How to Remove Flower From Dragon Fruit

Removing Dragon Fruit Flower helps your fruit stay fungal and pest free. This helps with limiting humidity on your Dragon Fruit to prevent it from having any rot that may happen. Especially, if it starts to rain then moisture will be trapped inside which can later cause your fruit to have issues. It also prevents bugs from eating from the inside out and when removing the flower you can see exactly what’s going on. Check out this video to see WHEN and HOW I remove the Dragon Fruit Flower!

Hi Chanh! Didn’t know you were one of my subscribers. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel! You are awesome. Usually 2 days is enough time for the fruit to accept pollen. I just wait the extra amount of days because I’m paranoid and give it time to separate so it’s easier to snap and pull off. 😄

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

Thank you, Salvi Mithrin. I will definitely make a video on that topic when that time comes for me so I can demonstrate and explain as I am pruning my dragon fruit plants. Pruning for me usually starts in November when the last set of flowers all bloom and harvested. Then pruning will begin. I’ll make sure to cover all the content in the video. I appreciate your suggestions!

Have been growing 4 varieties of dragon fruit for a year and look nothing like yours. I believe when I make my raised bed and use a concrete /styrofoam post for the DF to climb as well as your trellis design ... should start showing promising results. Will keep you posted. Thanks for all tour videos and advice.

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

Hi Kenneth, please keep me updated I would love to hear about your progress. Chicken manure is a great source of fertilizer that will feed them throughout the year slowly. They love it and you can get results just like me by simply just adding this to your garden routine.

[@lynn-marieandersen1924]

Hi there I lTownsville Australia Iv been following your videos for some time now 6 nights ago my dragonfruit flowered so I went and collected some pollen because I new that I had about 14 flowers going to be ready at the same time. So today being day 6 I thought I should remove the flowers off the fruit Townsville has had constant rain now for 4 days now and the flowers are very mushy and hard to remove so what should I do as I’ve had my dragon fruit plants now four 4 years and they have never produced fruit so I started following you for guidance and this year is the first time I have followed your instructions

I was going to say that isnt it better to let nature do its job but you obviously know what you're doing judging by the health & size of your plant so ill take the tip thanks for sharing

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

Hi Tony, nature can definitely do its job but this just helps keep the fruit pest and moisture free. It helps keeps your fruit stay damage free and very pretty once you harvest them. Sometimes critters love to hide in those dry flowers and eat the fruit from within. Thanks for watching!

[@alyssaelder2262]

Hi. I didn’t know about pulling the flower off. Thank you for showing how that is done. Your video’s are very helpful. Thanks! Question, if you don’t mind. … I live in Central Florida and have a Haley’s Comet Dragonfruit. It gets mostly sun and is well drained. I had 5 blooms this year and hand pollinated all of them. (One on one night, and other 4 the night after) on the night I had 4, I used all 4 to pollinate each other. Few days later, seemed like they took. They were firm. On the 5 th day, I could see the color separation and was able to pull the bloom off like you showed. But a day or so later, they turned yellow. 3 fell off the next day. The other 2 have some pink, but also kind of yellow. What did I do wrong? (Going to send this your dragonfruit friend as well, please don’t be offended. I’ve learned from both of you, lol)

[@tokyotech]

Can you talk about how to tell when a flower is successfully pollinated? All my flowers become bulbous and appear halfway like a mature fruit, but then they eventually fall off before full maturity. I'm wondering if this means they were not successfully pollinated.

Nice demonstration bro, I would like to know the schedule of Nutrition we need to provide for healthy growth and fruiting.

[@tkjho]

The flower is sweet & edible. In China, unfertilized flowers from a closely related species 霸王花 are picked and sun-dried, then used to make soup with pork or chicken. Doing it your way you get both the fruit and the flower. As the flowers are fresh, if they're not moldy or rotten, you can probably use them as veggies in stirfries. To minimize mold formation, slit the flower longitudinally into 4 quadrants a few hours after they close to improve ventilation.

[@mavicgabayan9967]

Hello Richard....from my understanding the reason why we removed the dragon fruit flower is to avoid insects from staying in the flower & fruits....Because what I did is I just leaved the flowers to dry until harvesting the fruits.

[@elizabethgolding2754]

Hi Richard Thank you for your very informative videos. I just learned that my “night blooming cactus” is really a dragon fruit plant about two months ago. I have been enjoying the plant for 10 years! I have quite a few that grow in my yard. After learning about dragon fruit from your videos we pollinated several flowers and had one fruit. It was delicious. Then we pollinated 27 flowers in the next bloom. None grew into fruit. Then I saw the video where you removed the flower and then the stigma. I just pollinated 5 tonight. Will try and follow your instructions over the next week or so. Do you think that because the flowers and stigma were not removed was the reason we had no fruit? I live in Florida. Thank you for any insight you may have.

[@Meskarune]

Some dragon fruit need to be cross pollenated from a seperate plant.

[@aquaseahorselove3939]

Were you able to figure out how to get fruit from it?

[@tonyaction5284]

Thanx for letting me know. I’m a first time grower in Miami Fla. and I left the flowers dry up on the fruit. This caused the fruit to rot and fall off😭😩
