Awesome! You would be a wonderful teacher, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

You’re very welcome! 😁

[@BeckeyGirard]

Hi Richard I wish you were in Florida. I am disabled so I can't do the heavy work of growing anymore but I'd gladly buy fruit from you! I still love to watch your videos!

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

Thank you Becky! In the future when I have fruits I’ll have to get in touch with you.

Was wondering why a dragon fruit tutorial has so many views. But once i watched, i knew why. Great vid man, you just got another sub.

[@TFrenchHughes]

Perfect timing on the video! My sugar dragon and american beauty arrived today 😍

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

Awesome!!!!

[@raulperez4836]

Richard I like your videos.

[@Lobo832]

Awesome video bro 👍🏼

[@duncanmaina7491]

Very well presented

[@suzanneanderssen7245]

Absolutely perfect video I needed to watch :) I'm right at the stage where new growth is coming on, and as a first time dragonfruit grower, I had no idea, til this video, what to do and how to give the plants the best opportunity. One question about the garden tape - why doesn't it inhibit the growth of the trunks? I'm using rubber garden cord and I'm worried I'm going to cut off the growth of the stalks.

[@crimsonraen]

Right on, thanks for another great video!

Excellent teacher. Thank you. 👏👏👏

[@evelynm.8967]

Awesome, thanks! I need to check if my cuttings have roots yet.

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

Just give them a little wiggle and see if they are hanging on tight. Also the plump of them will get thicker as another sign of root developed!

I always watching your video , could you please give me a fertilization program of dragon fruit , coz i just start to plant in my backyard but i dont know what kind of fertilizer suit for this fruits

[@MetalChipps]

Hey! Thanks for putting this video out! I just started growing my four dragonfruit varieties, and they've just rooted. I think my plants took longer to root (I planted them in December) because recently here in Louisiana the temperatures got around 10 degrees fahrenheit, so I had to bring them inside frequently and they didn't get a lot of sun. I'm actually going to use tomato trellises when I transplant them from their little pots that I put them in for the winter to move them around easily. What are your thoughts on using trellises?

[@luismontenegro4907]

White sapphire is one of my favorite 🔥🙂

[@michellelind3873]

Where do I find your cool watering cup

[@meyatonstravel9346]

Once you transfer the plant into the bigger pot, how long does it take for it the start growing to get to the top of the trellis?

[@gvrdnnk3102]

Hey @richard ..you gonna keep all plants for next 25 years ??

[@tessawoodmansee465]

When dragon fruit reaches trellis trim cut top and it will branch? And cascade by itself or tie to aid cascading?

So you gauge when to switch from veg to bloom fertilzer by the time of year/month? or is there signs the plant shows to tell you when to switch.

With the recharge do we use it every time that we fertilize, so every 7-10 days as well? Just got my first dragon fruit January been battling sun burns and rats :( Thanks for all the help this channel has been!

Hello sir 🌹, assunta 5 is cross pollination, red flower and white flower,

[@FattyMateo]

This came right on time because I planted mine last fall too (I'm in FL 10a) and while they are well-rooted, out of 7 cutting I only have like 4 total new small nodes, so I'm really hoping they take off now that it's heating up. Question: my new growth is more yellow than the main cutting and I have some orange rust. I'm treating the rust with copper, but what does new growth looking yellow mean? Thanks

[@yashwanthreddykuraparthi5881]

I started growing dragon fruit plant from cutting in shallow pot from 1year and 6 months ago, it have reached 7.8feet on terrace .it was not fruiting so . My doubt is that can I transplant it to bigger pot or barrel in this summer season T(38°c), will it inducing flowers by doing transplantation. Or is any other season is good to transplant of that cactus.

[@razzaqunique]

we grow dragon fruit plan via seeds ,now plants are 45 days . But their roots turn black and later plants rot (dead). Any solution ?

[@ParadiseAgroFarm]

hi Richard, many thanks for new information again and again. please tell me , how much possible to come new shoots again in the same point you cut / prune the branches or buds ?

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

Once you cut/break the branch in that area can’t grow again. Unless you didn’t break it all the way and sometimes a growth can come back.

[@ParadiseAgroFarm]

@@GraftingDragonFruit so nice of you Richard.

[@godevils1982]

What kind of sun do these need? I’m in Phoenix and I got two on my patio. I’m a little scared to put these out in my yard now that the sun is starting to get brutal.

[@loidalucero6284]

do you sell cuttings?

[@feliciag.6074]

My dragon fruit bud is turning a little yellow, after I took the closed flower.

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

This might mean it didn’t get pollinated so the fruit is aborting.

[@wasabi_bamboo_1014]

Is there any way to get your dragon fruit to start growing aerial roots to stick to this trellis?

[@arcanavoresmanavault2637]

@Wasabi_bamboo_101 I wrapped my main trellis post with burlap. The aerial roots and thorns of the vines are able to grab on to the burlap.

[@wasabi_bamboo_1014]

@@arcanavoresmanavault2637 ahh okay. I’ve already planted my cuttings in their permanent pot and they are tied to the trellis with garden tape. Is there a way to wrap the trellis with burlap at this point without injuring the plant?

[@tariqyasin9594]

In my humble opinion...the consideration to sacrifice so many side shoots to reach the trellis top in an earlier time frame seems flawed. The plant won't fruit till it reaches its maturity age foe fruiting which is around nine months. So letting multiple shoots grow together would result in a healthy and esthetically appealing branch structure and umbrella while the plants ages and matures for fruiting.

[@mandiigraham1596]

I’m in Australia and we don’t have the fertilisers you have in the US. Can you give us the active ingredient in the fertilisers so we can find suitable products here. Cheers

Hey Richard, would it be okay to plant white flesh and red flesh dragon fruit in a same pot? Thx in advance and keep posting them videos🤙🏼

[@HiImBob]

Just a heads up about using none organic and organic fertilizer. When you use none organic products for growth and switch to organic for fruit and such. It does not mean that your fruits are organic. The entire growth needs to be created strictly from organic materials for you to be able to eat organic fruit. If you were to want to stick an organic label on your fruit you would need to take it even a few steps further to adhere to the organic label standards.

Hi Mr. Richard, can we use the seeds from Dragonfruit purchased at a supermarket to save seeds and germinate into harvestable plants? Are there places to purchase seeds or grafting of the different varieties of Dragonfruits? I have never looked into growing them, but love the fruit. I will be moving from SoCal to a 4 season state in the next few years. I’m guessing they will not thrive outside of tropical climates?

[@sunnysharma1701]

Do you shift the pots indoors over winter? why not grow in ground?

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

No, I live in California so my weather is tolerable in winter. I keep them in pots because it allows me to grow them anywhere and not restricted to only where I have ground.

[@TheBrewingMiner]

I should have trained my dragonfruit to grow straight up rather than wrap around. Luckily it wrapped near the top so hopefully it won’t mess with the newly transplanted one in the future

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

Still possible to train them the way you want by just pruning some off

[@TheBrewingMiner]

Luckily after I posted this comment I realized I could just bend it, and now it’s in its own space. Had to tip it because the tip had become deformed somehow and waiting for a new branch to shoot out!
