I can't tell you how much I appreciate the effort that went into this video! The time spent and the patience and editing, to give us the full run. I also appreciate your honesty and your willingness to say, "that was wrong, don't do that, do this". The best is when it works and you talk through a smile. It makes me excited to try! Thanks from the Northern Hemi! 😉
My. Goodness. Your videos are fantastic. Always stunned by how much I enjoy them. At first I was like, "a 40 minute video on dragon fruit? Eh. I'll probably never grow dragon fruit, but it's a Hoocho video so it should still be cool." And I was right. It delivered on the enjoyment. The dragon fruit meal on the tree stump with the dogs and your gardens in the background was the cherry on time. The word "Serenity" comes to mind. Thank you.
Hii Hoocho , In India , instead of pvc pipe cement or concert poles are used to support the plants . On the cement pole the plant roots gets more good grip . And talking about the video it is best and informative .
That laugh at 36:20 is why we hydroponic. Such a great feeling of accomplishment after a big hydroponic project is successful. This has been a fun ride for the past year and a half. Great work!
Not only I like this fruit a lot but it was stunning to see it growing! And both the plant and the flowers are beautiful. Not something I can grow in my area unfortunatly. Thank you for sharing!
Just found you on UA-cam a few days ago, I love gardening and growing vegetables and fruits for my family, but I have never tried hydroponics. So, as you recommend, I started Googling to learn more, and your videos kept popping up! Man, you do an amazing job with your videos! They are incredibly informative and you have such a methodical approach. You have a soothing demeanor and just enough humor to balance out your technical advice. I have already learned so much from your videos, including seeing your mistakes or changes you would recommend to the process. Likely saved me years of trial and error! Didn’t mean to write you a book, lol, but I just was so impressed I felt like reaching out to let you know you have another huge fan! Thank You! Wayne J Sheridan, TX, USA
Enjoyed the video and liked the ruse when you cut the fruit open on the surface where you had put an axe. I thought: 'Oh! Oh! He needs an axe to cut it open. That must be why it's called a Dragon Fruit?' Brilliant video.
Have you thought about saving the pollen from your flowers so you can pollinate the flowers of your fruit anytime they bloom, pollen can last for ages in the fridge and coming onto 2 years in the freezer. Ive only just started my dragonfruit journey but have done this with other flowers. Very informative vid, many thanks.
My first taste of dragon fruit came in 1996 on a trip to Vietnam. I was extremely impressed. And I am very impressed with the work and effort you've put into this project. I have tasted the yellow variety, and I have found that to be superior.
so ive been looking at methods of how i want to plant my own dragon fruit and in the search i came across your video . i love the trellising system you made and i dont thing the pvc was a bad choice .i came across another video with the same problem , the way he solved it was by adding medium inside the pvc all the way ,and drilling holes all along the sides to the top . the roots found their way into the holes on the pvs and it gave his plants additional root mass all inside of the post .i think i have to combine both of your methods to make a system for myself so thank you for making your content , its much appreciated .
Really ? Interesting… I’ll have to try it too😊 my preference has been yellow fruits and I’ve only known them to have white flesh. They have a strong flavor of melon. Thanks for the idea 😊
Nice! A New Zealand expert grows his on supports with hessian sacking, so the roots can dig into that. He then waters the hessian sack so the roots can feed and dribble down to the pot below.
You could drill a few small holes into the pvc to let the plant roots into grip it better, but it’s probably not necessary. I hand pollinate at night when the flower opens as we lack good pollinators in my location. Works most of the time. I personally prefer the set the pot on a post or stump and forget all about the trellis it works great and they fruit sooner, but will probably never achieve the sheer mass of vertical trellis plants, which is fine by me.
Sem dúvida o melhor vídeo sobre cultivo hidropônico de Dragonfruit ("Pitaya" no Brasil). Obrigado pela paciência, dedicação e por compartilhar conhecimento!
I have some dragonfruit tea, and it is so wonderful, kiwi, coconut...a touches of other tastes that are just dragonfruit! I'm so glad you've been making this video all along, I kept seeing the dragonfruit whenever you made other videos and wanted a more in depth video, this is so perfect!!
If you are keen to grow more dragon fruit make sure you try the red ones they tend to have more flavour, yellow are somewhere in between red and white.
Awesome video! How do you feel about putting growing media inside the pvc post which also get a watering, and drilling holes so that the aerial roots can go inside the structure for more nutrients?
Did you ever try this? Seems like a great idea. I was thinking his design could stay exactly the same, still using the PVC, and the drilled holes would provide an achor for roots PLUS get extra nutrient intake from the interior of the pipe being watered from above. All the roots would then be uptaking water. The only thing I would be concerned with is mold growing inside the vertical pipes or perhaps root rot? The moist dark environment inside the pipe (with sunlight coming in through the holes) might trigger mold growth. Interesting thoughts to consider. I can’t wait to duplicate what Hoocho has done here and hopefully replicate his success!
Excellent! I can say I have seen the slow growth of your dragonfruit. I watched from the beginning to now. I can say I prefer the time-lapse. I'm glad you had your dad come try some. Great work and thanks for sharing the fruits of your labor with us!
I've been binge watching your videos, and I've definitely been inspired to try something soon. However, I have to comment on how well I've noticed your gym work is paying off. Congratulations, you're a great example of wholesomeness and well-being. ✨️
You can screw lengths of wood into the PVC, so the roots can take hold of that. You can use either screws or bolts(if you want to go straight through the PVC and have wood on either side, and not worry about the weight of the plants(from the video, I don’t think that is a concern…but you can confirm).
I live on Darwin, Australia. Love, loved your video. I like the pvc poles as centre support, made it easier to attach the wooden crown. Would untreated hard wood work for top. My plant is planted in the ground, growing up a star picket growing over a pergola. It must be nearly 2 yrs old now. Had one fruit but fell off. I'm interested in the NPK of your hydroponic treatment you are using. Wonder if available in Australia. Is it specific for cactus or a general mix. There are lots of videos on UA-cam on how to hand fertilize the dragonfruit. Looking forward to more videos. Will definitely check out your other ones.
It’s worth checking what treated pine you can source if it’s a concern. ACQ is a copper based material and has no arsenic. You can get both types in Australia.
Congratulations Mitch! Epic effort vidya, what an exercise in delayed gratification, amazing to see the whole process, the fruit sounds amazing, thanks man!
Hi Hoocho. What size pot did you use. Do you have a link to the pots you are using for the dragon fruits. Thanks a lot. You should have got some red fleshed varieties as well, as they have a beautiful mildly sweet flavour and the kids love it. They grow well at our place, just throw a pile cuttings on the ground and they will take off by themselves with no watering at all.
Wait....roots? Roots look for nutrients. The way they look, hugging the 2x4, is the way they would dig into tree bark. I wonder if wrapping those roots in coco coir and moistening them with solution would be beneficial? The nutrient travelling path would be less than from the base. I wonder if periodic root expression is a survival mechanism in case they lose connection to their base root. In that case, wood is essential, not just for just support. BTW interesting to see you with your Dad. You've each got your own look. And that plant could be a metaphor for a patient Dad supporting his boy until he becomes rooted and flowers making fresh fruit. Great vid!
Excellent points about google searches are crap as sites use SEO to get to the top, where they push generic/wrongish info and are a honey pot of sponsored links.
The result is spectacular and the growth pace unparalleled, comparing to other cacti and even some vegetables. Have you ever considered planting dragonfruits next to the trees? That would be so cool to enhance the entire woods with cacti shoots growing on the trees.
A friend where I live has her dragonfruit planted near a huge tree. It fruits prolifically, I have some cuttings Planted one in the ground about 2 years old not fruiting atm.
Certainly the ultimate hydroponic dragonfruit video! Since it was mentioned in that video you researched, have you considered doing hydroponic vanilla? Really keen on trying it myself, but I would need a greenhouse.
Sic video mate, getting to watch the whole process from cutting to fruit was amazing dedication to the art of growing food! How long do you think the non-treated pine will last and what would you do if they start to rot and not be able to support the plant anymore? Do you think Hardwood would be a better choice?
Hey new around here, dedication is strong with you. Wondering - If you're going to push it for cutting, and flowering, it seems to have a roughly specific around all the varieties, 45-55 degree angle that it seems to sense is flower/fruiting time... Cut them 5' high and let the crowns be the flower? Could that have shaved off X months of growing?
awesome job, I would love to have seen a comparison to fruit grown in the ground or some other normal way, and I hate to be the one to bring up money but what do you think it cost to bring that much fruit to bare?
THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO. Hi to pops. Let it grow we wan to see this in future in sha Allah. What about the watering because the system design was not to top water ? Thanks again.
Как хорошо когда есть Яндекс Браузер у которого есть перевод ЮТУБа. Причем перевод как женскими так и мужскими голосами и несколькими голосами одновременно. Это позволяет смотреть ролики на многих языках.
I have an idea @Hoocho. What about drill lots of 4mm holes in the PVC for the roots to poke through, and putting a micromister at the centre of each PVC tube top. You could have an aeroponic quality added to your set up
A long time grower in Oceanside California has switched over to pots of sand. Says it gives him the best crop with the least work. He tried to use media mixed with sand and finally determine plain sand was the best. Also makes the pots drown-proof. I don't think he thought of it as hydroponics but it seems the same in principle.
Great video and I am now planning my own dragon fruit plantings. A query though, as you have described your top watering/nutrient feeding in the video. What is the need or purpose in having the pvc down pipe under the plantings? Is there still a need for some wicking or was this just part of your initial experimenting when starting out?
Hey mate, just a thought I had when you’d mentioned the PVC pipe and the roots not attaching. I wonder if it would be worth designing a 3D printable sleeve that you can slip over the outside of your PVC pipe with a grippy pattern or holes in it so that the roots can grip that. Just thinking for those that already have started this project using PVC pipe or have a bunch of pipe sitting around. It’d almost be a variant of your moss pole design.
Great video, not sure I have the heat in the uk but will have a bash in a protected spot. Loved that you involved your dad too, cracking chap for getting involved and trying something he’d not had before. Please keep hydroponicing. As I’m new, I’d appreciate a video on spotting signs things are not going right and how to fix it. I’m sure it’s nutrients though I’ve copied your numbers my toms are fine but all cucumbers have yellowed and died. Also info on when to use which media?
No they are not, but you should be able to grow them in a 5 gallon pot one per plant. So you're able to bring it inside to a protected area from frost. And you don't have to go with that tall for the trellis for it to climb on, you can make it much shorter and it will still behave the same.
Rockwool or coco will remain more effective. You can't manipulate VWC to steer the plants in systems like this... the steering makes a huge difference in production
Hey Mitch great video. I’m in Darwin and I’ve been growing DF for about 4 years now with 4 poles and 3 plants on each pole I’ve got 2 pole ful sun and 2 poles partial shade and I find that the poles in full sun produce better. I’m not growing them hydroponically at the moment but I’m about to redo 2 of my poles so I’m thinking I might convert them to hydro in the process I’ve got 90mm pvc poles and I wrapped them with heshan cloth and the DF’s don’t have a issue with the air roots sticking to that… Do you think it’s worth doing the RGG scenario or still go with self watering from above?

you win the internet today with this one. thanks for taking the time to document your grows so well
Hii Hoocho ,
In India , instead of pvc pipe cement or concert poles are used to support the plants . On the cement pole the plant roots gets more good grip . And talking about the video it is best and informative .
I can't imagine the amount of patience necessary to grow this fruit but I'm sure the payoff was worth it, very high effort video!
I thought that after his first bite. I need to try it lol.
what flavor is it? 37:07....
That laugh at 36:20 is why we hydroponic. Such a great feeling of accomplishment after a big hydroponic project is successful. This has been a fun ride for the past year and a half. Great work!
The harvest got me giddy excited! Great content Hoocho, this really is your finest hour. 🙏
That was cool having your dad there. I would love to hear what he thinks about hydroponics and different styles of gardening.
He watches every video and has insisted on multiple systems being built for him hahahah
Not only I like this fruit a lot but it was stunning to see it growing! And both the plant and the flowers are beautiful. Not something I can grow in my area unfortunatly. Thank you for sharing!

I just planted a red dragon fruit plant 2 months ago in a DWC style setup, can't wait to eat some fruits!
Enjoyed the video and liked the ruse when you cut the fruit open on the surface where you had put an axe. I thought: 'Oh! Oh! He needs an axe to cut it open. That must be why it's called a Dragon Fruit?' Brilliant video.
Always good to see a post from this informational channel! Cheers hoocho

You need to get a red or purple fleshed dragonfruit. Way better than white fleshed.
I think I will!
Really ? Interesting… I’ll have to try it too😊 my preference has been yellow fruits and I’ve only known them to have white flesh. They have a strong flavor of melon. Thanks for the idea 😊

Awesome dedication to your videos. Keep it up!
Awesome video! How do you feel about putting growing media inside the pvc post which also get a watering, and drilling holes so that the aerial roots can go inside the structure for more nutrients?
This was actually the original plan, but I pivoted with the addition of the tops due to the posts being down the middle.
Did you ever try this? Seems like a great idea.

Forgot to ask what size pots are you using?
Where did you buy the rubber ties?
Excellent! I can say I have seen the slow growth of your dragonfruit. I watched from the beginning to now. I can say I prefer the time-lapse. I'm glad you had your dad come try some. Great work and thanks for sharing the fruits of your labor with us!
omg, those are gorgeous... I grew mine from seeds from a fruit from the supermarket, but given our climate they will never reach that status ;)
I've been binge watching your videos, and I've definitely been inspired to try something soon. However, I have to comment on how well I've noticed your gym work is paying off. Congratulations, you're a great example of wholesomeness and well-being. ✨️
Good job Hoocho. I'm impressed to see you have succeeded in producing some dragon fruits
YEEEEEEEEEAAAAHHHHH BUDDY!!!!! HERE WE GOOOOOOOO!! The number one! The numero uno! BIG DOG!!
Good video cobba.
🐕
Absolutely beautiful!
My mouth watered watching you eat it at the end! 😎
use sulfuric acid for ph down will give your plants the best flavor
Wow! Fantastic. A year and a half of work for delicious results.🥰
Will you made video about how to make hybrid of dragon fruit plants
Thats SO impressive!! Thanks for sharing
If you had some small holes in the PVC pipes could the roots hold on that way?
Another great video Hoocho. Thanks for the awesome content
Amazing. Well done on this and sharing all your findings!
You have become a professional hydroponic expert..........
Just by glancing at the title & thumbnail of this video, i internally screamed "what a madlad"
Ecuador palora is famous for taste,but the red varieties are famous too instead of white.
Massive dragonfruit and beautiful plants, well done!
how often do you water them ?
You can screw lengths of wood into the PVC, so the roots can take hold of that.
You can use either screws or bolts(if you want to go straight through the PVC and have wood on either side, and not worry about the weight of the plants(from the video, I don’t think that is a concern…but you can confirm).

Awesome vid bud. Watched it a few times now. Would perlite work in place of the scoria?
The scoria adds needed weight, id use something heavier than perlite.
Wait....roots? Roots look for nutrients. The way they look, hugging the 2x4, is the way they would dig into tree bark. I wonder if wrapping those roots in coco coir and moistening them with solution would be beneficial? The nutrient travelling path would be less than from the base.

Maybe i missed it, but what kind of fertilizer do you use? Whats the NPK value?
Hope I could purchase a cutting of the cactus from somewhere...

Can you share the sand setup? I thought sand doesn't hold nutrient / water. So you'll have to mix something into the sand
Love all your ideas. Wondering about your STL Files are they only available thru patreon? Is there another place we can purchase them?
Great video and I am now planning my own dragon fruit plantings.
A query though, as you have described your top watering/nutrient feeding in the video.
What is the need or purpose in having the pvc down pipe under the plantings?
Is there still a need for some wicking or was this just part of your initial experimenting when starting out?

You could drill some holes in the pvc pipe for the roots to use as anchors
Should I start with rooted dragón fruit?
Ever since the first dragonfruit video I've searched everywhere (without success) for scoria in South Africa. What can I use as a replacement?
Any inert rock.
what a great life growing food all day everyday
Can u makea vedio on the trellis in ur graden for dragon fruits
Im assuming cypress square posts would work alright wouldn't they?
Only a year and a half?! Woah! I'm sure the high temperature of your climate contributed to the rapid growth, but that's seriously impressive.
Can dragon fruit grow on a lattice like fence
What are the climatic requirements for dragon fruit? Will they tolerate any frost at all ?
No they are not, but you should be able to grow them in a 5 gallon pot one per plant. So you're able to bring it inside to a protected area from frost. And you don't have to go with that tall for the trellis for it to climb on, you can make it much shorter and it will still behave the same.
wow mate they look awesome
Rockwool or coco will remain more effective. You can't manipulate VWC to steer the plants in systems like this... the steering makes a huge difference in production
Another fantastic video!
Best part of the video was seeing your puppy grow
all right, this channel is awesome
What size of pots did you used?
so epic! thank you hoocho!
ive never tried dragonfruit, but im fascinated by it, always wanted to grow it!
Hey Mitch great video.
I’m in Darwin and I’ve been growing DF for about 4 years now with 4 poles and 3 plants on each pole
I’ve got 2 pole ful sun and 2 poles partial shade and I find that the poles in full sun produce better. I’m not growing them hydroponically at the moment but I’m about to redo 2 of my poles so I’m thinking I might convert them to hydro in the process
I’ve got 90mm pvc poles and I wrapped them with heshan cloth and the DF’s don’t have a issue with the air roots sticking to that…
Do you think it’s worth doing the RGG scenario or still go with self watering from above?
Hi. I'm new to hydroponic gardening. Is this actually hydroponics? It seems you planted them in soil (specifically for cactuses) and watered them. Maybe I'm misinterpreting what hydroponics is?
Thanks for the awesome video though!
Thanks for the video 💜🌵
Did you keep track of the cost of nutrients?
Do you still Changing the water once in the month?
Amazing free content 😮
Look very good indeed 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Bamboo sticks might also be good for the roots to grip onto.
