I did the same thing but with red dragon fruit seeds. I have literally hundreds of baby red dragon fruit growing now
Nice! That is great. My little plants are growing nicely but they're still pretty small. I'll do an update video on them in the spring - I suspect I may need to repot them around that time. Please feel free to let me know how you get on with yours. Happy growing.
Same
👍
Same
Me too. But mine didn't form cactus
For those who are having trouble with growing tiny seeds like strawberry, dragon fruit, blueberyy, and stuff like that, I recomend that you fill a pot with soil, on top of the soil put a paper towel, on top of the put your seeds, and cover it with more soil. I came up with this method myself, i tried it with some dragon seeds and it worked! I recommend!!!
I did the same thing and now have some little cute Dragon fruit trees.
That is fantastic to hear, I'm so glad you are growing them too. Mine grew very slowly at first (you can see them in my one year update video which is pinned as the top comment).
Since then though, they've really started to grow a lot faster. I'll do another update video on them when I transplant them out to a bigger container in the coming weeks.
Happy growing, I wish you continued success!
I tried dragon fruit yesterday and some other fruits such as Jack fruits and red bananas. I really liked them.
I'm happy to see you are growing your own fruit. 🙂❤️🍓
Very cool, thank you! Sorry for the delayed reply but in case you saved some of the seeds, I hope you are growing them yourself. After a very slow start (see my pinned comment to see them after a year's worth of growth), they are finally starting to grow much faster. I'll be doing an update video on them in the coming weeks when I transplant them.
Once the seedlings appear it's best to remove the lids, they need airflow which will prevent damping off ( rotting) x
Thank you for the information!
I started growing my seeds in a damp napkin inside a sandwich bag that gets direct sunlight and they grew with in a week or less
Awesome, glad to hear that! Good luck and happy growing!
I did the same thing and now I got two pots growing my dragon fruits
That’s awesome!!! I’m going to start this week. How long did you leave the seeds in the sandwich bag before you planted them?
@@Grapeseedoil not even a week as soon as I saw that they were rooting or growing ( which only took a few days no more then a week on most of them) I planted them since it’s hard to take them off the napkin. Some of the ones that were already rooted on the napkin were planted with the napkin and they still grew!!
@@laurenp1384 Thanks!!! I can’t wait to start now. Ever since I grew my plant from an avocado pit I’ve been saving the seeds from some of the fruits I eat to see the outcome. 🌵
Those little 'cactus' are soooo darn cute!😍😂 they have little fluff growing on top.😜😂 Thank you, I'll try to grow some from the dragon fruit I bought!
Thank you! I'm so happy to hear that you are going to grow some too. Good luck and please let me know how you get on with them!
@@ConscientiousOmnivore hey I sliced my dragon fruit and put it in the fridge will the seeds still grow
@@jordanparijo7995 I don't think cold stratification is necessary to germinate these. Apologies for the late reply, hopefully things worked out well for you.
I grew mine in the wet paper towel and zip lock bag against the sunny window method.
That's great Cheryl! When did you start growing them? How big are your plants?
I planted a veitenam white dragon fruit 4 weeks ago and and I just saw the spikes sprouting of the main stem!🎋📣
Awesome!
Tip for anyone watching this: Grow lights are your friends so they don't get leggy and fall over as seedlings
what color light do you keep them on?
Unfortunately, I simply don't have the space to setup lights in the house but I do imagine they would benefit greatly from them. I keep them on an east facing window sill and they seem fairly OK with that.
I did this and they are growing wild in my kitchen for 4 years now and I don't know how to prune them lol.
That is awesome! Mine are still just a little over a year old and they are still very small. I look forward to having to prune them :-) I'd love to see video of your plants if you can post one.
I believe you can propagate them that way too and then you can give them away as gifts. I'll definitely make a video about that when the time comes.
Thank you for this video!! Have my seeds ready to be planted, but was looking for information on how to do it...
Awesome, glad I could be of help. Please let me know how your plants come along! I'll be doing an update video on mine in the spring. The biggest one so far is a little less than 2 inches tall.
Thankyou for the help!
Thank you for watching, glad you found it useful. Good luck and happy growing!
Thanks!
SO COOL! going to try this :)
Awesome, glad to hear it! Happy growing and good luck!
I bought dragon fruit seed maybe about 2 years ago, couldn't plant them sooner. But at last I got the chance. there's only 12 of them and Your video helped me understand how to do it. Hope I don't ruin them :D
I'm glad to hear that you've planted them and I wish you great success in growing them! Please let me know if they sprout and start growing for you.
If you're interested, you can also see how these are growing now (a little over a year later) in the video that is the top pinned comment.
great video!
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it! My plants are now a little over a year old. I'll try and post an update on them in the next few days.
Wow very good skill to grow dragon seeds
Thank you, glad it was useful!
Excellent sharing for growing dragon. Big like. Thanks new friend
Glad you found it useful, thank you!
I almost threw mine out because they were not growing for a long time but today I saw some sprout
Excellent! Glad to hear that it's working for you. Good luck with their continued growth! Don't give up, mine are growing slowly but surely. If you'd like to see what they look like about a year later, check the video in my pinned comment.
They are now having little spikes
@@maksimshendrik6856 Excellent! I'm so glad to hear that and wish you continued success growing them!
You might have had a damping off problem. I would remove the little plastic domes after sprouting. Too much humidity may have done them in.
Thanks, I did sprout new ones and didn't use the lid this time. Seems to have worked better.
@@ConscientiousOmnivore 👍
Finally some one with a creat title!
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Cactus grow pretty slow, leave them in full sun and the hottest area of the house and they will grow pretty quick, the hotter the better
Thanks a lot for the tip! They are all still doing nicely and growing but very slowly. I'll do an update video at the end of the year and show how they are progressing.
Are you growing these as well?
@@ConscientiousOmnivore Yep! I live in California so usually that's there normal growing environment with all the heat. And my dragon fruit from seed is growing good.
@@ElexGamingLifeSafetyGuy Nice, glad to hear it! Are you actually able to leave them outside during winter as well? For me, I'll definitely need to keep them indoors and hopefully, I'll eventually keep them in a walipini or greenhouse.
@@ConscientiousOmnivore the plants can survive winter for me, but if it gets under 40 degrees then I recommend putting them inside or in a green house. But I think a wallpini will be great for the plants.
I'm eating a yellow one while watching this. They sometimes have them at the 99c store. Much sweeter!
Did you try growing them? I'd love to know your experience if you did, please let me know!
No I haven't yet. I'm down sizing my garden due to having to move to RV life.
I ate one today that looked ZACLY like that. I forgot it in my truck for a few days. Wanted to try growing one from seed. I have a plant from a cutting.
That is great! It's my understanding that from cuttings, they grow much faster and bear fruit sooner too. How is your plant doing?
They are epiphytes, so you might have luck mounting them on cylinders of aviary wire stuffed with unmilled sphagnum moss. You might even try sprouting them in moss rather than soil.
Thanks Laura! I've got some new ones sprouted too but I'll try moving them into the sandy soil mix sooner this time.
@@ConscientiousOmnivore Happy growing!
Yellow ones are the sweetest.
Unfortunately, I still haven't had a yellow one yet. Someday :-)
Most cacti are slow growers with Peyote and Saguaro being some of the slowest growers and longest to flower🙂
Thanks for the information! That is encouraging :-)
You can peel pitahaya, just cut it in half, then again, and just peel.
Thanks!
Yellow ones are very sweet! Find one and you'll see.
Would love to try one!
Can I ask you, I have grown some from seeds’ I was amazed at how easy they sprouted and the % in which did sprout! I had 90% of mine die and the 10% remaining are only 1 inch tall and it’s been probably 2.5-3 months! I have them just in my window in normal soil that is nutrient rich with some compost and then a couple others in a Sandy mix with compost as well. What is the trick to actually get them to grow?
Mine have two tiny hairs coming up through the middle so I am hoping they start to make their cactus look soon
It takes time.
Since it's seed sprouted it will take few years before the plant is mature enough to flower.
If it's cutting propagated from mature plants, it takes one year before it will flower
Mine are still not very big but they are alive and well. Apologies for the very late reply, I'm just returning to making videos after a long hiatus. I hope to make a video update on my dragon fruit after I transplant them to bigger containers this summer.
I'm sure your plants are a lot bigger by now but as lynarystic says below, it takes a while for them to grow from seed. Please be patient and happy growing!
I saw a piece of plant stuck on the fruit, it was horizontaly sitting on the top of the fruit, so I cut a piece of the fruit not to damage that part and planted the yellow part in some good soil , please tell me it is going work, I can't easily find yellow ones where I live thanks
That is great! I believe that it should root and continue to grow. Please do let me know what happens!
I like the intro
Thank you very much! I don't often get too much praise on it so I'm very glad to see your comment.
Also, sorry for the very late reply, I'm just getting back to making new videos after a long hiatus.
Would love to try it soon. Tq for sharing.
Sorry for the delayed reply but I hope you did try it! Please do let me know if it worked for you too :-) Happy growing, good luck!
Informqtive , and one of best on this plant #dragonfruit from #india
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it! Sorry for the late response, I'm just getting back into making videos after a long hiatus.
@@ConscientiousOmnivore dude all the best ,
try your best
🌼🕉️ parwat namah
peace..
@@ankitkutiyal Thank you so much!
Ya know, mother does not take the nutrients away from the seeds when the plant drops it's fruit. Try planting the whole slice. See what happens.
I will perhaps try that in the future but it's my understanding that you may face mold issues.
I wondered if that would work! It worked when I stuck a rotting tomato in a pot. 🤔
Actually, most of the time, the purpose of the flesh of the fruit is typically to promote spreading the seed by animals (or humans). The mother already prepared all the food and energy the seed needs withing the seed itself.
Some good advice is to compost the skin/peel.
Absolutely, we compost all our kitchen scraps! I even have a video showing how wonderful the soil is that results from the composting ua-cam.com/video/CbQbLSWsCGk/v-deo.html
HI! After whatching your video I started to consider growing one too so I have a question about the sand. What kind of sand should I use and is it possible to grow in normal soil without sand? If you explained or already did say what sand etc. then sorry.
Well drained soil... So sand works or loose soil.
Correct, it seems that most well draining soil should work just fine.
The yellow one usually tastes best.
Cool, I'll have to try them at some point. Do you grow any of these Chris? Mine are growing nicely (but very slowly I might add).
Best method put them in a siv under your tap and mush then through sooo much faster
Seems like a good idea too but honestly, it was pretty easy to separate the seeds using the paper towel too.
When they sprout green take covers off. They want it dryer now brother man. The extra moister is causing the mold 🤙
Wow I watch this video and I try mine I hope I can make it to grow
Awesome, I'm so happy to hear that! Please do let me know how they come along for you. Happy growing!
Sandy mix is not necessary! In the caribbean we grow them even in hard clay or regular lawn soil, just drop your seeds, this soil mix myth is getting rediculous now.
Very cool, thanks for the information. They all seem to be growing nicely now and I'll try doing regular update videos in the future. I'll probably experiment with different soils when it comes time to repot them.
I got two stems and I planted them and now waiting for its growth tell me if I give them much water or less ? and what kind of fertilizer is best for them I watch frequently your videos and these are very good and informative I am your fan
Thank you very much! I water these pretty infrequently - about once a week seems to work fine. They will start shriveling up a bit if they are drying out. I don't usually wait for that to happen before watering, it's just something that I've noticed.
It's my understanding that these don't require much n the way of fertilizers but I've seen some people use liquid fertilizers. I'll do an update on my plants in the spring and will likely plant them out into individual containers. I'll probably experiment with adding some into a less sandy soil to see if they'll grow faster with a higher nutrient soil.
Good luck with your plants and thank you for watching my channel, I greatly appreciate it!
What tip of soil does it have to be does it matter or does it have to be Pacific
It's my understanding that you just need to make sure the plant doesn't get water logged. Just about any soil should be OK but it's probably easiest to have a bit of a sandy mix.
I just did this but with the yellow dragon fruit. While the flesh is sweet ( which are in a big clear 8:18 bag around each one, my red dragon fruit seeds don’t have this bag) but the seeds are tart like the kiwi. It was the best dragon fruit I’ve ever had. I’m trying different methods to grow these since the first time I did it from fresh fruit it has taken months for the seeds to germinate and start growing. They are now 4 months approximately and maybe a quarter of an inch big. They should be bigger. Do you know why it’s taking them so long? And why do the yellow dragon fruit seeds have a clear bag of liquid around the seeds? Will that make a difference in growing them? I’m glad i found your video. Ty for any help you can give me.
Hi Caroline, thank you for watching! Unfortunately, I don't know the answer to your question regarding the differences in seeds. Based on my experience with my own plants, I'd say that it's normal for them to grow slowly.
I'll be doing an update video on them later this summer when I transplant them into bigger containers. They've grown significantly but are still nowhere near big enough to be producing fruit. This is a long haul experiment it seems 🙂
If you don’t have Sandy soil can you use coffee grounds in the soil that you have
Hmm really?
Cool, thanks for the advice! Do you know if the alkalinity/acidity is effected?
Will dirt from the ground work?? And you keep them watered? And in the sun right?
Sorry for the late reply, I hope that didn't stop you from trying to grown them yourself. It's my understanding that different types of soil should all work fine as long as it's well draining. Good luck!
I noticed the Hungarian writing on the plastic cups. Are you growing these in Hungary?
Igen :-) Yes I am.
@@ConscientiousOmnivore Doing the same thing here in Toronto. Kösz szépen. Tetszett a videód!
@@Cattaneopapa Tök jó! Sok sikert kívánok hozzá! Ha szeretnéd látni hogy néznek ki egy kicsivel több mint egy ével később, itt meg tudod tekinteni ua-cam.com/video/J8z9OnWEpwo/v-deo.html
My family likes to eat dragon fruit. Let me start a project to grow some, hopefully. Question: Why you have to dry the seeds before planting them? I saw the same action by others for growing from seed. Thanks for the nice video.
They will mold
@@Natthenaturalist I believe that you are correct. It's the same reason people dry tomato seeds too (and obviously for storing purposes). It also mimics what nature would do them between seasons.
@Steven Tang That is great that you want to grow them! Please let me know how they come along for you. My plants are still growing pretty slowly but will hopefully pick up when I get them outside in the spring. I'll make sure to do an update video about them.
Good luck and happy growing!
I never dried mine and they are doing great so far🤷. It's a fun experiment. Have fun trying different ways.
Whats the lowes temp ? To grow . In fahrenitn
Sorry for the late reply. It's my understanding that they cannot tolerate freezing temperatures (so anything 32F or lower) but they really like being over 60F. This means either growing them indoors in containers or in growing zones which never see really cold temperatures.
Cute babies
Thanks, they are really cute. You can see them after about a year's worth of growth (linked in the pinned comment). They're still pretty small and cute but have grown quite a bit compared to what you see here.
Hey! I have few questions, I got a grow grass kit from cvs but then it turns out it had no seeds it only had pot and soil so I’m finding stuff to grow in it, I wonder , if I get Dragon fruit seeds and bury it in the pot will it grow? Or is it too small or do I have to put it in wet moist paper towels to make it have roots and then I bury it?
Sorry for the delayed reply, hope you gave it a try one way or the other! I think either method would work fine but if planting into the soil directly, you simple need to water carefully to ensure you are not washing the seeds out.
If you've started the process, I'd love to hear how it's going for you. Please do let me know!
Do i have to water that daily or after some day
I water them pretty rarely - usually about 3-4 days. As long as their soil drains properly though, they should be OK. Just keep an eye on them and make sure they don't start to get root rot.
Once the seeds start to grow does it grow fruit? Can you it the fruit that it grows? Thank you
It's my understanding that yes, it will eventually produce edible fruit. That's certainly what I'm trying to achieve and will keep doing updates on them as they continue to grow.
You can find the latest update (1+ year later) here ua-cam.com/video/J8z9OnWEpwo/v-deo.html
Fill blender with water and some peaces.. All seeds come out.. Also do it slow and not to much
Cool, I've seen people do that trick with blueberry seeds but for these, it was actually quite easy to get the seeds out with the paper towel. Are you growing these from seed too?
@@ConscientiousOmnivore nah I have my,plant all,grow up
PLEASE ANSWER will they survive in cold lands ?? Like 12 degrees
Do you mean 12 Celsius? If that is your coldest winter temperature, then yes, they should be able to survive that. However, if you meant Fahrenheit, definitely not. They are a tropical plant and need warm temperatures to grow well.
Unfortunately, in my area, I need to keep them indoors pretty much at all times except for summer. Even though the temperatures are quite high now, I'm still keeping them indoors because it's easier for me to control their watering levels this way.
So….. no paper towels, use wax paper. Don’t leave covered once sprouted, and don’t use sandy soil, they aren’t like most cactus, and like water!
Thanks, I will try using different soil mixes when I plant them out to bigger containers later this summer.
Wooow yuuuuu maaaad tiiiis beautiful 😍 ❤
Thank you!
what kind of soil do u have to use?
Hi Rebina. I had used a very sandy soil because it was my understanding that it was best for the dragon fruit. However, several people have commented to let me know that you can use just about any soil so long as it's well draining. I recently planted one of the little guys into its own container because I'm going to give it away as a gift. I used regular potting mix and it seems to be doing fine. I only water it very occasionally.
My mom don't like dragon fruit but she like cactus
Seems like a great match :-) She can grow the plant and give away the fruit.
just plant the slices like you would a tomato, much easier.
Thanks for the info!
any update on these dragon fruit plants?
They're a little over a year old now and still growing nicely. I'll try and put up a new video in the next couple of days so you can see them. Are you growing them too?
@@ConscientiousOmnivore After watching your video, I started on mine 10 days ago. They are still itty bitty ones. Seems like they are growing slower than ones from a couple of videos I've seen. Thanks for the reply
@@DhammaTravelVlog That's awesome, really happy to hear it! Don't worry, mine are growing really slowly too. They seem to be getting fatter and producing side growth instead of shooting straight up.
I hope they'll do better when I get them outdoors for the summer. We are still getting temperatures below freezing on some nights so I don't want to risk bringing them outdoors just yet.
The update video is finally up. You can find it here ua-cam.com/video/J8z9OnWEpwo/v-deo.html
Would this work with frozen dragon fruit too?
I honestly don't know since I've never tried but I imagine it would. I seem to remember seeing people do that with frozen blueberry seeds for example.
Please let me know if you try it and if it works! Good luck and happy growing!
@@ConscientiousOmnivore i plan to try it so i can see if I can with a red dragon fruit! I'll let you know!
What weather is best to grow dragon fruit?
They need warm temperatures and cannot tolerate freezing temperatures at all.
Well
Thank you for watching!
hey i wanna order dragon fruit seeds on amazon would they work?
I'm pretty sure they would be fine, these seeds seem to be quite sturdy and I'm sure would handle being shipped without issue. It may be easier to find a fruit at a nearby supermarket though and then you can enjoy the benefit of eating it too. Good luck with growing it!
The red dragonfruits are much sweeter than the white ones. White dragonfruits taste sweet but a little sour much better on salads. We have dragon fruit farm here so no problem with fresh dragon fruits only PHP 170.00 per kilo. But last last week i tried to grow them from seeds and a soak them on water then strained them. Put the seeds on surface of the soil then thats it, now i have little dragonfruit seedlings.
That is fantastic! Happy growing and good luck!
How long it will take to be a big and get froot
The past couple of months, they've really put on some nice growth (which I hope to show you in an upcoming video soon). However, they are still only about 5-6 inches in length. It's my understanding that it will take several years (~5) before they will produce fruit.
Please subscribe and I'll do updates on them as time progresses.
Do i have to use sand because i cant find any around me *(
Hi Kevin. No, several people have said they will grow fine in just about any kind of soil but you simply need to make sure it is well draining.
@@ConscientiousOmnivore ooo Thank you
Can we take only black soil
Several people have commented to let me know that any soil should work fine but you simply need to make sure it is well draining.
How many seeds shall you start in one pot?
They seem to germinate at high rates, so I don't think it's necessary to put too many in one pot (maybe 10-15 is enough). You can then transplant them but they are very little to start.
It's been a year so how is your plans now??🌸🌸🌸
Sorry for the late reply, I'm just getting back to making new videos after a long hiatus. I'll be posting an update video later this summer when I transplant them into bigger containers. They are alive and well and have grown significantly.
İf i grow dragon fruit from seeds can i get the same fruit? And Maybe can not it give fruit?
It's my understanding that the plants will still fruit. They are not genetic clones of the parent plant when grown from seed - only growing from cuttings will ensure they are exactly the same. However, it's my understanding that it shouldn't be a problem at all and the fruit will be viable.
I will keep doing periodic updates on them as they continue to grow. Make sure to check my one year update video (pinned as the top comment) and subscribe if you'd like to see what they look like now. I'll be doing a new video in the coming weeks about them when I transplant them. They are much bigger now and growing faster.
Can I plant the seeds on normal sand
I used a very sandy soil from our property to grow these but it's my understanding that just about anything will work as long as the drainage is good. If you are trying this, it may be a good idea to try a few different growing mediums and see which one works best for you. Good luck, happy growing!
@@ConscientiousOmnivore Thank you
Any follow up video?
Hi! I don't have a standalone video about them just yet (they haven't grown too much larger yet) but you can see them from not too long ago here ua-cam.com/video/wx1LUVSbcJ8/v-deo.html
I'm sure they'll grow a lot more when I put them outside in the spring (at least I hope so anyway). In either case, I'll make an update video about them then.
You can see them in my latest video here ua-cam.com/video/J8z9OnWEpwo/v-deo.html
Has anyone managed to grow the fruit in the uk
I don't know but would imagine they would need protection inside of a greenhouse or walipini at the least. Or growing inside would be good. Are you growing some too?
👌👌👌👌
Thank you!
Hey your doing good but don’t water them too much or they will die. Dragon fruit only need to be watered twice a week.
I'm so sorry for the slow reply (and no update video yet). I've been extremely busy but am starting to make videos again. My dragonfruit plants are still alive and kicking but I really need to transplant to a bigger container. I hope to do so in the coming weeks.
Sir how many days to germination
In my case, it was quite quick. After about 6 days, they were already sprouted.
update video?
Sorry for the very late reply. I'm just returning from a long hiatus but wanted to let you know the plants are doing well. I will be planting them into bigger containers soon and will provide a video update.
Have you tried growing them as well?
The yellow color dragon fruit is meant to be eaten in Japan because Japanese people like it more than the normal dragon fruit
I've never heard of this distinction before.
How does a fruit taste mild
By mild, I simply mean that it is neither very sweet, nor very sour. I suppose in a negative connotation, someone may say it's bland but that word to me is unappetizing. If I say mild, I think it implies that it's still tasty but not a strong flavor.
Man you cut it with a knife and I peel mine like a banana.
That never occurred to me but I will certainly try it the next time I eat one! Thanks!
I was thinking about using parchment paper... Instead
One of the other commenters says that would work too. I'm sorry for the very late reply, I hope you have tried growing these for yourself since!
I'm just returning to making new videos again after a long hiatus. I hope to have a video update on these plants later this summer when I transplant them to bigger containers.

Glad to hear that you are growing them. Mine are growing extremely slowly, it's possible that yours are doing the same. If you'd like to see my progress after one year, you can watch the video that I've pinned as the top comment. They are definitely bigger but still quite small.

I HV purple
Nice! Are you growing them too?
Do you only need one seed ?
They seem to have a high germination rate but I would certainly recommend trying multiple seeds in case they either die or don't germinate.
why does mine doesnt look like a cactus. It has leaves and all.
You grew it from the seeds of a dragon fruit?
@@ConscientiousOmnivore hi. my comment was way way back. turns out its a weed 💀💀💀
@@Louie.Oxford Sorry to hear that but hope you can try again!
update pliiiiiiiiis
I will be doing a video update on them when I put them outside in the spring. They have grown a little bit since the video but they are still quite small. Several have now started branching out and the tallest one is about 2 inches (5 cm) tall.
Are you growing them as well?
You can see what they look like in my latest video here ua-cam.com/video/J8z9OnWEpwo/v-deo.html
i grew them underwater
Do you mean in a hydroponic type setup? Or are you talking about the germination process?
@@ConscientiousOmnivore like from germination to cactus completely submerged

Somebody hybrid dragon fruit with blueberry to get a blueberry dragonfruit
That would be an interesting combination for sure.
No one describes the lighting when starting out from seed!🤔
I didn't use any artificial lighting, simply kept them on a window sill.
