3:05 about dragon fruits being resilient I think it correlates to how they have striking resemblances to cacti, cacti are very resilient plants and Prickly Pears having a striking resemblance to Dragon Fruits, they aren't as spikey, but they turn red and have a very red flesh that can tint and are sweet as i've heard. It also surprised me that in the center of each branch there was a woody hard interior when I brought home a cutting that was a little dried up towards the bottom

@madeleinecornwell4746 2 года назад

Thank you so much for being an amazing instructor and my mentor. I built your trellis design and planted my cuttings and this month, I have my first flower bud. I keep checking it everyday and expecting it to blossom, but it's taking its good old time and keeping me in suspense! We're in a rainy season here on the Big Island of Hawaii and I hope it was OK that I covered the pot with plastic to reduce the excessive moisture. What do you suggest for fertilizing schedule during the rainy season?

@foreverandaday8185 3 года назад

Does dragon fruit have to be grown upwards and then downwards in order for them to fruit? Or can they just be grown along the ground to a certain length to fruit? Basically, is it about being grown to certain lengths, or do you have to have those types of contraptions where it grows up then dangles in order to fruit?

Hi, I'm a big fan thanks for the videos, I also made a trellis like yours for my dragon fruit. I have a question, I have ants that are sucking on my dragon fruit buds is that normal or are they killing the buds/ flower?

@Lucifurion 7 месяцев назад

Ants usually drink the high sugar excretions of aphids. If you’re seeing ants on your plants you most likely have aphids or a similar parasite issue and the ants are feeding from their sugar rich excretions. Try some natural insect removal sprays. I tried one I once made from ultra hot chilis and cigarette butts soaked in hot water then put into a spray bottle and sprayed on affected plants. It worked OK for me. I was lucky because dad used to smoke so i had a ready supply of toxic cigarette butts, not anymore unfortunately. Do some research and find something natural and non toxic. Pretty sure if you looked closely you’d notice small black or dark grey spots near where the ants are feeding. I know this is responding to a 2 y/o post but this may also help out someone else. Ants usually feed on excretions from other parasites, not all of time but mostly. Remember that and always look for and deal with the underlying issue.

@siegfriedkeller2727 3 года назад

After I finished my new trellis, i moved the pot (45 l) outside so of cause the ants moved inside. Maybe they are attracted by the crystal Sugar the young branches absobs near the spikes. So beeing not happy, I moved the pot again under my glass roof. I let the pot on the floor, a kind of rubber mats. After two days I recognized no more ants. I cannot understand why. Maybe they don’t like the rubber mat or its to far (3 meter) from their nest. Maybe they’re attracted by easier food.
