
@@MrTerminator3010 no, i just ate it. i never said i would buy a dragon fruit close to my phone.
You: *chuckles* I'm in danger
I talked about it with my mom a couple hours ago then UA-cam recommended the video
Tell me im not the only one that saw the cactus with his arms on his hips like "well? Im waiting" in the thumbnail
Can we have a moment of appreciation for the camera person who stood in front of that plant for 113 days?
Hola
10 mins ago, strange?
No human has the patience for that, he left the cam there and checked on it everyday.

I'd have given up after one minute.
Well done I'd say.
I was thinking the same.. Imagine so many rehearsals he had to go through to successfully pull off holding camera still for 113 days
This is a joke right?
@@DENIZ.DENIZ. the rehearsal part? I don't think so.. I'm sure there must have been many failed attempts..
Secondly you can also try tweeting a SS of this comment thread (and hope that it goes viral) and let internet tell you what's going on
@@InstinctRush he wasn't holding the camera it has a stand and it's not possible to rehearse when the plant is growing

I liked seeing how the little dragon fruit grew. I am now growing my own dragon fruit. 🍈🌱
That one seed received more love in 113 days than I've done my entire life.
It truly is a sight when the flowers start to bloom during nights, it's mostly a 1 time bloom hope you don't miss it
People will never fully appreciate how long and how much effort these time lapses take

Please, I want continuation of this video.
I love how at 107 days it becomes much sassier.
underrated comment
Ikr
Nature is so beautiful. It didn't take long for her to grow such a beautiful small plant.
I love nature.
yup
I never knew dragon fruit was the fruit of a cactus. Coool!
I like how at day 107, two little arms appear.
I… didn’t expect it to look like _that_
Do you people realise that dragon fruit grown from seed to bearing fruit would take at least about 3 years?
That's what I really wanted to know. Not even going to fact check it, that sounds right to me.
read the description
I've done this also with the seeds of that other small cactus red fruit that is sold in supermarkets, the one that looks like a prickly egg. It's amazing how easily those seeds sprout, and that variety of cactus looks nice too.

Yep
It's interesting to see the soil contracting and expanding when you add water. It doesn't actually look too hard to grow and I'm pretty sure that a local grocer sells Dragon Fruit, I have a petri dish, and plenty of time on my hands, Although it may be cool to see if I can grow a prickly pear. They grow naturally here and their fruit is probably ripe for the picking now. I could just grab one for free (avoiding the spikes), pick out some seeds, and see if I can get them to at least germinate. Thanks for the inspiration!
Keep us updated as you do, I'm interested to know how it goes
Ya keep us updated
Growing plants is so clamming, I started my journey with one type of herb if you know what I mean and just slowly expanded into things like peppers, lemons, spices. I do wish I could one day own my own farm.
I gennerally just grow them out of passion and curiosity, but some things like peppers are more because I don't feel like paying 6 dollars for 50grams of habanero and close to 8 dollars for carolina peppers, I basically eat them at every meal but the were too expensive to buy fresh, and drying them up removed a lot of flavor.... long story short, if you go drive into this hobby I think you are inn for a treat!
I've never grown a cacti from seed, and damn wouldn't it be hilarious to have a home grown cactus at 69.69 degree north?!
@@svampebob007 That's a pretty stark difference in climate. You could probably still grow a cactus up there, but you'd probably need to construct a container for it that would keep it at a good temperature and you'd have to water it properly, IE not damp 100% of the time. Looking it up really quick it's about 70-95+ degrees during the summer and spring and can go as low as 55 degrees in the fall and winter. That's a pretty normal temperature range around where I live so it makes sense. I can't wait till winter lol, it's literally 90f in my room rn.
They are super easy to grow. I left some cuttings on a table for a year and they were still alive and are now growing well in soil. You're also way less likely to over water them than regular cacti as they are from the forest and do well with lots of water.
To everyone in the comments getting mad about the cactus not growing Dragon fruit on it here's a little reminder or fact. Firstly the title says *"SEED TO CACTUS"* clear as day says it and never mentions the fruit blooming on the cactus. Secondly it can take a very long time for the fruit to actually grow so he only showed the cactus's growth (years maybe for the fruit).
You missed the part of the title that clearly says "Growing Dragon Fruit"?
@@nikolaidrostdov Growing the "Dragon fruit" PLANT not the fruit, the PLANT, like use your brain dude.
@@nikolaidrostdov Also thats what the second part of the title is there for.
I've had dragon fruit before, but I had no idea it came from a cactus. 🐉🥭🌵🤯
You can either grow it like a cactus or grow it next to a tree and it wil grow like some kind of vine.
Cool, a new thing a day

Shoutout to the cameraman who stood there filming for 113days straight 👏👏👏
Never knew young cacti looked just like any other seedling 🌱
This is awsome and satisfying at the same time thanks I appreciate how much time you put into this
I can't believe how long it takes! 100 days for a tiny lil cactus! My biology bean experiment only took like 4 days...
Yeah beans grow hella quick, just like peas.
And here’s the funny thing it would take a total of maybe 2 more years for the Dragon fruit cactus in the video
to start producing other fruits.
Mom: hey what have you been doing for the past 100 days?
Me:
I never realized dragonfruit came from a cactus. Interesting how often it was watered though!! I've killed succulents using less water than that. Lol
Guess his medium is mostly coco therefore hard to overwater while containing more oxygen the more its moistened up. Sounds weird but it's true. Still I agree you don't need that much for that lil plant
Whoa I feel like this plant actually grows pretty slow. Does it normally take 4 months for a small cactus ur is it specific to dragon fruit 🤔
All cactuses grow very very slow regardless of the type
Its normally very slow for all cactuses when they're still a young plant, however they'll start growing much quicker once they're older.
I received a seedling from a friend years ago. If you're thinking about growing one, be aware it's not a good indoor houseplant. They take a long time to grow, they need very strong support, and require a LOT of direct sun or they become pencil-thin and break under their own weight. It's easy to make cuttings and pop them into some cactus soil (like a succulent!) if you want to share with friends. They can never be exposed to cold temps.
I hope it one day bears fruit, preferably before I die of old age. -_-
Hahaha preferably before you die of old age😂
Probably not frost tolerant 😕
Sounds like Florida would be great to grow one then.
lmao. I have 2 full grown dragon fruit plants and multiple cuttings I've placed in soil. ive only harvested one fruit :')
yesterday i watched a time lapse video of a Dragonfruit Decaying,and today i see a time lapse of dragonfruit grow from a seed.
So everyone got this in there recommendations today?
Yeah?
yep
Yeah
Yep
Yes ✌
0:30 it was so sad watching only 1 get picked and the other ones die
I thought I might try this until I read that Dragonfruit Catus grows 10 to 20 feet tall.
yeah, but it can be easily controlled because of how slow they grow, commercial growers grow it like a bonsai tree but cactus.
Yes most of them are much shorter. Look for a video on how to care for dragon fruit plants and see if its something you are interested in but works best in hot areas like California or Florida or new Mexico they need a lot of water for a cactus

Lots of cactus put out a fruit. I know some in the US that people harvest and pressure steam out the juice and then make jelly from it. You can also eat the pads of quite a few varieties too. I hear peyote cacti are really delicious.

I had no idea either, but this just shows how disconnected we are from where our food comes. It is an exotic fruit, but still there are more people that don't even know where their bread comes from or what steps are involveld in making it. Which is kinda sad.

@@LambdaTF2 Is wait you need to wait 5 to 7 years before you can harvest most fruit trees
@@davidaix5771 if it was from the seed, yes it take 5-7 years. It's faster if you plant the mature branch, it take maybe a year or less .
For all of you asking why the seeds don't sprout inside the fruit; there is no light inside the fruit.
Hard to believe, I know.
Don’t the seeds not sprout due to not having water hence why the first thing done is placing the seeds in water allowing the plant to respire giving energy to grow the shoot and root
The shoot having chlorophyll which then proceed to photosynthesise to further provide energy for growth
But the fruit has enough water and moisture in it.
As a basic rule, generally (not always) a seed need both (sun)light and water/moisture to germinate. While it can be rare, there are instances of seeds sprouting inside a fruit once the fruit is past its ripe state. This most commonly happens with tomatoes, but don't look it up - it looks gross :)
I DON’T KNOW THAT A DRAGON FRUIT’S TREE WAS A CACTUS
This was my reaction too.
