E4: How to Grow Dragon Fruit From Cutting to Fruit

[@tkotgj]

Thanks Richard. I like your instructional videos because you don't talk and detract. Keep up the good work.

[@truevision1]

Man dragon alley turned into dragon forest yard 😂. Great share as always. Ps. Couldn't hide all those flowers on the back plants from the trained eye. Looking out for more flowering and fruit content soon dragon boss

[@cindychiase6039]

Cindy thank you for sharing enjoy your weekend

[@larryburns777]

good informative show nice muscles on u bro watching you shake that gallon bottle made me run to the weights and wortk out ya know crack out a few pushups lol but thought you were going to go through growing a plant from cutting ..

[@hybridalien5542]

Great video and thanks for the knowledge. I brew microbial brews for my garden. The only bummer is chlorinated water which destroys the microbes. For me I fill container with city water and air bubble the water for a day or two before I make my brew. Releases some of the chlorine out . Anyhow microbes are a must. Love your vids they are detailed, Thanks for sharing your time.

[@dimonpoznyakom5675]

Hi Richard. Your video is very helpful and informative. Started to follow you about a year ago and already do have 10 pots with over 45 plants. Thanks

[@perotmantik2199]

thsnks for you .... what about the winter and cold weather we must cover dragon fruit by nylon or in a closed place?

[@idasy2372]

[@Akolangto0]

When they start to umbrella, how long do you let them grow? Until they touch the ground? And if so what do you do to maintain? Keep cutting it and maintain a certain length?

[@Rufasa88]

When they get to your desired length, just snip the tip and it will stop growing longer

[@thakor99]

What month the flowers grows in USA.

[@Nikjagringtv39366]

Nice brother 👍👈

[@drephiillip]

Love the tips! Question.. I have tipped my dragon fruit but instead of making multiple branches it only made 1!!! what do i do?? @grafting dragon fruit

[@mirinbartle1323]

I live in Sherman oaks and need pollens soon for my self sterile which is going to flower the last 4buds, where can I get them?

[@zenaidasigua3000]

How often to use flora nova grow and recharge microbe?

[@chrinarai]

Hey, I have some plants that are very well established but they have 2 main branches climbing up. Should I remove one of the branches despite them being strong and healthy? How important is it to have just one main branch?

[@passionfruiter3184]

I would say that it’s better with 2. Traditionally, you would only do 1 because leaving only 1 would speed up the vertical growth process. This is done to reach the top of the trellis as quickly as possible. If you have 2, it takes twice as long for them to reach the top, but you got double the power (2 main branches = 2 main roots in the dirt). Twice as much energy.

[@AntonioLopez-ki1ku]

Sir im barely starting out and am thankfull for your videos. Wondering if i can have a clipping of your favorite dragon fruit

[@aurelianodosdosjr8267]

Hi Richard, thanks for all info about dragon fruit. May I know where you buy your fertilizers (FloraNova Grow /Bloom) and Fox Farm Soil? I live here in San Diego. Thank you.

[@maxhoney9108]

Hi What time of the year you cut the tips and how often should I water?

[@edwardcastro9425]

Hi Richard. I’m getting ready to start a couple dragon fruit plants. I saw a video with you tasting different ones and I was wondering how to get a clipping of Valdivia Roja. I’m in Southern California in Riverside.

Parabéns pelo conteúdo sou aqui do Brasil e também sou produtor de Pitayas, like garantido

[@johnjames5518]

I was also wondering how often is the fertilizer used once week or once month? When I worked at Disney world we used bloom boosters every other week and 20-20-20 every other week for our bougainvilleas and hanging baskets.

[@maningt9200]

How often do you water the dragon fruit using the Nova grow and Nova Bloom?

[@elmerfune9753]

Hey brother thanks for all the info. About the dragon fruit. I got a lot of fruits as I speak and flowers still on my plants. I wish I could send you some pictures.

[@beneciogubac4176]

Do you think planting on just container plants will not easily fall.

[@Narayan-Dahal]

how do you care dragon fruit on rainy season...is it okay to leave them outside...does daily rain affect bad on plant??

[@personalblog5941]

Can i ask something sir, what kind of fertilizer is that?

[@LazyEyedWolf]

Nice video. Also are you ever going to do a follow up video on foliar spray for the aerial roots?

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

Thank you, as I was conducting this research and experiment. I started to notice that aerial roots eventually grow down into the soil to feed. I felt as Foliar wasn't needed when the roots already work their way to find what they need to thrive.

[@suzanneblackmon3409]

So excited I found your videos. Taking all of your information in and hoping my cactus get fruit next year or at least get nearly to that

[@WadeR86]

One of my babies is about 5 inches from the top of the trellis. Getting excited!

[@johnkeynes8873]

I have a half wine barrel is this to big for dragon fruit or will it be ok.

[@jennifers.188]

Awesome tips as always. I have been following along with this series and really enjoy it. Question for you - My rooted cuttings topmost section is over a foot long and very skinny, about the width of a finger. As long as it's secured to the trellis, will it eventually plump up and put off another branch? Or should I cut it off to try and stimulate new growth from the thick part below?

[@anuja7564]

I hv the same question Richard. Great information otherwise. 👍

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

As long as it’s secured to the trellis it will eventually plump up. Once you cut the tip of the cutting they will swell up and put out new growth just like how I demonstrated in today’s video.

Is it better to have your plants in a pot or in the ground?

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

It’s better to have them in the ground if you have the space but pots make them easier to move around as needed when you’d like.

[@theearthhacker1423]

Hi I was wondering if cutting the top off the cuttings was necessary or not?

[@janicemorain2584]

Richard, thank you for sharing your knowledge! If I have buds forming, is it ok to transplant or wait until I harvest the fruit?

[@JFlywheel]

Richard, The directions on my recharge say 1/2 Tsp per gallon, which means 2.5 Tsp for 5 gallons, not 2.5 Tbsp like the video shows. 2.5 Tbsp of recharge wound be 7.5 Tsp into 5 gallons. Is this intentional or are you tripling the dosage on purpose? Also, I have been dosing about 9tsp of grow into a 5 gallon bucket (technucally would be 10 to hit 2tsp per gallon). Should I reduce to 7.5? Thanks! Fainlly your saying every other feeding, I fertilize every 2 weeks during growing season, how often are you dosing?

What happens if we graft a yellow-white with red-red plant

[@Supercellgamer1]

Can we able to get yellow skin red pulp fruit

[@kristinapham3082]

@@Supercellgamer1 No, you will get a yellow-white. You can try using the pollen of one to fertilize the flower of the other, then get the seeds of the fruit and grow them. You might end up getting the yellow skin and red flesh that you want. Just like how children don't always inherited certain traits from each parents, the seedlings are the same. And also, you might want to graft the seedlings to mature plants to speed up the flowering/fruiting process. Otherwise it can take up to 7 years to get fruits from a seed.

Hom many times a week do you water this late in the year in mid California. we are just up from Ventura ,the temps are dropping, is it to late to generate new buds after tipping now,?

Just depends on the soil. I check for dryness before watering. Sometimes it could go 1-2 weeks before having to water

The famous Tabo!!! great vid, just got cuttings from my uncle and so hyped to see it grow. Just wanted to ask, if the stem is already having roots, can i split the cutting into 2 and flip it upside down? The stem he gave me has 4 roots coming out and he said I may be able to cut it in half and get 2 plants form one cutting. Is that correct?

[@AhNee]

No, don't flip it upside down. If you cut it in, say, half, let it sit and cure for a few days so the cut heals over and dries out, then plant that cut end. He has videos on this, do not plant the opposite end!
