Do not need different species, just a different flower. When you have only one flower, save the pollen ( freeze) to use on the next flower. Cross species pollination effects the seed genes, not the fruit.

[@marissakay8121]

There’s a technique women use with those highlighter brushes, we tap the excess off. You could try tapping the brush to make the pollen gently fall off onto the stigma. Very helpful!!

[@i.r.walling7289]

This has been a very good tutorial. After waiting for 2-3 years, tonight I finally got my first and only dragon fruit flower. It's 8 pm now and the flower has opened up. I'm going to do exactly like you did to self pollinate. Thank you.

Any luck with your flower?

VeganAthlete thanks Jake that was awesome!

[@mahahungsk3841]

VeganAthlete and

[@nerobaobab4502]

VeganAthlete, I wonder if u got it pollinated, I know that if u grow several different plants from the seed of one dragon fruit, they won't pollinate each other. Yet, the video served its purpose, the way to do it, yet with different flowers. Thanks

[@nany6473]

VeganAthlete amazing video 💖 Have you started using fresh seeds or cutting ?

[@kaneohebay]

Hey, Jake. My fanily is curious if you're ever going to post update videos on your dragon fruit. We have been watching and re-watching this video for years. It would be nice to see what is happening with your dragon fruits.

[@sethdawg]

Please!

[@TheASTrader]

Nice LED headband. lol. Cool video! Looking forward to the updates.

[@VeganAthlete]

:)

[@loriaadamson]

I love the sounds of your garden at night!

[@VeganAthlete]

Thanks Lori. Me too!

[@howtogrowdragonfruitplant7849]

We are ready !

[@CustomGardenSolutions]

Wow, the night video of the dragon fruit is so vivid.😎😎😎

[@sabin97]

tonite i got my very first dragon fruit flower to bloom. it's a single flower, so i gotta do it right in the very first attempt. seems like a simple enough procedure. exactly how i expected it to be....now off to make the magic happen!

[@Mark147KTM]

Very good demonstration. I brought my first dragon fruit plant today, but It's very tiny so I think I ill be waiting quiet a while. You can see the extra roots that sprout for when they grow naturally along the ground to suck up more nutrients and water from the earth. I would actually like to see how well they grow along the ground.

[@howtogrowdragonfruitplant7849]

I grow them over the ground

[@Angela3.0]

You Look just like the Dragon Fruit Flower with all those lights lol! This plant peeks itself over my fence, I always feel as if a higher source is giving me lots of love every time I see their amazing bloom. There hasn't been any fruits though, but now I will try this and see if they will do just that... Thank you So much for your kind gesture of information : )

[@elrichvolshebnik]

My Dragon Fruit is blooming right now. This is the info I was looking for. Hopefully it works and I get a fruit.

[@ahdjwla]

Jake: "If you come in closer you can get a better look" (said to the lovely camera lady) Me: I should move forwards to get a better look😐😂😂😂

[@johngonzales7004]

This was awesome, Thanks, I have one that is going to bloom within two to three days, it will be my first. I am going to try the same experiment.

[@polkcellar]

Another great one! I'm stilll waiting for my red dragon fruit to flower for the first time here in zone 9b cental ca. Feeling inspired!

[@VeganAthlete]

That's what this one is supposed to be.....the red variety!

[@dinambudomo]

I have red and purple. The seeds came from the fruits I ate. They were both sweet! But I heard that the yellow one is the sweetest. Do you have a yellow one? :-D

[@lovepeacejoy8869]

You are awesome. I have 2 dragon fruit flowers in my Earthship that are ready to bloom tonight. For the first time one of the other species is about ready to bloom also. It is much smaller and reddish all the others have been white and large like the one in your video. I will attempt to pollinate the two white with the red one. Wish me luck so far I hav not been able to produce any fruit on them.

[@spafa9]

[@melbournesubtropicfruits9474]

Most Dragon flowers are self fertile and have alot of pollen - Home grow taste amazing over store bought so I hope they ripen well for you - Ripening tip is --- wait for the flower to dry and nearly or fall off and are ready to eat - enjoy

[@meiness87]

Great video!!! Loved it

Hello Jake, Do you need to do this on every flower?

[@howtogrowdragonfruitplant7849]

Depends on variety. If you have many insects do the work for you

[@szorakatenusz7285]

Can we mix the pollen of several flowers, and then apply as needed?

[@GSCannon]

Wow amazing thank you sooo much!

[@4000marcdman]

Great thumbnail on this one.

[@mdixon4az]

Assuming it is self fertile and it will produce a fruit now, will it be ready before the cold weather of winter?

[@pcperambra1555]

good clear video

[@rheaadams1437]

So where did you get the LED HEADBAND? lol Great video!

[@RussellBooth1977]

It's strange how I've seen images of that flower open up during the day online. I planted 9 dragon fruit seeds in a tub on the weekend & kept the rest aside for later so knowing how to hand pollinating the flower will become useful to me in a couple of years. We do also have bats & moths which can pollinate the flowers.

[@larsedik]

Don't expect flowers in two years - it normally takes 5-6 years (or more) to get the first flower, and then you should have them each year afterwards.

[@lianagilbert61]

That was amazing!

[@GumbiiGrows]

nice video, but your technique is good for other flowers, not really for hylo cactus or other types... in side the stigma, there is a tiny hole that goes all the way back to the ovary... by just shaking the pollen, it is not enough to make it go through... you have to pretty much pour the pollen into the hole in the middle of the stigma... i'm sure you got some fruits, but most hybridizers pack the hole of the stigma with pollen with a small piece of cardstock or plastic...

[@sistemadardo]

I'm interesting for your video. I have plants in south Italy

[@peterdunn6124]

Just went out midnight with a soft brush to tickle our known to be self polinating red dragon fruit cactus. Two flowers open and with the torch there was such a Big shower of pollen thatbtgere was plenty to share between the flowers. Will be looking forward to compare the fruit size after human intervention

[@howtogrowdragonfruitplant7849]

It, crosspolination, often makes fruit bigger

[@ommievoi]

i have dragon fruit just open flower a while ago i ill do what i saw in your garden

[@gogogardener]

Thanks. I'm still trying to figure if Christmas cactus are in same family as dragon fruit. I have several types of the former and also young white dragon fruit. The Christmas cactus thrive but have never formed fruit. I have yet to see dragon fruit flower, but yours is similar in form to my other cactus. please show us more as you learn.

[@GumbiiGrows]

it is very complicated to get them to fruit... or to cross pollinate... i usually cut off most of the pedals from the top... carefully... then wait until the stemen and pollen stretch out and the pollen is released.. it's very hard to get the pollen into the tiny hole of the stigma...

Are you still in Vancouver island

[@elinasi1727]

A date with pitaya ah, jake my dragon fruit was in full sun abd didnt set fruit even if pollinated, maybe it is not self pollinating, anyhow now its in part shade and i hooe it will set finally. From some other youtube vids u saw its a jungle cacti and not a desert one so probably its not well afapted to full sun in hot areas.. Any input in that?

[@romygime5822]

Did you get fruit from this flower? I just have the same problem. my dragon fruit just been pollinated a week ago but only had one flower, after 3 years waiting. The flower die the next day but is not sign that it's fruiting it is been 5 days now no belly yet
