E6: How to Grow Dragon Fruit From Cutting to Fruit 

You give some very nice pearls of wisdom. Thank you.

Congrats on the new addition to your family! Love the videos you make! Very informative 👍🙂

I look forward to every episode in this series! Please keep more coming.

Thank you for the update from the Florida Keys

Thanks Richard! Excellent as always.

Good timing for this. Trying to get my first little crop of dragon fruit this year. Just tipped them according to this video, and hoping they fatten up in time to flower and fruit now. I'm in Taiwan, so they have the perfect climate.

Your video could not have come at a better time! My branches are growing straight up and I've been waiting for them to "voluntarily" hang down. Now I know I can help nudge them along. Sweet shirt too!

It was great to see the new video after so many days. I missed you so much. Thanks for the new video

So sick! inspirational

Great content I’m learning a lot from your videos

Congratulations on your baby girl. May she be blessed by God and bring your family much joy.❤

Just wondering how long these wooden trellis lasted since you have been planting dragon fruit for a while? Thanks

Congratulation to your family! We loved your video's

Hi Richard, I invested in 2 cuttings of I think 5 different varieties late last fall. Vietnam White Vietnam Red Red Laverne Delight American Beauty Haley’s Commet They haven’t done much yet, but did grow some before the cold set in. I just bought the fertilizer you recommended and hopefully they will begin growing this year!

Hope your family is well. Congrats on the baby.

Here's a recap from the videos of what to do for fertilizers: 1. Start with a trellis using FoxFarms Ocean for the soil. 2. After a month, add 1~2" of chicken manure or worm castings to the top to add more nutrients. Add another 1~2" of chicken manure or worm castings every 3 months, alternating which product is used. 3. During spring (March/April), use Flora Grow + Recharge once every 7~10 days. Water once in between to remove excess fertilizer. 4. During Summer (May/June) stop using Flora Grow. Use Flora Bloom + Recharge once every 7~10 days. Water once in between to remove excess fertilizer. 5. Once flowers buds start to appear, stop using flora bloom + recharge. Add 1~2" inch of chicken manure or worm castings on the top. Episode 6 was a little confusing because the video showed giving flora bloom to a plant with a flowering dragon fruit, but episode 2 specifically said to stop using flora bloom when flower buds appear. 6. Repeat this process again the following spring (March/April), but make sure to add chicken manure/worm castings every 3 months while waiting for spring. I guess eventually you will have too much chicken manure/worm castings at the top, at which point you dig it out and re-start the process of adding fresh chicken manure/worm castings to add more nutrients. I'm ready to become a dragon fruit enthusiast! Thanks for all the information :)

Congratulate to you about new member in your family. Love your video.

Hey Richard, Love the videos, new subscriber here! Keep em coming!- Jeff,

Congratulations on your new Baby Girl. Best wishes.

Thanks for your informative videos. I'm starting planting dragon fruit, a friend gave me few cuts from his uncle's backyard but he doesn't know what varieties they are, some have 3 sides and 2 of them have 4 sides, I watch few videos and haven't seen any with 4 sides. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Hello sir, saw your fruit review two days ago, very informative, the purple 🟣 one is my favorite but very expensive.🤦🤦🤦 congrats with the new arrival, . Stay blessed always

Man in the last 2 weeks you’ve actually given me fruit. Only been trying for 2 years

Nice n so simple Hope i can praktis it at home

Love your shirt

Love your channel !!! I have a few questions. I have a mature pre-existing dragon fruit plant in the ground already no trellis ? It makes it tough to trim and bear the fruit ….I get a few fruit …..any help appreciated !!!! Since I watched your channel I made a trellis and put some cuttings in a pot ….thanks . Hope to hear from you soon!!!!

Waaiiiit... I thought they were supposed to bloom in early/mid summer! That is crazy!

Hello sir, thanks for all your very informative videos on how to grow dragon fruit. I live in Cali as well and my uncle just got me interested in growing one. What's your opinion on Feather Meal 12-0-0 organic fertilizer to help with growth? Would like to stick with fully organic so had to find an alternative fertilizer instead of using your flora grow mixture.

G’day Richard, congrats on the addition to your family. I from the land down under and new to dragon fruit and have been looking at many vids from different people to gain some knowledge from different points of view. The basics from all appear the same throughout but I do like how you explain what and how you do what you do. I assume when you refer to a mature plant, it is 1 that has born fruit? To take an off cut from an immature plant means it will take longer to fruit? I am in the tropics and has just gone into spring so to start planting off cuts now means they would be good for fruit next season? Wish we had the variety of species you have over there but that’s life. Not sure what expected growth rate for the cactus is but I have been getting up to 4.5 inches growth each week, is this normal expectation?

Hello, I was wondering what type of dragon fruit you recommend I should grow first because I would love to grow my own collection of the this wonderful fruit!

Solid content, from 707.

That is so crazy that in less than a year you could have producing plants. Mine are probably going to have to wait till next year to produce, since I planted them in the winter this year. I'm about to get another cutting too, called the Hana variety, and I may have to wait till the year after next for it to produce fruit.

Nice

I have been watching your videos for long time,I learned a lot about dragon fruits.thank you very much.could you please tell me where I can buy pots like yours 😊

you are awesome I've got 4 20gal pots and the dragon fruit up over the top 😋..I would love to visit your garden .I am in SD too..plz let me know if it's possible thanx

I would never miss an update!

Congrats on your baby girl! Q: how much sun does the dragonfruit need a day?

Thanks for all you do. Have a quick question… I grew some local O’ahu DF and it has been flowering a ton, but can’t get it to pollinate. I used white pollen, orange, and it’s own with no luck. Is it possible it won’t fruit? Should I give it time? I’m very curious to see what fruit comes from it. Mahalo!

So I have been following along. I have tipped the plant but can't seem to get bud growth I just get more stem gwoth. Any suggestions? Can I send a you a photo somehow?

Revisiting this video to ask: I saw your recent Instagram post about your crosses of Ohana Express (autocorrect nearly turned it to Obama, imagine that!) and A6-A2, and something with Sugar Dragon. Will you do a video explaining what you do to cross dragonfruit? I saw you even cut the flower’s pollen-source, and was very curious about that as well.

Hey I'm not starting to grow them although I've never tasted it, but wanted to give a tip to plant any plant according to the moon because it would grow faster, just as the moon cause tides and so on it also helps plant growth

I inherited some branches in soil in pots. Have you ever seen red-rimmed edges, on dragon fruit branches? (Am trying to identify what these may be. There were 2 pots of *neglected*cuttings, at least 20 individual trunks each. Have begun replanting them individually, tied them…)

You can use germinated alfalfa seeds for a organic booster . You can use germinated corn for sweeter taste and enzymes etc Put it in a blender before mixing with water .

Hi Richard. Great video. Can you please tell me why you say epsom salt is good for plants and Kevin from epic say it’s not. It’s a bit confusing. When do you actually use it? All the best!

How deep should i dig the pit to plan dragon fruit and was the best season ?

How old should the plant where i am getting the cutting should be?

Richard, when you remove the flower bud on the first year, can you use the flower bud to root and make a new copy of the plant?

Is it possible to graft with a young root stock?

Hello What trace elements are included in the composition of the fertilizer so that dragon frut blooms?

I am wondering if you can put four different kinds of dragon fruit into one pot for better use of space? Thanks.

How we can encourage the plant to flowering and give frout

Hello Richard, is it ok to apply some flora nova grow even though I already applied chicken manure 1st week of June 2024?

Do I need to use root Harmone if I plant them in soil

Do you sell some of the passion fruit plants

So how long you will change the soil on the bigger bucket ?

Hi. Would you please give me some advice. My dragon fruit give a lot of Buds, but after the buds bloom a few days later it turn yellow and died only 30% of buds become fruits after bloom. Thank you.

can you tell me which dragon fruit varieties have a few thorns?

Hi Richard - I watched your video on rust - followed as much as I could but some of the mix you promote is not available in Sydney, Australia - I have been spraying constantly with a mixture of Eco-Neen Bio Oil & Eco Fungicide but the rust is actually spreading Helps - what can I do?

What are u wrapping those trellis with? Plastic? Wrap?

When do you add the chicken fertiliser?

I have a question can you do all this just using water ?

Do you sell seeds? I live in fullerton, CA.

And just so as in China and Asia where they turn the branch over its centre and than they bow it down?

I bought 2 Purple flesh dragon fruit plants. Barely like 2-3 ft long but I don’t know if they are self sterile or not I was wondering if you would sell my 2 cuttings of White fleshed dragon fruit so that I can cross pollinate them in case they need help. And If they end being self pollinating then I have 2 varieties now. Win win situation 🙂. Please let me know 🙏🏼

how many meters is that mate

May I order some cutting from you Richard? Information to order please.

Hi, really love your youtube, but still trying to join your facebook.... any chance I can be approved?

Quickest I’ve ever been: 27 seconds

Brother you would be better to pre soak the soil before pouring the liquid fertilizer into the pot. All of that liquid pouring out of the bottom was instant runoff that you lost nutrients from. I've learned a lot from you with dragon fruits, But the fundamentals you still look like you are learning

Nice n so simple Hope i can praktis it at home
