Dragon fruit flowers only bloom during the night. When that happens it’s time to pollinate the flowers to ensure that we will get a fruit! In this episode I’ll be explaining the different type of dragon fruit flower that they produce and how to plan your pollination process. Check this video out to learn how I do it!

After 3 years of trying I finally have my first fruit nearly ready. 100’s of flowers later but I got it now all thanks to your tips!!! So excited to try my first ever dragon fruit and I grew it!!!

@GraftingDragonFruit 2 года назад

That is so AMAZING to hear! Congrats on your success and, I am so happy to know that I was able to help you be successful!!

@joeponder9668 2 года назад

My “trellis” is so packed and ridiculous just from not knowing even kinda what to do that I’ve been taking cuttings for family and friends. Everyone is so interested in it. I can’t wait to build a couple more with different varieties! I will be watching all your videos on how to do so!

I have a Halley's comet plant that is really big. I have it growing up and over an old tyre. It's been flowering for a couple of years now but no fruit. I've just realised it is self sterile. I've purchased another variety which the garden centre assured me was self pollinating, though I don't know what the variety is. I'm hoping it will flower this year and I can start crosspollinating. I heard cross pollination gives better quality fruit even on self pollinating plants. I'm in Cyprus, Europe. Great videos by the way. So helpful

@jrpandi5379 2 года назад

hi richard! I wonder if there is certain amount of time for these pollen to pollinate the stigma? it's quite raining in my area and I usually bag the flowers to make sure it will be pollinated, thanks!

@alfredomiranda7002 Год назад

Great content 👌. So I noticed that you mentioned that when pollinating the stigma,we have to make sure that the pollen travels down the tube, so if we don't get it down the stigma tube,will that decrease the chances of it fruiting?

Hey, love your videos, i know this is an old video but i got some questions hopefully that can get answered. I followed all of your how to episodes and i have branches poppoing up everywhere. I removed all of the from the main branch and my initial 5 branch from the main. I want to know, do you let anymore branches grow from your initial 5 branches? Or do you keep removing them and only let those 5 branches flower for the rest of its life? Can your initial 5 branches continue to give fruits for its life? or will i have to regrow the 5 branches again from the main branch?

Hi Richard, I believe one of my dragon fruit plants is a red jaina because of the vibrant red flesh and the cracks in the ripened fruit. Can you please tell me whether that variety is self-sterile, self-fertile, self-pollinating, or a combination? Thanks.

@eddiedeleon3784 Год назад

I'm not sure what kind of dragon fruit I have. I germinated seeds from store bought fruit. I don't know what variety they are but I bought a red one and a yellow one, both white inside. 3 years later and im getting actual growth now, might make cuttings to root this year to set in forever pots.

@sandramedina94 Год назад

Hi Richard, this is my first time growing dragon fruits. My plants are 10mths old but one is already flower budding and I don't know if I need pollen from another plant to pollinate it. I have three types (yellow , red and undatus). But the one that is growing buds is the yellow one. Do you know if they need to cross pollinate or self pollinate? If they need to cross pollinate do you have pollen that I could use and how do we go about it? I really appreciate your chanel it has taught me so much. Thanks for the help.

@CuteButLonely9 Год назад

Hi Richard, is there something as over-pollination? I think I overpollinated my flowers because only 3/1 of them turned out pollinated. I brused on the stigma as you showed on your video, but i also used the brush to deliever almos a "spoonful" of pollen to the center of stigma. Is it enough to just gently brush around the stigma? I'll be waiting for your reply, thanks in advance! Also thanks for the content.

Hi, i got a dragon fruit plant from a friend and it has flowered twice since i got it. 8 flowers the 1st time then 10 flowers. I hand pollinated them and no fruit has set. They just go yellow and drop off. Its the vietnamese white variety and the person i got it off does not cross pollinate so i dont think thats the problem. My wife waters them everyday, is that too much? What other reasons could it be for not setting fruit? Thanks

@locn9307 Год назад

I am in a similar situation. I got an Asunta and several other No ID varieties given by a hobbyist. The first 5 Asunta flowers were aborted. But not bummed out because that means the plant will bloom again. You need an American beauty, sugar dragon or a Vietnam white which are universal pollinators. More plants means more blooms, more fresh pollen. Vietnam whites are readily available. Good luck.

@ronaldwang9624 2 года назад

After dragon fruits have been harvested, do you remove the branches? If you do remove the branches, how to get new fruiting branches for next year? But if you keep the branches, are you going to get fruits from the same branches next year? Remember, you have removed some or many small flowering buds from the same branches. Are new flowering buds going to regrow from the same spots?
