[@andrewmazunda3846]

Thanks Richard for great information concerning Dragon fruit farming. I tell you I've gone through more of your videos and I'll never get tired, tis just unfortunately that my country has no or very few people doing dragon fruit farming. & because of your of your knowledge, av managed to purchase some two dragon cuttings from Kenya 🇰🇪. More love From Malawi 🇲🇼

Hi Richard, it’s Peter from Western Australia, I’m happy to say I’ve managed to grow my first few dragon fruit to maturity, however...I wish to ask if you could kindly explain why some fruit on the same plant grows to maturity but is very small compared. Thank you, regards Peter of Shoalwater Western Australia.

[@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.

[@Lobo832]

Awesome video bro 👍🏼

[@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!

[@armyguy91357]

Excellent instructions as usual Richard. Can we get some of your cuttings gs of each? Thank you inadvance.

[@gwapitongtambay168]

Since I've seen this video I caught some idea on how and which branch need to be prune or cut out.

[@volacamarena7404]

Hey Richard !Thanks for all ! But I do have a Question ! Why Is i that you have more then one VARIETY in 1 pot ? Is it best to keep all the same variety in same pot ?

[@TheBrewingMiner]

I don’t see why not mix and match varieties. They don’t seem to outcompete each other

[@JulieBoolie88]

They say it is almost impossible to tell them apart once they grow into each other. I have one pot with mixed cuttings though (all where I don't know which variety they are)

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

I grow different variety in 1 pot to maximize my space. This is also to see if I like the variety enough to put multiple of it in one pot. The issue will be they can get mixed up as they mature but if you’re good at keeping track of what branch is which variety then you’ll be okay.

[@kevinfromcali7062]

Hi Richard my name is Kevin, your videos have helped me so much, I'm a beginner I'm going to build two trellises the way you instruct on your video and start with them, I'm going to need some cuttings obviously and I suppose that means I would start with 8 total cuttings, again per your video, do you have a favorites list of varieties, and I wouldn't mind some of them being self sterile, I would actually enjoy learning how to help the plants get pollinated, collecting pollen and so forth. Anyways thanks for your consideration, and keep up the good work, you're very cheerful and always carry a lot of joy in your videos and that is beautiful!

[@brimoren7320]

Hi Richard, last fall I purchased a Physical Grafitti and a Edgar’s Baby. I am following your instructions for pruning. I’m hoping to get at least one fruit this year. Will the fruit form on this years growth or last years? Can fruits form on the same area multiple times?

Yes.And the fruits comes continuously for 4/5 months.

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?

[@thomasashe2681]

Would it be ok to plant four different types of dragon fruit plants in the same pot with a square support in the middle or would it be better to plant 4 separate pots with 4 plants of the same kind in each pot

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.

Do dragon fruits still need full sun during the winter? I live in South Carolina and there’s usually 2-3 days a winter where it snows and I’d have to keep inside. Sometimes up to a week. I do have a sun light, but I’m not sure how well that will keep the whole plant alive.

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.
