ALL ABOUT Growing Dragon Fruit w/ 'The King Of Dragon Fruits' | feat. Grafting Dragon Fruit YouTube

[@marylindaalmojuela9175]

I bought a pot with less than 12 inches tall from a backyard grower, no roots, i cut them to 4-6 inches, planted in clay pots in April, i harvested 25 fruits by August. Big heavy fruits and sweet, plump. Dark Reddish purple inside, each fruit weighed about 1-1.8 lbs each

[@SHARONSHORTOrchidsandGarden]

Richard is utterly fantastic!!!

[@IVOrganic]

He truly is- hoping to collaborate with Richard again soon! 🌱👍

[@bjohnson2003]

Thanks for this video. I started growing dragon fruit in my greenhouse about a year ago. I've learned so much about growing and grafting dragon fruit from watching Richard's KZbin channel and his Facebook group.

[@IVOrganic]

Thanks for the compliment!!! Richard has a limitless knowledge for dragon fruit! I’m so glad to have got to meet him in person & to incorporate some of his favorite varieties into our backyard orchard! Charles 🤩

[@RAREDRAGONFRUIT]

Gary’s Best Top Pot is another excellent potting soil for dragon fruit.

I love red dragon fruit i can't get enough of it I buy the frozen ones in a bag at Costco I would love to grow my own but I don't know where to get the seeds to grow the red one

[@dumplingsfordays2980]

i know im late but you'd have to get a fresh red dragon fruit or buy seeds

[@rajivkamat1803]

Very informative video.

About slugs where I live in Uganda,we don't have access to sluggo or sluggo plus but I've had to improvise by sprinkling salt around the plant and it worked for me.

[@TheMaggieMia]

Living in central Illinois my tiny seed grown Dragon plants will be in a raised, wheeled planter so I can get them inside for winter and it wasn't about getting free fruit but to see if they would actually grow

[@happyfamily8624]

thanks for sharing this video I'm new friend here

[@yesitsamessgarden]

Off subject, but I just got my first ripe Marseille VS Black fig from a cutting I received from you. It was delicious 😋 Thanks

[@thomasashe2681]

I have some questions for Mr. Richard Le. 1. Do you have any for sale? 2. Aren't there 4 different color types (red skin/white pulp, red skin/red pulp, yellow skin/white pulp, and yellow skin/red pulp)? 3. If a person was to have a few of those self-sterile species, would they cross pollination one another?

[@deneensmith5691]

I tasted dragon fruit before and it was sweet and delicious been in love ever since I kept the seeds so is it possible to grow a dragon fruit from seed?

[@juneramirez8580]

The Kellogg's potting soil was recommended from someone's video and I find that I have to replant everything I put in pots because the stuff it's just horrible to plant in. My plants took forever to grow it was hard to know when to water. In my big pots the bottom of the pot was very soggy and smelly and the top was dry. I now use that to add to my garden vegetables by digging into the dirt or using as a Mulch on top of my soil. I now make my own potting soil.

[@ItsDolph-fl8cu]

I like you to help me to grow my Dragon fruit to see how it grows up.

hi, if my dragon fruit already in the ground for couble of years, if i wanna move to a 20 gallon pot, should i cut the wet root, dry it under the sun a few day before i follow your way?

[@marylindaalmojuela9175]

You said roots don’t go down, Roots go down and out to the holes of the pot. I planted a mature branch i cut in June it has 2 fruits ready to harvest in 2 weeks.

[@AWiz-lx8lh]

Thanks So Much. I’m New to The Art of Dragon Fruit. I Have Been Caring For Orchids the Past 3-4 Years with Decent Success. Anyhow, Was Just Wondering if Like Potting Orchids, Can You Add Some Charcoal to The Substrate. It Purifies the Water Taking Out Toxins and Impurities. Can Anyone Help with this Question? Obviously, I Don’t Want to Damage My 3 Cuttings a Co-Worker Gave to Me. Great Video. Thanks So Much and Thanks to Anyone who Can Offer Help with that Question. Blessings to All!

[@FacelessBeatz]

Glad to see the collab! Been following you for a couple years due to growing citrus trees, avocados, and figs. This year I added dragon fruit cuttings and been following Richard. Man, I learn so much from both of you- glad you guys have this passion. Looking forward to all my cuttings rooting so I can have DF next year. Growing 5 varieties and all are self fertile to help with the learning curve. One day I’ll jump over to Haley’s comet or physical graffiti. Thanx again for making this video!

How about if you have a dragon plant which has already a lot if roots? Can we used directly those parts with bigger roots or we will still start with the cuttings? Thanks for the info.God bless

[@m0ntse00]

Love your videos, super informative! Definitely convinced me to purchase a 4lb bag of your super blend fertilizer for my DF cuttings that i’m having coming in soon! I wanted to know how to properly feed them this. I think you said not to start using it until they start to grow/root then start doing a monthly feeding, but you also said that changes during the winter time? I’m in south Florida so not super cold here, how do I go about feeding them during the winter time as in, how much and how often? Also, i’m getting unrooted cuttings, when do I begin to feed them monthly? I’m using the same set up such as 4 cuttings per 20 gal bucket. Thank you, any advice helps!!!

[@joekidd777]

Did you ever find out when to start feeding unrooted cuttings?

[@The78bluedevils]

p.s. will grow lights help indoors

[@IVOrganic]

YES; but usually for a short period, like 1-3 months, to get them through the coldest winter days. But, I know that full sun results in optimal growth & performance. Write to one, or all, of the Grafting Dragon Fruit links I’ve shared in the comments & description. Good luck! Charles 🤩

[@godofredofulla7456]

Have you ever tried grafting dragon fruit to a wild cactus as the rootstock?

[@FknNefFy]

Edgar Valdivia says to store the seeds in the fridge and not the freezer

[@vonries]

The one thing you didn't cover was growing them from seed. All you said was they would not be true to type and would take several years to fruit. You didn't say anything about raising from seed like put the seeds on the surface or 6" deep or whatever. How can I improve germination should I pre-soak the seeds in water over night? Etc etc etc but I did think it was nice you have him the box of your stuff.

Why here in florida is dificult have this fruit! The flower is down! And the plant it healthy! But not fruit

[@IVOrganic]

Hello Mayra 👋 (1) I’d experiment with trying to grow more varieties. As we discussed, it’s possible that you’ve got a variety that requires cross pollination with a different dragon fruit variety to become fertile & fruit. (2) perhaps you have not be fertilizing during the growing season: spring, summer & early fall. If you have more questions, I’d try contacting Richard Le of Grafting Dragon Fruits FaceBook, Instagram and/ or KZbin. Good luck! Charles 🤩

Dragon fruit has no taste

[@SuperHemiv8]

I could never understand why people eat them as they are so bland with no sugar or acid. However, people tell me that the pink and red fleshed are far better like a great watermelon but avoid the white ones that Vietnamese people cherish.

Hello Paul 👋 I used to have a similar opinion until I tried the yellow dragon varieties- and there are several other ones that can be as sweet & delicious as a mango!

[@golfgunsandcocktailschannel]

Yes, Richard is the King when it comes to growing the Dragon Fruit. I've been watching his videos for a month now. A matter of fact, I already planted four stems or cuttings that I got from Amazon. It will take about 5 weeks for roots to grow before I can transfer them in one big pot, indoor. Yes, indoor because I'm from Chicago. I will place the plant by the window where it can get some sun. We'll see what happens. 😎👍

[@ryanquinn1257]

Cool crossover. Was watching your videos on citrus as I just picked up some dwarf and semi dwarf citrus. Started with doing hydro. Needed a use for the runoff water and started vegetables & peppers, herbs, and then dragonfruit. Rochard’s channel has been a huge help along with local friends and nurseries.
