Thanks for the video. I have about 30 plants :D its a new adventure in micro farming and this video brought it all together, thank you. Greg from Umkomaas, KZN.
Thank you bud. It’s starting to take off here. We had a really long time where some suppliers sold and promoted very poor varieties. That has changed now and the market is slowly learning.
@@LivingseedsFarm Do dragon use ground and foliar NPK fertilizers? Do you recommend concrete post with dimensions of 9 feet long by 3 inches width and thickness? How many feet do you recommend be underground? I am in the planning phase of planting dragon fruit and the information is new to me, thank you so much for answering my questions.
Thank you. We use Copper Soap as a last resort in Disease Pro or Pellos does not work. livingseeds.co.za/ecobuz-disease-pro.html livingseeds.co.za/soygro-pellos.html
In Nicaragua, -Pitayas, a cactus from rainforest, are from Central America and parts of Mexico-, in the wild, they grow on big trees or death trees on the floor, I do remember my uncle saying that sometimes he used to cut -just the tips- of the ends of some the plants to forced to bearing fruit. How long before bearing fruits?Well, Depending on the climate it can get from 1 year to 17 months, after that, every 2 months or so, you will have fruit. I remember seeing the same pitaya plant last year, after more than thirty years in my uncle’s farm it’s still alive and growing. For a better yield they do use the umbrella style.
That’s how they grow in the wild in Nicaragua. Central America-origen of -Pitaya- In the same time if you want a good harvest, the best’s is the umbrella style’s the one that you can see in the video.
No problem. You will first need an import permit. That will come with any requirements. Once the IP has been supplied we can then tell you how we can supply.
In Nicaragua, my uncle, used to keep 2 or 3, varieties and I don’t remember having any problems. Don’t be afraid to experiment and try. In case you used a pot, make sure is big, 20 gallons and use 4x4 with 2x4 in the form of an X, support in the bottom, they get heavy.
If i can show you guys one of the biggest dragon fruit plants in the world in puerto rico ..its in the Forrest up on a huge flamboyant tree very high up
Hi guys. Last year for the first time, my plant that I received from a friend attempted to make fruit. I got about six flower buds, but four aborted. Two flowered and I hand pollinated. The fruit started growing, but one rotted when it was small and the other after it was quite big. Meanwhile, my Livingseeds plant was badly attacked by both snails and an orange fungus! When I removed it, I found that loads of snails had even hatched inside the original mother cutting! After watching this video, I'm assuming that over watering was the culprit of all these issues, is that correct?
It’s pretty difficult to diagnose as there may be other issues. However overwatering can be a very debilitating factor. Look at the feeding as well. A foliar spray of Nourish will go a long way to set fruit. livingseeds.co.za/1-l-talborne-nourish-4-1-6-buds-flowers-and-fruit.html
Hey Amelie. Please contact your agricultural dept for an import permit. That will give us the conditions for export to Cameroon. There after we can chat about pricing and how to get them to you.
@@LivingseedsFarm ok my dear thank you very much for your quick response. Our Ministry of agriculture here is very slow and the permit can take more than 2 years.
Do a UA-cam search: Kim Phan Dragon Fruit And/or … Spicy Exotics Dragon Fruit Lots of newer more flavorful varieties… ask which are self fertile … maybe they can ship depends on countries regulations… the Connie Gee variety needs a pollinator, but it’s an exceptional Dragon 🐉 fruit.

Great advice Thank you. Where is the place for Copper soap then as it will kill all fungus and bacteria but this is also a cure for powdery right?
Thank you.

Beautiful dragon fruit 🇳🇿❤
Thank you.
Hi. How do I get my plants to flower and bear fruit?
The cladodes need to hang to produce flowers.
It also needs to be in full sun.
Has it been fed?
In Nicaragua, -Pitayas, a cactus from rainforest, are from Central America and parts of Mexico-, in the wild, they grow on big trees or death trees on the floor, I do remember my uncle saying that sometimes he used to cut -just the tips- of the ends of some the plants to forced to bearing fruit. How long before bearing fruits?Well, Depending on the climate it can get from 1 year to 17 months, after that, every 2 months or so, you will have fruit. I remember seeing the same pitaya plant last year, after more than thirty years in my uncle’s farm it’s still alive and growing. For a better yield they do use the umbrella style.
can the cutting be tried to old tree stump instead of planted in a pot with a pole ? Got mine today and want to find the best space and place for it
Yup that would work great, just remember to put the cutting in full sun and once it starts growing, feed it.
That’s how they grow in the wild in Nicaragua. Central America-origen of -Pitaya- In the same time if you want a good harvest, the best’s is the umbrella style’s the one that you can see in the video.
This is wonderful I am from Namibia do you sell seedlings
Nope we do not sell Dragon fruit seedlings. We sell cuttings that are planted.
Like to buy cuttings I'm reciting in Bloemfontein. Can you help me.
Does dragonfruit grow true from seed? Thanks for this video.
Nope it does not, it's a shame that it's sold like that.
@@LivingseedsFarm Thanks, you just saved me a bunch of time.
Yes they do but will take longer to harvest
Hello… I want to buy some cuttings and ship to West Africa. Please let me know if that’s possible. Thank you
No problem. You will first need an import permit. That will come with any requirements.
Once the IP has been supplied we can then tell you how we can supply.
Hi. If you train up 4 vines per dropper, does it need to be of the same variety, or could one train 4 different varieties per stake?
It does not matter. If you are limited to 4 plants only use one support.
If you have space then use 4 per support.
In Nicaragua, my uncle, used to keep 2 or 3, varieties and I don’t remember having any problems. Don’t be afraid to experiment and try. In case you used a pot, make sure is big, 20 gallons and use 4x4 with 2x4 in the form of an X, support in the bottom, they get heavy.
If i can show you guys one of the biggest dragon fruit plants in the world in puerto rico ..its in the Forrest up on a huge flamboyant tree very high up
Would love to see that.
