Hope you enjoyed the video! Be sure to hit the 👍 and leave a comment. It'll help the channel continue to grow and me to make more content. Thank you for the support! 🙏
Thank you so much for your education. Without you showing and training and putting in work, mine would still be a joke. I commented once, I had mine for ~8 years. Then I watched a video from you and in this year I gained more plant mass than in the years prior. Plus I have 457,49 clones :)
Thanks for the video! I would really like one on how you prune after the season. Clearly they're growing HUGE and long... so how do you know when and how to trim back at the end of the season?
Following all your videos from Mallorca in Spain! We planted a dragon fruit plant in 2022 and now have the first fruit ripening! Thanks for all your tips!
I have loved the hylocereeae since I first started gardening many years ago. I love them for their flowers but the fruit are a bonus. They are much more popular & easy to find now. Thanks for the video.
Fantastic video my friend , I’m new to growing these dragon fruits , this year just got four cuttings growing , it’s spring time here almost summer on us here is Australia , I have the white variety and your video has been a big help for me to grow these properly. 👍
Most of mine are on the balcony now, here in Germany. So not too far away. If you watch enough of his video`s and get bold and mutig, you will grow monsters, too. I don`t think we ever get enough sun for big, fat fruits but still so much fun, mine is currently air rooting a Cannabis plant. All friends!
@aaronbrucker6062 mine are ages old. But I kept them in a tiny pot. Then I watched some videos here and began work. One might got big enough to bloom for the first time. Its more than a meter tall and grew in ~2years. So you can have some rapid, healthy growth, even "here". I use everything you can imagine to fertilize my plants. E.g. my Orchids get Cannabis plant bloom booster. Sometimes. I uploaded a short today of my balcony Cannabis plant which is cuddling with an undatus. Some Trichocereus are somewhere there, too.
I felt the same way. However everything on the site is marked sold out or coming soon. But After seeing the price tag of 85$ for some starts, I decided to stick with the unknown variety given to me by a neighbor. They are fun to grow but the fruit is really uneventful and not something your mouth waters about. There's a lot of other fruits worthy of a large price tag.dragon fruit isn't one of them. It's more of a novelty, hardly even worth the lower price of 20$. The channel is quite helpful tho with a lot of useful information and pleasant instruction
@@ollady7968 He is a great Dragon Fruit teacher and know what he is talking about. I enjoy seeing his videos and enjoy his grafting techniques. Price come from having followers that want what you have.
Love your dragon fruit videos. I have a dragon fruit growing in a tree here in Florida and it has never fruited here. Cutting came from Nicaragua where it was probably pollinated by bats on our farm. I'll need to hand pollinate probably. Planning on taking it down & planting in pots. Can I use 20-25 gallon grow bags?
Very informative video…I learned a lot,Thank u…We have a lot of this plant,but since my husband getting older he can’t take care them anymore..So now I’ve to take it over planting n taking caring🙏❤️..What size of pots u used n the soil n fertilizer ?🙏
Hi am so glad i watched your video. I had mine for 6 yrs and i have 6 posts. During that time never had any fruit and i just got interested when it started producing last yr. Now im beginning to start really interested bec of your vlog. Mine is planted on the grnd and i didnt know that you can do it in the pot. Id like to plant some in pots. How can you secure the sturdiness of the post if its just in the pot? How many gals do i have to use and how tall is the post?
I have been reading your post & just recently decided to grow these plants. Where and how do I get cuttings of the ff: 1. American Beauty - self fertile and self pollinating 2. Sugar Dragon - self fertile 3. Pink Panther - self fertile 4. Sour Patch Kids - self fertile and usually self pollinating 5. Condor - self fertile and self pollinating Thanks.
Hey brother, ive been watching your videos for quite some time and this year I made room in the backyard to setup a bunch of plants to grow. I want to support you and would like to get some cuttings to start, do you happen to sell/ship any cuttings?
Mine are spike traps I don't even know what type of dragon fruit I've got I started 2 from tiny little cuttings now they are huge so this video is helpful or I wouldn't know what to do with them . I was thinking to graft a cutting to a san Pedro cactus wonder what will come of it
The brunches you cut , they are not hardy and they are soft too , is these cuttings are good for planting? I heard mature brunch cuttings give fruits faster
Yeah. From PERSONAL experience I have several cuttings grow that I trimmed that weren't even an inch of growth. They are now fully rooted and thriving. I use Dr Earth's fertilizer *exotic* and my soil is from a local place that filled the bed of my truck for $40.
@26:20 You talk about the canopy. I'm at the stage where I topped mine and now have 3 beautiful branches going kinda crazy but it almost looks like they need topping too. But you say that those will eventually make my canopy? I don't want to cut anything until I know for sure. The other three mother plants at the bottom of the pot are growing slowly but this one is great. So I keep them and let them keep getting longer? This will make a canopy? Tia
Thank you for the video. It's very informative. Have a question for you: my cuttings are reaching top, I cut one 2 inches above the top like you said but there's one that developed 5 branches on its own at the 2 inch above the top. So do I need to cut it at all or just let it be? Thanks
I have a question 🙋, when you notice new growth coming from the side and you forsure know that's not the main branch you gonna lead to the top, is it better to let it grow pass 8 inches to use for a new cutting or better to remove it right away so you can grow to the top quicker???
Richard: how tall are your trellis? I made mine based on your videos a few years ago, its around 6ft, and my DF produced about 10 fruit last year. This year the whole trellis is leaning and has fallen over. Someone suggested that I start over but I wouldn’t get fruit again this year.
Ive only seen a few dragon fruit plants growing down from a pot in the air. Most are like what you have but are there any problems other then the weight of them with doing that?
Good morning, What variety of dragon fruit is sold in stores? I wonder if I will have fruit when I make a plant out of these, because I have grown several plants from seeds. The standard red ones with white flesh that pop up in Google when you type dragon fruit.
I live in northern CA and will be coming to SoCal. Where I can get some self fertile or self pollinating cuttings? People close to me don’t know what kind they are.
Where can I get some of those interesting varieties like Asunta-5, Starburst, etc? I have 2 unknown varieties. A fuchsia colored one and a white flesh given to me by a friend from Los Angeles. He didn't known the varieties either.
Got any Frankie’s reds yet? Small so so sweet and totally self pollinating. I live on Hawaii island. I wish I had known about the pruning techniques years ago and I have created monsters! Lots of fruit but way out of hand
Hi! Richard, Thank you very much for your helpful advice and tips. Could you sale me some good delicious dragon fruit’ branches like Thai gold, purple haze… Let me know . I live in Santa Ana and I can pick it up. Thank you again Bao

How tall should the dragon fruit grow before you build a wooden trellis
Also what is the best soil for repot your dragon fruit . Mine are about 8-10 inches tall

Thx 4 teaching the world
Gracias por compartir thus conocimientos y hacer cortes end vivo, con abundancia de explicaciones.
Aprendí mucho.
Saludos
I have three varieties of dragon fruit in my backyard because of your channel...tnx.
パソコンでなら字幕を自動で日本語に翻訳した状態で見る事ができました。
そして、この回の指導ビデオにて、剪定のやりかたがとても良く分りました。天辺の茎をカットする技は思いつきませんでした。
カットする事により、新しく芽生えた茎が無理なく上向きでなく横や下へ向く事が出来るのですね。
私はこれまで伸び過ぎた天辺の茎を無理矢理折り曲げていたので、茎に亀裂が入ったりしています。
ドラゴンフルーツは、亀裂が入っても茎が枯れる事無く大丈夫でしたが、今後は茎をカットして新芽を出させるようにします。
有益なアドバイス、本当にありがとうございました。
ちなみに、天辺から傘みたいに広がった茎に芽生えてる新芽の剪定の動画も見つけました。
まさに、疑問に思っていた事の回答が見られて嬉しいです。本当にありがとうございます。
Thanks for the very informative tips!
Glad it was helpful!
It's. nice to get all the information on what to do and not to i was trying to dragon fruit for a few years now but no fruit it just grow and grow

Thank you so much! Good luck with the journey 😊
Glad yours are growing good over there
@@MrEiht good to hear they grow at least! How old are they? And do you use bloom fertiliser and tipping to increase the chance of blooming?

Thanks for sharing. The cuttings you have removed or pruned. If you have to plant them how long will they start producing fruits?

2. Sugar Dragon - self fertile
3. Pink Panther - self fertile

Great information but I would like to know soil suitable for growing and natural fertilizer to use
Nice video, and you have setup a great store web page. I sent you a MSG. Have a great 4th with the family.

Where can we order cuttings from and howmuch do they cost please
Do you compost all the cut branches, sir??
The brunches you cut , they are not hardy and they are soft too , is these cuttings are good for planting? I heard mature brunch cuttings give fruits faster

Richard at 9:12 why wouldn’t you cut that big main branch so the growth is directed to the new main branch?

You don’t need to do anything at this point, let those 5 beaches grow all the way out into a canopy and they’ll develop fruits the very next season!
I have a question 🙋, when you notice new growth coming from the side and you forsure know that's not the main branch you gonna lead to the top, is it better to let it grow pass 8 inches to use for a new cutting or better to remove it right away so you can grow to the top quicker???
Good morning,I see you video, and I'm here in San Francisco,CA I'm dragon love, and what advice ?
What fertilizer do you use to make it grow more branches? Can you buy it online?
Which fertilizer you usef to feed your dragon fruit? Thanks
Richard: how tall are your trellis? I made mine based on your videos a few years ago, its around 6ft, and my DF produced about 10 fruit last year. This year the whole trellis is leaning and has fallen over. Someone suggested that I start over but I wouldn’t get fruit again this year.
Hi Richard, I really like to buy some cuttings of the purple flowers variety. Do you sell them?

What is the ideal post height for the dragon fruit main stem to grow on
I prefer 4-5 feet in height.
How many years do they continue to produce fruits?
Where can I get some of those interesting varieties like Asunta-5, Starburst, etc?
I have 2 unknown varieties. A fuchsia colored one and a white flesh given to me by a friend from Los Angeles. He didn't known the varieties either.
