Hey Dragon Fruit Fam! Hope you found this helpful 😊
How are you doing with the cold weather?
Mine are since october in my basement in the dark and at the end of april i´ll put them outside, give them a good prune because they have some thin branches and give them some new soil on the top
Nice!!! Perfect way to protect and grow them through the winter. Good luck this season
I’m going to use that trash bag idea for hurricane season!
Good luck with the hurricane season!
and other tip pick all the oranges 🍊 and make juice everyday stay healthy Thanks for the tips Richard 👍
I will definitely do that. Thank you 😊
Thanks for the tips
You’re welcome! How are your dragon fruits doing?
We are getting a Norther blast, Its going to freeze hard. I have a few rooted plants still growing in a plastic rapped 10x4 nursery with a ceramic heater ready to keep them warm. Thanks Richard, for sharing.
Oh man that sounds brutal. Hope your plants get through it and continue to thrive. Good luck!
Thank you.@@GraftingDragonFruit
Definitely helpful, thank you!
I barely started this year I have three different varieties & they are inside still rooting 😊
Glad it was helpful! That’s awesome you’re just starting. You’ll love the journey so much! Good luck with your fruits :)
@@GraftingDragonFruit 😊thank you!
My 12 Vietnam reds have the rust spots and many have had mushy branches. I have since trimmed them and have them covered. Hopefully they'll be okay come spring/summer. I've also used a 16/16/16 general garden fertilizer for their winter feeding
Great knowledge. I live in the high desert I grow pistachios but want to try DF. Do you sell cuttings? I’m interested in a few.
In our climate ( South India) biggest quest - survive dragon plant in summer time, because is sun burning.
So I live in zone 7(NY) how do I keep a dragon 🐉 fruit plant 🪴 alive here??????
Temperatures range in the winter -20F /50F indoor 55F/70F
When will the shop be open? I would like to add Hana and a few others to my collection.
Hopefully in early spring
Hey Richard , can it take heat in desert using semi shaded and alkaline water.
Hi Richard, What will you do when the pot gets filled up with regular fertilizing. Covering in rainy season will be cumbersome for my 50 pots. Temperature ranges from 15 to 38⁰ C. They are doing well. Kerala -India.
Great tips Rich!
So far so good on the central coast!
Thank you!
Glad to hear your dragons are doing good!!
My DF plants took a major hit from the cold temps. The older growth did a bit better, but still a lot of damage. The branches have turn soft and or mushy. I plan on cutting the mushy parts back to the good part of the branch of possible. If mushy down to the soil, I will just remove that plant and replant more DF.
Good luck!!
Mine got fungus! I live in Northern California when it rained heavy and went below 45 degree, these plants are unhappy . What soil composition do you use?
Thanks for the tips. I see your neighbors Orange trees are sharing their oranges with you, what do they taste like, are they super sweet without any acidity or tartness? I had some seedlings that were from fruit that tasted like that but I lost all of them last summer I don't know what happened. Thanks Richard
You’re welcome!
Yes lots of oranges and they aren’t super sweet. Very juicy with some tartness. Really good for orange juice.
Hope you’ll have a better dragon fruit season this year
How do I get a wild berry skittles cutting?
Richard question on tip 4. I live in Orange County like you as well. How often are you fertilizing ? I know you are alternating dr earth then worm. So are you fertilizing twice a month?
Hi Richard, I recently checked one of my DF and it's not as plump as it used to be. I planted one of its cuttings next to it and it seems to be doing fine. We've had pretty cold nights - 18 degrees Celsius- I've also noticed that the bottom of the plant has gotten a little lighter but I don't suspect any sunburn since it hasn't affected the rest of the plant. What do you think might be the issue ?
Might be experiencing some root rot so check underneath the soil
just pick those oranges 🍊 😅❤
I do but there are so many haha
Richard have you see the guy who covers all his plants with plankets ?? He seems to think keeping the due off his branches cures his rust issues ? Curious as I have mine indoor till warmer weather. I do have one variety that has spots indoors ? 70deg at 50% humidity, so I’m not sure rust is caused by due, rain or over watering??
I haven’t seen that guy so I’m not sure what he does. Rust can be cause of various factors but usually it’s a combination of cold weather and extra moisture
Desde PANAMÁ 🇵🇦,saludos y muchos éxitos.👍👏👏
Saludos!! 😊😊😊
Hello Richard, I grow dragon fruit in pots at home and I heard that dragon fruit is sensitive to air flow. How many hours a day should it be exposed to air flow and can it perform photosynthesis with the light I use daily? I have a separate question. Can we get the same result if we pollinate the same type of pollen with different flowers?
@@WhatPlantisthatPaul I live in Turkey and the weather is usually cold in winter. That's why I covered my dragon fruit with plastic wrap. Is this useful?
4:10 so, as long as the inner stem/stalk/bone/whatever is present, it’s ok? I have one DF where I had to remove all the green soft flesh at the bottom. It looks like a chicken wing now.
Yes that’s correct.
Hi Richard. I was planning on planting some dragonfruits today and live in Long Beach. Do you think the weather is still too cold?
You can plant but definitely have to work around the colder weather
Is Diego Desert King the same as DK-16 ?
They are different varieties
i just bought my first dragon fruit at my local Lowe's just says red flesh on it
That’s exciting! There are a handful of trusted sellers in my FB group if you’re ever wanting to go that route. Would recommend having two just incase it’s not self-pollinating
By the way. Your face book group is impossible to join. Its asking me to answer a question that doesnt exist.
That’s strange. People are joining daily
I have 102 tios dragon fruit and 12 somatic Fusion dragon fruit
Nice!! How are they doing?
@@GraftingDragonFruit I already have the first fruits
@@GraftingDragonFruit I will post the video on the channel
Nice!! Very cool. Hopefully they come out tasting amazing
I want sour patch watermelon!
Hopefully be available soon
Hi Richard
So if your using the Dr Earth Grow, are you not using flora nova any more??
I use flora nova when it’s time to help induce buds and fruits
That’s for sale cuts
Yes coming soon in a few weeks
