So you leave every flower that appears vs one flower per branch. Interesting 🤔 just getting into the dragon growing game 😉
I mix all my own potting mix and I did all the mixing with a shovel as well until now. I purchased a large composting tumbler. I duct taped the air holes and mix. I can make about 3 cu ft in a few min. Saves me tons of time.
Great tip! I bet it does!
Hey paul. Appreciate everything you do.
Hi Paul, Just began my journey of growing Dragon Fruit in central Florida. Thank you for all of the useful tips!
Best of luck! Thanks for watching and make sure you have well draining soil :)
What’s up man? I live on an island out in the Southeast Pacific and my wife’s grandmother just gave me free reign over her roughly 3600 sq ft farm plot. Glad I came across your channel, it’ll surely help a ton with my new dragon fruit farm 🤙🏻
Excellent, thanks for watching and let me know if you have any questions.

So much knowledge. Love your videos and so easy to understand. Thank you!!!!!
amazing job , thank you for showing the idea to grow the dragon fruit.
So nice of you. Thanks for watching
@@WhatPlantisthatPaulWOW 😲😳 getting a flower during planting ❓❓❓
Hello! A great and fully informative video. I wanted to ask how to promote upper growth of sub branches? Do I cut the tip of apical point of the main stem once it grows to favorable size or do I simply leave it and it'll grow the sub stems by itself?
Hi paul how can i get cuttings to canada
looking for your suppliers for the mixture for your DF soil like you said you'd put on the info page. So where or what brand do you use for coconut coir. the bag went up fast and did not see the label .
at 31:13 how do you replace an old trellis to a permanent one for an established dragon fruit plant lets say 6yo? do you have to take down the plant and start over? also, you mentioned "repot" your dragon fruit plants, how often do you repot them? thank you. your vids are very informative.
thank you for sharing all this info !!!
You are so welcome!
Amazing garden of dragonfruit! Thanks for sharing so much info on growing these beautiful plants! 🥰💚
So nice of you. Thanks for watching!
Nice re run video, 🏃♀️ 👌
Hi, at what temperature should you have to purchase a heating blanket?
Hey Paul, I would like to know, do you share dragon fruit cutting? I have dragon plants but I need sugar dragon to pollinate them. If so, please give me your information. So I can get a cut in from you.
Great information
Glad it was helpful!
Just learned how to protect my dragon fruit for the winter
What soil do you use for the cuttings? It looks like the potting soil has alot more perlite vs regular?
Thanks for the video ! If I have a mature plant with cuttings can I trim back all smalll growth in late may? I get 3 fruit max a year….it’s a pretty big plant in the ground….it’s kinda wild because I planted it before I knew about trelis? Since then I’ve got some other potted plants from the parent plant with good growth …no fruit yet . Can I tip those yet ? Or wait until I get a fruit ? It’s been 3 years in pots and looks good just no buds?? Thank you very much !
Thank you so much for making this in depth video! I live in malaysia and there is so little information about this, thank u!
Glad it was helpful!
Very good information sr
Thank you!
When should you first tip the branches? In later winter, or early spring, late spring?
Overlooking your offensive sweatshirt with a Nazi Cross, this is a nice comprehensive video. I saw an Aussie who said that ants are the major pollinator for D. F. I am in 7b/8a NC and it is hot and humid here for months and we have an excessive amount of slugs and snails. My approach is setting out plastic bowls of cheap beer - they love the smell and fall in and drown a happy death. You don't need to bury the bowls as they crawl up the sides.
After all the buds are used up on a branch, do you remove the branch so the plant can grow another?
Very informative useful video super
Thank you for watching
Thanks for sharing. Could they live in the shaded area?
Thanks, yes, 30-50% shade cloth is fine
following this guide again this year as my plants get over the trellis and hoping for my first flush on 8 varieties. Thank you for these great videos and sharing your knowledge! Visit me in Miami anytime
Wow, Thank you for the kind words. I hope you have an excellent season.
Do you have a video on how you did your dragonfruit frame for it to climb up?
Here are a few ideas... ua-cam.com/video/3mPatdaWiGU/v-deo.html
It's very unfortunate that I live very far from where you are I am very much interested how can I get some seedlings please.
I think we are advantaged in terms of soil in Africa.
Getting flower while rooting and planting ❓😮😳❓
It happens, but at the expense of growth usually.
Can you use the grow bags for aerating instead of plastic tubs?
People do, but they tend to break down after a few years.

Please let us know what brand coir that was. Thank you
I like OMRI certified chunky coco coir and can find it on amazon. I believe a brand is called "Grow IT"
I've just been gifted 2 dragon fruit plants (unknown variety) and have been watching videos (including many of yours) to figure out how to take care of them. While I have a green thumb and lots of gardening experience, I live in Zone 9b (Davis, CA) where our summers are too hot and dry and our winters too cold to give me any confidence that I can help these dragon fruit flourish. I have an unheated greenhouse that might work in the winter OR large windows in my dining room that face south and receive sun all day. I've been thinking of putting them in a large pot that I can wheel indoors when temps drop (or let them enjoy air conditioning when temps exceed 110 as they did last summer). I would far rather grow them outside, but fear they will not survive. What so you suggest?
I am in zone 9b too. Once the plants are mature, they should do fine in the winter. You can cover them with frost cloth if needed. If possible, just grow them under 30% shade cloth and they will thrive in your area.
I found that a mix that works well for me and doesn't require as much work as that is 50% Miracle Grow Citrus and 50% Miracle Grow Orchid.
Thanks! This mix is just too complicated
Like the video but am not finding links to stuff you use
Sorry, Scott the editor made this mix, do you want trellis materials or fertilizer. Let me know and I'd be happy to help
central Florida?
I'm in San Diego, CA
Do you sell your dragonfruit cuttings?
Yes, usually in our Facebook group. You can also email me at whatplantisthatpaul@gmail.com
ok i have a really stu[pid question, is the flesh edible? not the flower or the fruit, but the stems? some cacti and suculants have edible flesh some can be juiced and cooked. Some can even be made into alcohal. So my question is, are there any other uses for dragon fruit plants, dragon plants?
Yes they are, ive been eating them for years. Not very appealing texture or flavor. Not bitter or unpleasant though.
❤🎉
I want to take the cutting of this dragon tree, dada please give it to me,I live in India
Sorry, USA only
Why do you wear rubber gloves?
J I 6 Y😅
That is not dragon fruit that is coctus fruit
Hylocereus and selenicereus are dragon fruit.
What a mess. You can just use a fence post or even pvc. From my experiences pitaya grows like a weed. So trashy looking.
So positive Jon!
I gave you a comment on your first one hour video. You are making too many mistakes and disinforming people. You are using bags and bags of different mixes when these plants need nothing. That's why you got rooting stalks, pests, bugs, etc. They are attracted fo the surplus of nutrientes your plants have. Your plants are yellow, curved and mushy they should be dark green, hard and the stalks not bending at all. Think about it. You don't even need the common arrangement of the big pole and 6-7stalks growing until they can wrap around the pole. Someone started this and now people think they need to wait 3- 4 years for the plant to reach this long line long stalks to give fruit. Check how Asian people grow this. Just 2-3 stalks shorter poles just a wide round shallow planter and the plants give more production that way. Really there is no need for the plant to be 7-8 feet long they give fruit just from the first stalk using just sand and poor soil and a lot of sun. Dry climate almost not water at all.
