[@cindyaguilar3754]

I was given a cutting from a friend who didn’t know what kind of dragon fruit it was. After having it in a vase for two years with plenty of roots I started researching and that’s when I ran into your videos. Your videos encouraged me to build a trellis and after two years I got my first buds just a few days ago on August 3rd I’m supper excited to see what happens .

[@norasantos1847]

Thank you Richard. First time I’ve seen your video, very informative & interesting.

[@randomvidztop4]

Watching from the Philippines, I was really very inspired by him that I've been plating dragon fruit since 2020 ..

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

Thank you so much! How are your dragons doing?

[@mattrix2007]

Hi Richard. I just wanted to say a big thank you. your videos have helped me so much. I live in the South of Spain, (we have a similar climate to California), 3rd year plant, umbrella trellis (that i admittedly neglected). Turned into monster and this year had started flowering (for the first time). I have learnt so much in such a short time with your videos. Thank you.

[@gregbuser4690]

Thanks for your channel, I have learned so much from watching it. I'm on the Pacific coast of southern Baja and my Vietnam White produced over 200 flowers in the last two months with no sign of slowing down. I've been getting 15-20 blooms every night.

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

You’re very welcome! Glad you enjoy the channel and that’s Amazon! Best of luck for your dragons

[@Bãraa-m22]

I always watch you you’re so productive thank you you’re always helping me with my two years old tree that i just did the pollination to two flowers opened yesterday ❤

[@crystalkinson4915]

Great video. I just bought a Sugar Dragon,American Beauty because of your videos…You are on a great path with what type of DF you are wanting to create being both self fertile and self pollinating….I also have a yellow variety..it just started flowering but no fruit yet ..it’s about 2 yrs old…Today I bought a Yellow DF fruit from our local flea market along with an unknown red flesh …Yellow came in at 21.2 brix.. it was unbelievable and so delicious and sweet ..Red at 14.6…It really helps having that tool to gauge the sweetness. Thank you again for all your information you share. God bless you and yours family🦋Crystal

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

You’re welcome! Good luck on your dragon fruit journey :)

[@saifunissa199]

Watching from the India i was really very inspired dragon fruit since 2021

[@jakesaen7263]

I’m watching from Fresno I grow my dragon to now I want sugar dragon look so delicious thank you for sharing. 98 is not hot here in Fresno 105-108 . One week was 110-114 my dragon fruits plant turn yellow one pot that I put out straight 8 hrs sun.

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

That’s super hot! Definitely try to get some light shade covering if possible. It may help

[@zounvenajulien7759]

I have bought some of the fruits in local market, in Ghana, the red ones. With your videos shared here I am doing my best to some of the seeds germinate.

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

Good luck with your journey!

[@23dannyt]

Condor is a crazy grower

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

Yes it is!

[@ptrain9020]

My question is what do I do with those branches that are coming down the trellis and they start to curl like a rams horn? Do I prune them off were they curl to force New Growth that will hopefully grow straighter or do I leave them alone?

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

You can try putting some light weights on them

[@jessev1656]

Great video, thanks for the tour 💚🐉

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

Glad you enjoyed it. How’s your dragons doing?

[@jessev1656]

@GraftingDragonFruit there doing great, pumping out fruit! 👊🏽😎🐉

[@BeautifulCreationsByRaven]

I love your channel! ❤ I have a question My purple haze dragon fruit is about to flower. Although my yellow dragon fruit or Vietnamese white aren’t budding yet. 😢 What do you recommend my next step be to obtain another variety of pollen to pollinate my purple haze to ensure a harvest? Do people sell or trade pollen? Lol 😅 maybe I just need more plants?! 🤭🙂

[@antonioa.caquias205]

Try to obtain fresh pollen for a grower.

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

You can try asking in my FB group to see if anyone in your area has any available for sale or give

[@darrelbautista9038]

Awesome ☀️👍🏻

[@Sigmame1]

Excellent, informative too

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

Glad it was helpful! How are your dragons doing?

[@triptkaur974]

I have three plants more than two years old..last year Igot one delicious red fruit..but this year not even a single flower bloom...if its due to some root problem what should I do?

[@captainblackjon]

If only the Wallace Ranch Hybrid was self-fertile/self-pollinating, that would have been a game changer. Good luck with your efforts!

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

Thank you so much! How are your dragon fruits doing?

[@kidmag1000]

Hi I live in Barbados and some dragon fruit and I'm not sure what variety I have. I can tell you the inside is a bright red with black seeds

[@bingwenlu656]

Thank you for this great video - thumbs up! I have a question: does Sugar Dragon self-pollinate? That is, do I need to do pollination for it?

[@bingwenlu656]

Watched your other video (Top 5 varieties); I knew the answer now --- it is self-fertile but not self-pollinate.

[@lucyuraibilong9514]

Thanks for the sharing bro.

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

You’re welcome. How’s your dragons doing?

[@bonita8785]

Once u hand pollinate do u have to cover the flower like w paper bag or plastic or just let it do it own thing ?

[@anthonyaztiptoenailsandspa7259]

Hey Richard, What is the best fertilizer for Dragon Fruit? My Dragon fruit were growing really good, but lately, they started to rotten and falling apart, I have to cut them off and rid them. Can you tell me what happened to them? I am from a very hot Arizona. Thanks

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

Check out my latest video on my current fertilizing routine. You probably got sun damaged because of the high heat

[@ericcalixto8560]

BTW I’m from Riverside California. I’m growing dragon fruit for 2 years now but my plants have no ID. They are red and taste sweet though.

[@b.jasminecedillo7193]

Hi😊 I planted my new cuttings in July and I'm not even sure what type of dragon fruit I have. They were a gift. But the smallest one of all seems to have a sprout growing. I didn't think it was possible, since it hasn't shown any signs of growth in branching out. It's tiny what do I do??😮 I tried posting a picture, not successful.😊

[@marydyall8261]

I enjoyed the tour.

[@bigd1731]

When you decide to get rid of a certain variety, so you sell the cuttings?

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

Sometimes. Just depends on how the plant is

[@hippyrainbow5606]

Love the videos, you've been a big help since I got into the hobby 2 years ago and currently have 9 buds growing on different plants. I have no clue of the varieties, would it be safer to cross pollinate them in general and how long can I save the pollen I collected?

[@AH-yg5dk]

Can I buy a clipping of your sugar dragon? I do not have a local resource and I am very hesitant to just pick someone off the net. Let me know - Love your content and the help you have provided throughout my journey.

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

Thank you so much! I’ll have limited stock on my website soon

[@sodaratieng9507]

Mine dropped! Nothing stay! How often you water it? Thanks

[@gwenconley1364]

What size pots are you using

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

25 gallons

[@IIrandhandleII]

A lot of these trellises are tilting over and have a splint are those the ones with the cement block base? Excellent videos. Instant sub.

[@lethutran1027]

Do you sales the plants?

[@zyrellefuentes4908]

Do you have varieties ready for farm production? Im a newbie and im planning to start a dragon fruit farm here in my place. Self pollinating, sweet and average market size

[@ericcalixto8560]

Do you give out cuttings especially the ones that taste like candy and have grape flavor?

[@sunlengsuy8160]

Hi I have question about big fruit I have too many dragon fruits but most of them are small size, any idea you have something tell me

[@joannek272]

I’m so jealous. I’m in SoCal and I have killed my dragonfruit plants 😢 I transplanted them and after watching your video, maybe it’s too shaded from a lemon tree.

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully you got a new one to start again

[@EdwardZhen-g7o]

Hey Richard, do you know why my dragon fruit hasn’t fruited yet? Had them for 3 years but never fruited. They were mature cuttings and gave them proper care. Varieties are sugar dragon and Vietnam white. Any tips? Thanks.

[@justaldrinskate]

Root problem maybe?

[@jirikoudelka7283]

Hey Richard Ive got a question. I live in the Czech republic, the centre of Europe, and while the summers sure are hot enough nowadays, the winter is the problem. So my idea is to keep it in a pot and leave the pot outside for the summer and other hot days while putting it inside our house for the cold. (We do not have a greenhouse) Do you think it could work? Do you think it could set fruit? Thanks

[@AngelMauricioHernandez]

En el minuto 37 se ve una planta de pitahaya con esqueje en forma de espiral. Que variedad es? Gracias por compartir.

[@rosabenitez1719]

Es Red Laverne.

[@AngelMauricioHernandez]

@@rosabenitez1719 . Gracias. Que otras variedades tienen esquejes en forma de espiral?

[@Kibatsume1]

Sadly not sure what's going on with mine this year. I have a voice cross pollinated my Halley's comet with a natural mystic to sit every fruit , this year I've had a total of two set out of 17 they are very tiny , I'm not sure if it's the screwed up whether or a nutrient tissue

[@jayflo588]

What's up bro just came across your channel, I plan on growing some for my daughter she loves these so much. I'm also in Southern Cali, Fullerton here. Do you sell cuttings in person or only online ?

[@mauriciodiaz1310]

U call that hot 96. I'm near sacramento and we stay above 105 every day!!!!! Lol I have sunburn on some of my dragons but they're doing fine since I water every day and have good soil sunshine #4 with pumice. Just thought that comment was a bit funny 96 is prime weather lol😂

[@FullmoonEffects89]

My same thought. I'm in sacramento and it was hovering around 110 for about a month straight. It finally dropped to the 90s.

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

😂 yeah 96 and we die here in SoCal 🤣

[@rosabenitez1719]

Hey Richard can i use Sugar Dragon to pollinate Kate Van Arum flowers ?

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

Absolutely!

[@MrAloha999]

You guys lucky you done have humidity, Hawaii gets to high 80s and the humidity is CRAZY....lol it could be raining here and we're sweating

[@Coast_to_Coast]

How do you keep track of all the different types?

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

I’ve memorized all of them by location and now recognize them by branch, flower, and fruit.

[@Coast_to_Coast]

@@GraftingDragonFruit wow. Impressive. I need to come up with a good way to label them. Right now I’m using a sharpie because I have multiple types in one container. Maybe when I get more I can break them out for easier identification. Thanks for posting!

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

@@Coast_to_Coast Sharpie is the easiest way! That's what I did for the longest time and still do

[@lccm4112]

Hey Richard, in your experience, do the fruits become smaller as the plants ages? Asking you this cos I have noticed that the dragon fruits I have seems to be getting smaller.

[@itzkrish0794]

for the costaricensis because it has a earthy beat root taste maybe try cooking it ? like with potato's and onions that was the 1st thought i had in my head what's the worst that could happen

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

Yeah that’s worth a try but dragon fruits are so good just cold. I can’t imagine it cooked and warm lol

[@ariellephan]

Do you sell your fruits locally? Would love to purchase some!

[@XiaoGaoMaMa]

Ha Ha, I like the idea of the cute haircut.

[@atomatamon3738]

Dragon fruit varieties are like car models, just passing names and almost the same taste. A group of hybrids differ in very slight differences, and perhaps the same hybrid has more than ten names. Basically, there is the yellow, spiny dragon fruit, the ura, the white, and the red. The rest are just commercial names directed at stupid consumers to fill the pockets of those in charge of hybridization.
