The purpose of this video is to demonstrate how and why we tip our plants to get more flower buds.

We are in Hawaii, I have one big red dragon fruit, never flower, this month I found one, first one and only one, I had tipped before but never flower, this is surprise to me, I don’t know how can pollen it, no second flower to pollen. Also, I had small yellow dragon fruit plants, but never flower either, I may replant that again!

Hello friend, as usual great information in very short video. Q1- I live near San Francisco, Ca, it's getting hot here now days and it is almost the end of may, can I still tip my plants? I haven't seen any buds on them yet. Been told because it wasn't hot enough this year. Q2- What is the acidity of soil? and how to fix it if you do? Thanks again in advance

@Spicyexotics3 жыл бұрын
If the buds are falling off, wait for the plant to mature a year or so before tipping. Stressing the young plant to produce more than its capable of can result in bud loss.

Is this only done once a year or once in the life of the plant?

Usually once a year. On a branch that was tipped the previous year, move up an inch or two and tip it the following year.

Do you want more plant material now and fruit in two years, you should cut. If you want fruit in one year and more plant material in 6 to 10 months, don't cut. Personally we do not cut. You should also consider your growing region.
