Tip#6- use white or light colored containers or paint them so the roots don't bake in the Sun.

@mattpascualjr.2710 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for all the info Richard. I just started growing dragon fruit early this year. I was blessed with already harvesting some fruit. Just one question, why are there a lot of roots breaking through the top of the soil? And roots are also coming out of the stalk and grabbing onto the trellis.

@SmashingBricksAU 8 месяцев назад

Great video! I have a problem without dragon fruit plant, there was 5 cuttings in it and now it is at the top of the frame, and they ends are not bending/ drooping down they are snaping off. What is the best way to help a young tree during this time/how do I stop this?

@66nagarajreddy 8 месяцев назад

very informative, shall we use cocopeat + perlite? TIA

@minhn9118 8 месяцев назад

Good tips Richard. I was always wonder why the soil in the pot kept getting lower, where did they disappear. Now, I understand and best of how to keep the root/plant from suffocating. Awesome tips. thanks Richard.

Hi Richard. Great video. I'm adopting two mature dragon fruits and your videos are bringing me up to speed. I see you have a bag of vermicompost next to the Dr. Earth fertilizer. How much and how often do you side dress with vermicompost? Do you apply such simutenaously with the fertilizer?

Just starting with Dragon Fruit. Couldn't find the concrete anchors I needed in Hawaii so really liked your video using wood. For soil, our options are more limited in Hawaii. Could I use a cactus soil and mix it with compost and maybe some Miracle Grow potting soil that has moisture control? Appreciate all help.

would you recommend to remove some of the soil from the top and then top off with top soil?

@cristobalv 8 месяцев назад

Lack of moisture also compresses the soil, mulch helps.

@Zay_562 8 месяцев назад

Seemed like there were a lot of people that that wanted to know what they could do instead of switching to Gary’s because they’ve already invested so much into fox farm. I’m assuming that this video is for them.

@GraftingDragonFruit 8 месяцев назад

Yes that’s correct

@GraftingDragonFruit 8 месяцев назад

This is how I maintain my dragon fruit pots with fox farm if I didn’t have access to Gary’s top soil or planned on transitioning out

@Zay_562 8 месяцев назад

Do you allow your plants to go dormant in the winter or do you continue to fertilize?

@Blkmrkt_Bryan 8 месяцев назад

Curious about this too.

@GraftingDragonFruit 8 месяцев назад

I let them grow with the natural season cycles. Really lock down on fertilizing routine a few months before spring when budding season starts

@FullmoonEffects89 8 месяцев назад

Can dragon fruit branch grow back on the same spot? If not does that mean eventually you will have to start a brand new plant to prevent it from getting too long?

@TOMTUSA1 3 месяца назад

@@FullmoonEffects89 No,if you are talking about cuttings they can be trimmed and re rooted to establish a new plant. Make sure to see Richards video on how to prepare cuttings before rooting. you have to trim the bottom to expose the center(core) then let it dry out before planting again.

@robertc5387 8 месяцев назад

It almost seems that you are (perhaps unintentionally) offering a very good reason for planting directly in-ground rather than in pots. If the roots are going to eventually spread into the surrounding soil anyway, you’ve now lost the advantage of mobility with your pots. Once they’re permanently in place, what’s the advantage of the pot? I realize that pots are still an excellent option for those with limited or no ground space to plant, but perhaps in-ground planting should be more seriously considered for those who do have the space. Just a thought…

@GraftingDragonFruit 8 месяцев назад

Planting in ground will always be best for amazing growth and that’s true for any plants. The only reason I haven’t done it is because I had been renting homes the past few years and needed to stay mobile. I still need to stay mobile for awhile longer, but when I have everything set up, will start planting a section into the ground

@robertc5387 8 месяцев назад

@@GraftingDragonFruit That certainly makes sense - thanks for the reply. I’ve propagated a number of potted trees over the years, and can always tell when the roots have crept into the ground due to the sudden increase in healthy, vigorous growth. Unfortunately, most of us gardeners never have enough land to grow as much as we’d like, so we settle for containers. I certainly agree with you that the best and healthiest plants are usually the ones planted in the ground (assuming that the native soil, climate, and location are conducive to the plant being grown). Thanks for the great videos, I continue to learn a lot from them.

@lazyeyedwolf5284 8 месяцев назад

I wouldn't pick at it. I just squeeze the pot from all the sides . That way it cracks open the soil and then i use my hands to open it up afterwards on the top very carefully of course.

@lazyeyedwolf5284 8 месяцев назад

And as I told you In one of your live streams use an olla to water the plants. There's no possible chance of root rot even when it rains because the water in the olla only sweat water around it when the soil is dry hence no root rot

@GraftingDragonFruit 8 месяцев назад

That’s awesome. Different techniques works well too.

@tinyjungle_ 8 месяцев назад

I see no reason to add any organic matter to the potting mix if you're going to be fertilizing with organic fertilizer every two weeks. Just use a mix that won't compress or sink that has lots of gaps for air amd root growth and fertilize every two weeks.

@peetmoss3521 8 месяцев назад

Fertilizing every 2 weeks is bad advice.

@tinyjungle_ 8 месяцев назад

@peetmoss3521 I dont fertilize. Im commenting about the video. He said fertilize every 2 weeks. I said if you do that, it's virtually pointless to have organic matter in your mix.
