Utmost respect for the dedication in planting as well as the way you educate the viewers. Thank you for your effort in sharing to us your wonderful work.
I've got one, but only because the local grocery store had them growing inside of a cool Buddha pot. It's growing well and will need a new pot soon. I'm looking forward to being able to eat some of the fruits as they're both very tasty and rather expensive.
So awesome, we have a dragon fruit that has started to flower bud, so in the middle of your video when you said they flower full at night I jumped up and had a look and it's flowering it's 1100 at night here, I'm so excited for tomorrow. Only sorry that I couldn't record it's opening.
That would just be amazing to see them flower in real time. It's nice to see it in pictures or videos but I think the personal experience would be euphoric.😊
This man is very awesome ☺️ it works. Later I will get back with photos I just got out of hospital with covid and I am not going to not get my 🏡 up this year God has been here the whole time .
I've been growing Dragonfruit for a while now and can give a few pointers. 1. Dragonfruit are technically a cactus, but they are an epiphytic cactus from tropical areas with a pronounced dry and wet season. They are not from areas with constant low humidity. 2. In nature the seeds get dispersed by birds and germinate up in the branches of a tree. They grow very slowly at first using much of their energy to send roots down towards the ground. The green parts of the plant do not like to sit in moist soil. It will often cause rot. That's why I never plant them in the dirt directly anymore. Instead they prefer to send roots down to the soil. I've found the best way to start a cutting is to tie it directly to a support an inch or two above the soil and let them send the roots down. This results in far less problems with rot. 3. In my experience, they are not self pollinating. I had a single plant for years that was huge and bloomed a ton and almost never had any fruit come of it. Once my seedlings started blooming I had tons of fruit. You need two genetically distinct plants for good pollination. 4. To bloom/fruit well the plant needs to be fairly large. So if you're going to grow these in a pot and want a lot of fruit, keep in mind that you'll need to have space and a solid support structure that can accommodate a lot of long branches. A large plant can easily weigh more than a grown man.
Some variety of dragon fruit cactus are self pollinating. I've never had problems with rot planting the cuttings directly into the soil. Letting the cuttings dry for a week or more helps prevent rotting and helps roots grow faster.
That's a big time commit crop. As I watched your dedication and application of processes determined by the growth stage of each plant, it occurred to me that the first cultivators (South American, I think.) must have been just as committed and tied to their crops. We know now about their Terra Preta (Black Soil) and that the indigenous farmers didn't just wait for nature to produce their food, but used technology to create the conditions that actually enable food forests to exist. Then thinking of the commitment of ancient farmers, I can't imagine that they would have been at all interested in abandoning their crops to go off and fight as soldiers in expansionist wars. Maybe gardening cultivates peace every bit as much as prosperity and good health for all humanity and should be encouraged for everyone, especially urban dwellers. Anyway, thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience in growing Dragon Fruit. I can see it was a labor of love to nurture your plants through their entire life cycle. THAT is impressive. You earned lots of good karma merits just for that alone! By now, you must have earned enough merit to get to Brahmaloka!
@@bellosardo84 Wikipedia, Pineapple Precolonial cultivation The wild plant originates from the Paraná-Paraguay River drainages between southern Brazil and Paraguay.[2][18][19] Little is known about its domestication, but it spread as a crop throughout South America. Archaeological evidence of cultivation/use is found as far back as 1200 - 800 BC (3200-2800 BP) in Peru[20] and 200BC - AD700 (2200-1300 BP) in Mexico,[21] where it was cultivated by the Mayas and the Aztecs.[22] By the late 1400s, cropped pineapple was widely distributed and a stable component of the diet of Native Americans. The first European to encounter the pineapple was Columbus, in Guadeloupe on 4 November 1493.[23][24] The Portuguese took the fruit from Brazil and introduced it into India by 1550.[25] The 'Red Spanish [es]' cultivar was also introduced by the Spanish from Latin America to the Philippines, and it was grown for textile use from at least the 17th century.[26] Columbus brought the plant back to Spain and called it piña de Indes, meaning "pine of the Indians". The pineapple was documented in Peter Martyr's Decades of the New World (1516) and Antonio Pigafetta's Relazione del primo viaggio intorno al mondo (1524-1525), and the first known illustration was in Oviedo's Historia General de Las Indias (1535).[27]

Great plant ! I live in France, in 2007 a friend of mine bring a dragon fruit from his Vietnam trip, i keep the seeds and planted it in a pot in a glasshouse, the plant got bigger and bigger and acclimate well at 5°C in winter inside the glasshouse, it rooted through the pot into the glasshouse soil, few years later it start producing many fruits, since i was forced to remove it from the glasshouse, so i cut the roots and keep the pot inside my dining room, it is now a 13 year hold plant who grow near the window and continue to grow slowly with thin branches because the lak of sunlight. It's amazing how long this plant can survive without water.
Thanks for sharing your experience. You have given me hope. A friend gave my husband 2 transplants. I looked up how to grow and found this video. I have learned to read the comments for more info. I am in Spotsylvania, Virginia, USA. I believe we have similar weather. I will seek out a small green house for the winters! And pray for patience!! : D
Very well explained !!! And Beautifully presented you explained every thing with the best way Thanks for sharing such a informative video with us My favourite gardening channel forever !!!!! 😊
Thank you. This is my 2nd time watching your video. Before giving you a like, I've viewed at least 20 videos on the subject (I tend to go OCD on research...). Yours is the one I will use as reference. Not a single piece of information was superfluous. Please, never give us less. In fact, more information can only increase trust and loyalty to your channel (I think... or maybe it's just me). So, thank you for a great video. By the way, it's fruit bats that pollinate dragon fruits. I can only assume that moths and other nocturnal insects also contribute.

Hi, After seeded plants grow can their stems be used to regrow, “will that regrown plant fruit after 1 year “??? I intend to grow commercially can you advise how to go about ?
Thank you so very much for this video! It turns out my mother was cutting out the fruit before it turned red, and she thought it was just a flower that had wilted lol! Best video ever! And they way you stand them up, ingenious!
Yeah you can, if you live in a climate where its warm in summer then keep it outsidr in summer and bring it inside into a sunny place for winter. I do this with my dragonfruit cactus and ive had it for about 2 or 3 years now.
First time I understand the process. My first batch failed maybe too much rain (Central Florida) and not enough sun. Turned black at bottom and rotted away. Have cuttings drying out now and will try again. Thanks
wait a sec i had a moon cactus which was beheaded because the top part was rotting.... is the bottom part a dragon fruit because it looked suspiciously like the lengthy ones in the video!
I live in Kentucky (Zone 5, I think) and would like to grow the yellow variety as a house plant. Would it work if when my seedlings are large enough to put them in pots near a south-facing window? My house is heated by wood in the winter, and I can control the amount of heat going into the room by opening or closing the door. We get a lot of rain in the spring/summer/fall, so I doubt my plants would do well outside unless I kept them under some sort of cover. I don't currently have a greenhouse of any kind. Thanks.
Remember it's a cactus, so sun and heat are the most important. Try to make sure the light it gets isn't filtered by glass, as glass filters out the wavelengths plants use for photosynthesis. It's not that the plant needs heat, so much as it needs strong light (which is usually pretty warm by definition). These are subtropical so they are not frost tolerant. Basically if you can keep a banana, you can keep these (and bananas do well right up until Florida freezes). And if rain is an issue, bump up the sand portion in the soil (or substitute some pea gravel if you have a variety that is fine enough, though where I am, I also add reptile bark to my soil mixes to keep them from compacting). The main goal is that you do not want the roots to stay soggy. A drenching doesn't hurt a cactus or succulent if it has the chance to dry out fully.
In summer here in my country 40up to50degree heat even the wind and water are heat but these month is cold weather I'm afraid my new plant dragon fruit hayy I don't no I'll just pray insha'Allah come good 🤣🤣
I have no idea how I got on this video but I was panicking but this took my mind off it. 100% I appreciate this video. Maybe I'll grow a dragon fruit plant 🌵
Your videos are FANTASTIC, explain in such details, and love how organic everything you plant is! Loved to also learn about the natural pesticide from your tomato growing video! Thank you for sharing your amazing know-how!
I love this channel. Just started gardening (have a dwarf lemon tree) and even though I cannot grow dragon fruits in my region (climate here can get pretty cold ), I enjoy your videos. Keep up the awesome work.
I'm looking for the right video to propagate my Dragon fruit plant into new pots, through stem cutting.. finally i have found a very useful and good video, thanks a lot 🙏😊
You actually don’t have to keep the dragon fruit staying up you can leave it hanging down it helps and I know because I have 6 dragon fruit plants in my back yard
I love dragon fruit! We always buy organic ones when there was still a farmer's market. It's the sweetest variety we have ever tasted!!! It's heartbreaking that it had to be paused because of the pandemic. Now I don't know where to get organic dragon fruit!! Huhuhu...
Hallo Janelle - Travels Where do you live? We have lots of Dragon Fruits plants & it’s Organic,in my Home province mostly every Household have Dragon fruits plants in their garden or backyard,its easy to grow & bear fruits twice a year
Wow I'm so impressed with this video! thank you so much for teaching us the proper way! I live in Nevada so we get a lot of sun hoping to do it successfully!

Thank you for the explanation in English. I come from Malaysia. i know the dragoon fruit plant can be big. can we keep the dragon fruit plant small size style? Can we trim the dragon fruit plant in pot? if can, how do you trim it? My house is small best to plant in pot but limited space.
In my experience, all my dragon fruit plants when planted in ground always produced fruit within 6 months to a year. In the pots they took nearly two years
