So glad I searched and found this video. I just bought my first piece of dragon fruit at the grocer the other day. Never eaten it and wasn't even sure the name when I purchased it. Now I know how to save the seed 🤗 thank you!

2:57 I found an easyer way to get the jel off of the yellow dragon fruit seeds Is to put the seeds in a strainer take it to the sink and spray the seeds for about a minute and after a minute most of the jel will come off of the seeds while your spraying

@geriannroth449 2 года назад

You can also take the seeds put them in a fine strainer then add some normal building sand to the seeds in the strainer & just rub the seeds with the sand for a little while then lightly rinse with water either from your spray bottle or a slow trickle from the tap & soon your seeds will be mostly free of the pulp.

@lauranilsen8988 2 года назад

That’s what I did. I also saw somewhere that you can dry them on a paper towel and then the stuff just crumbles right off. I didn’t know when I would be planting them so I did that after rinsing. It worked really well. I think they must have ALL sprouted and I have a hard time throwing them out!

I have always eaten the pink/white dragon fruits and the pink/pink flesh one until recently I had a chance to try the yellow dragon fruits and I found out personally I love the yellow one better. So, I am trying to grow yellow dragon fruits from seeds and hopefully, they will germinate.

Great video. Do the yellow variety and the red outside and white inside look the same as they grow ?

@shamrockgirl804 2 года назад

I believe they'll look the same as they're growing, especially the first year or so. But the once the plants get larger and thick, the two varieties will look different.

@KG-km8st 3 года назад

Hi, but Google saying that from seeds plants give very late fruit and quality of that fruit plants give different types of test and quality. That's why I thought rich, grains, give same type of products. Then nursery people saying different and saying buy plants from them, they are grafted plants selling is good.

@Bevisgreat 2 года назад

I had the solid red ones in Malaysia. Sweet. The pink and white are not as flavorful. Bland. Never even seen yellow ones! Where can I buy them in Austin?

HEB and Central Market can have the yellow dragon fruits every once in a while. I usually see them at Asian markets such as 99 Ranch and H-Mart. They’ll have the red-fleshed ones too.

What is the soil mix ( not expensive) you can use for DF plants after 6 months old ?

@shamrockgirl804 10 месяцев назад

I use general or 'all purpose' potting soil for my young dragon fruits. I may also add perlite for added drainage. For my older plants, I add about 1.5 tbsp of general granular fertilizer (or bloom-boosting fertilizer during the fruiting season) every 4-6 weeks.

@richardwozniak3238 9 месяцев назад

you just dry the seeds in the sun - once dried you plant them - dry in sun with mushed up flesh and it gives the seeds nutrients to grow much better, this video process is a very complicated process.

@giftofthewild6665 Год назад

Do you have to remove the membrane of the seeds? I didn't bother for the pink dragon fruit, will they mould now? 😕

@shamrockgirl804 Год назад

For most dragon fruit seeds, you don’t have to remove the membrane because there isn’t a lot of gel around the seeds. Make sure not to have the soil too wet and provide good air circulation to prevent mold. But for larger seeds such as the Ecuador Paloras (megalanthus) that I planted, I’d remove the membrane or let the seeds dry out before you plant them.

don't get hung up on "mold". fruit decomposing is a natural part of plant life cycle and propagation. will not harm your plants at all.

@sayedaaqsa2942 2 года назад

Can I grow from seeds that have been dried and left out for weeks? I planted my seeds but they are not growing :(

@shamrockgirl804 2 года назад

Yes, you can. They might take a little longer to germinate, but they should grow. I’ve reused soil and had dragon fruit seeds sprout months later in a new container.

@Allaroundus 3 года назад

Is it ok not to remove the flesh from the seed?

@shamrockgirl804 3 года назад

Removing the gel on the seeds is optional, but removing them will allow the seeds to germinate faster. I remove the gel from the larger Ecuador Palora yellow dragon fruits because of the greater risk of mold or rot if the soil is too wet. I’ve sprouted the tiny seeds with the gel on, and they grew fine.

@gritlog 2 года назад

i wonder how they naturally grow from seeds in the wild without human intervention

@shamrockgirl804 2 года назад

As they grow, they'll likely use their aerial roots and grab onto tall structures such as trees or telephone poles. Somehow they'll climb up a trellis.

@asectic771 2 года назад

Okay, why does no one show the final result? Like I’m more curious about how the actual fruit grow FROM the full blown cactus!

@shamrockgirl804 2 года назад

It takes many years for a seed-started plant to bear fruit. The seedlings featured in this video are now 4.5 years old (June 2022) and they haven't shown signs of budding. You can also graft a seedling to a mature rootstock, and it might grow faster than a seedling. But cuttings from mature plants can fruit within 1-2 years, depending on the growing conditions. I bought some cuttings last year (spring 2021) and a few of them are budding right now (June 2022). I plan to post some videos about them soon.

@tttoan 3 года назад

3:20 use a towel to remove the gel from seeds but at 3:56 the gels are still there. :D

@shamrockgirl804 3 года назад

I did an experiment with two containers to see if the seeds would spout with or without the gel on. The gel-on seeds took longer to sprout and it needed to be aired out more to avoid mold growth on the soil.
