This is such a useful video , I am sitting in my garage watching your video and preparing cuttings from a long piece someone gave me on the weekend I have 14 cuttings and will refer back to your video. Good on you for sharing your knowledge.
yeah I had recorded a clip of this plant just after a year that I plant it, showing that it fruit just after 1 year, but I fine where I file the clip to upload it to youtube
Thank you for all the info. I recently started growing dragon fruit in Hawaii and had a few questions I was not finding answers for, but you answered them.
I don't need a knife to take the extra little ones off,I just take my finger bend them. The little ones break and I just remove them..😃 Beautiful healthy looking plants.☺I use rabbit manuer to fertilize my plants..Great video!! Thank you for sharing.🤗
If you plant in pot, after 5 -6 years you need to cut the old manure and plant in new pot, as over times roots will over grow, anh you fine the is no soil.
Hi, Yes I am in Australia, about the flowers not sure, we really have to wait till end of December to find out, I'll give an update on this baby as it's only one year old, the chance it will have fruit is 80%, I'll have update on other one that I have, and Thank You
Is there any way for dragon fruits to bears many fruit. Do you have any suggestions? I would like to know, I have dragon fruit cuttings here and they say it bears fruit after maturity stage or in 3 years after...
Hi, as seeds take a long time to get fruit, so I want to germinate it from seeds until it get mature plant and then I want to take cuttings from it, so when can I decide to take cuttings from the plant which is grown from seeds??? I live in Egypt 42 c in summer, 25 in winter
Nice! I'm going to have some of them, I just had around 10 sprouts today.. Wish me luck..9-14-17 and did it in 5 days......ask me how if you would like.
Hi. I did have a clip of the update just after 1 year it fruit. I gave the plant just after I flim it. But I can't remember where I save it. I will try my best to post it
How cold can dragon fruits take it ? Do they ever need to be covered ? Is horse manure a good fertilizer for Dragon Fruit ? I use horse manure for all my plants and they thrive. But I'm not as familiar with these plants and what fertilizers to use. Or if they like alkaline or acidic soil. I assume alkaline.
Oh yes, the baby have flower, I'll give an update in another couple of day, I recorded it 2 weeks ago and I gave it to a friend the next day, so I don't have it now,
CLB Cổ Nhạc Vọng Cố Hương thanks chị, I just start planting my cuttings. I live in northern part of Florida and it's been raining alot here, will that affect my cuttings from rooting? And how long after the cuttings are planted in the soil before they starts rooting?
Hi. I live in Aus in Sydney. I thinking rain is ok, the only time they don't like rain is when it fruiting season . well for it to start root here is only about 2 to 3 weeks .
My dragon plants turn into thick yellow color and stem become very soft it damages entire plant. How it reduced and which fertilizers are used for this plant
When you get those little growths, how long does it take for them to get bigger? I've been seeing and reading up on this for a while now and everyone says when your dragon fruit cutting gets a root system established and starts growing new branches the new branches can grow an inch or an inch and a half a day. I have a couple of cuttings that started growing a new branch about a month ago and up untile now the new growth is an inch long. Its growing very very slow. Am i doing something wrong or is this normal for now?
Hi. It really is normal. As it depends on where you live . As each part the weather is not the same . As for me if 4 new growth starts to grow on 1 older one. I just cut 2 and leave 2 . That way the 2 left grow faster.
Are all species self pollinating? They only have white ones at the nursery here, I want to buy just one but they don't even know if they are self pollinating variety or not :L
Not all species/varieties are self-pollinating. I bought a few from Cal Poly Pomona Nursery and their website has a lot of varieties for sale (though shipped only to California addresses), but that website has info on whether a particular variety is self-pollinating or not.
hi i have a few questions?! how big/size are the pots you are planting? what is type of soil mix do you use and prefer to use? i have a monster size one grow in a huge pot and i need to cut some of the legs off and plant them into a new pot. my huge one is like 2 or maybe 3 years old. what type of dragon fruit do you have like color of fruit inside it and are they self pollination or cross or hand? mine i have 5 types/color of mine. the biggest one is a white hand pollination one. my second white is a self pollination. my third is a redgish self pollination, my forth is a self pollination reddish/purplish color and finally my firth is a pinkish/purplish color that is cross or hand pollination, i think cross lol. one last thing, in Australia do you have different kinds of dragon fruit that have names of the plant, so you know which kind you want to buy so you dont keep buying the same one if you didnt like that kind? in florida usa we do. this is the company in my state that sells all different kinds of dragon fruit to all over my state/other states and lots of different countries. google pine island nursery if you want to see like 30 different kinds.color of dragon fruit or tons of different kind of tropic fruit plants thanks
volker11 - Hi, I normally plant them in the ground, but this one was plant in the pot as I don't have anymore space, and with this one is more to make video clip to show other how I plant my dragon fruit, and to see it it will fruit in 1 year or not. with the soil I use garden mix and with cow compost, other people like to use mushroom they work well. if you have a 2 or 3 years it is time to cut and plant in new pot, I find that growing them in pot after 3 years they don't have much fruit and they don't have new growth as much. with all my plant when there is 3 to 4 new growth I just rid of them just leaving 1 new growth per plant. so it be nice and neat. and growing in pot after about 2 years they don't have any soil left in there. the type of dragon fruit I have, truly I dont really know, I have about 3 only but after planting them in the same ground same frame there kind of like cross pollinated so there is 2 other type. with the name I really don't know, as we had friend gave them to us in the first time, then down the years we just collect from other friend. In Australia there is nursery that sell them and they do have name, but must of us here living in Sydney they just go to friend that have dragon fruit and ask for a cutting. :) . which the cutting is about 70cm long. they will grow faster then the on in nursery only have cutting about 15 - 20cm. and all my dragon fruit is self pollinated.
Hayden Hayden I think you need atleast 2 different plants and transfer pollen from 1 plants flower to another (assuming it's inside or there are no bes, bats, or other insects in your area to pollinate it (them)
i was looking for one answer but didn't came .... , i think yes , this is cactus country , i am at southern of Madagasscar , practically the same climate as in some Ausy regions , very dry and mostly very hot
Hi. I never try from growing seed before. But u have seen it on other UA-cam videos that's other have done it. But never seen an update on it. So not sure how much it would grow
i have seen a few ones , with different stadiums grow'n but no one ho get fruits or flowers even , so yes i wonder also if grown by seeds can harvest de Fruits to , have pretty evening dear CLB
Hi, with the plant thats in the video clip here, just after 1 year from planting it did had fruit and i did had made a recording but I can't find where I store it, so it been few year I have not upload the update
Mari443Garrett1 : Hi, well I am not sure in other area, but where I live is 1 year, the video clip above is the plant that is fruit just after 1 year, I'll give an update later, but I gave that pot to a friend, they said it has a total 11 dragon fruits
I'm in Brisbane, planted one in the garden had no attention has just been growing un-attended up a lattice fence have got 3 fruits this year, I've taken over from my wife cleared around it found 2 more have self planted and starting to grow, rom research on youtube they seem easy enough, red fruit is nice, white/yellow even better, give them ago
I want to build one . Because they don't sell any dragon fruit in the stores where I live . But they use to in the 1980's . I have such a small yard with no soil to grow any thing . I need to get a big pot and some wood . We have a Asian store that sell good mango fruit . The American store Mango fruit never gets ripe . it always turn bad and stays green . But not the Asian mango fruit store fruit mango's .
I am not surprised how this is just a showcase video and not really a tips and teaching video. No info on fertilizer, watering ,temperature. Even questions aboutvbasic info has been left unanswered. I have noticed a lot many dragon fruit growers just keep back the real info
Hi, thank you for your comment, this video is just updated from the video 1 year from this clip. I made another clip 3months from that showing it has fruits ,but i didn't upload as i list the clip. As I'm not a dragons fruit farmer, I m just growing as a hobby, but on other video that I made. I have show and try to answer, as much about how I grow, watering, fertilisering and about the weather, but I can only tell people how I grow to where I live. As a hobby there is really nothing to hide. Sharing the experience, others happy , Cheers

Is it white flash dragon plant ?
This one is white, I tried to grow yellow but it die.
Do you remove the old manure when you give more manure next feeding because the pot is full to the top?
If you plant in pot, after 5 -6 years you need to cut the old manure and plant in new pot, as over times roots will over grow, anh you fine the is no soil.
Great video. Very informative

+CLB Cổ Nhạc Vọng Cố Hương look at my video
My dragon fruit tree is 3 years old and no fruits at all.what should i do?
Some cactus look like dragon fruit but aren't, they are just ornamental and only give flowers.
Also look at the thread where it say, it may need another variety to cross-pollinate. Also try hand-pollinating
hi i have a few questions?! how big/size are the pots you are planting? what is type of soil mix do you use and prefer to use? i have a monster size one grow in a huge pot and i need to cut some of the legs off and plant them into a new pot. my huge one is like 2 or maybe 3 years old. what type of dragon fruit do you have like color of fruit inside it and are they self pollination or cross or hand?

one last thing, in Australia do you have different kinds of dragon fruit that have names of the plant, so you know which kind you want to buy so you dont keep buying the same one if you didnt like that kind? in florida usa we do. this is the company in my state that sells all different kinds of dragon fruit to all over my state/other states and lots of different countries. google pine island nursery if you want to see like 30 different kinds.color of dragon fruit or tons of different kind of tropic fruit plants

Mine flowered but won't fruit, is there a something I am not doing?
yes
***** You may need two types of Dragon fruit plants because some are not self pollinated. That's why I use 3 types
Hayden Hayden I think you need atleast 2 different plants and transfer pollen from 1 plants flower to another (assuming it's inside or there are no bes, bats, or other insects in your area to pollinate it (them)
MrHollywoodCoe chill

Hi Chi
What kind is compost should I use for the dragon fruit plant?
Is it cow compost?
Thanks chi !
Cow compost is really fine, that's what I use
How many years does it take from the time you plant it for a dragon fruit to start bearing fruit?
Mari443Garrett1 : Hi, well I am not sure in other area, but where I live is 1 year, the video clip above is the plant that is fruit just after 1 year, I'll give an update later, but I gave that pot to a friend, they said it has a total 11 dragon fruits
Mine never grow like that.
It need lots of sun, they don't need lots of water,
Im in brissy! I wanna try
I'm in Brisbane, planted one in the garden had no attention has just been growing un-attended up a lattice fence have got 3 fruits this year, I've taken over from my wife cleared around it found 2 more have self planted and starting to grow, rom research on youtube they seem easy enough, red fruit is nice, white/yellow even better, give them ago
it would be better if you till the compose in with the soil instead of just leaving it on top.
Mine are all diseased :( I will grow in pots if i can get more
..not yet giving fruit?..
I want to build one . Because they don't sell any dragon fruit in the stores where I live . But they use to in the 1980's . I have such a small yard with no soil to grow any thing . I need to get a big pot and some wood . We have a Asian store that sell good mango fruit . The American store Mango fruit never gets ripe . it always turn bad and stays green . But not the Asian mango fruit store fruit mango's .
I would like to build the trellis. Better than other things I see around.
