I can't tell you how much I appreciate the effort that went into this video! The time spent and the patience and editing, to give us the full run. I also appreciate your honesty and your willingness to say, "that was wrong, don't do that, do this". The best is when it works and you talk through a smile. It makes me excited to try! Thanks from the Northern Hemi! 😉

@nickthorne5872 Год назад

My. Goodness. Your videos are fantastic. Always stunned by how much I enjoy them. At first I was like, "a 40 minute video on dragon fruit? Eh. I'll probably never grow dragon fruit, but it's a Hoocho video so it should still be cool." And I was right. It delivered on the enjoyment. The dragon fruit meal on the tree stump with the dogs and your gardens in the background was the cherry on time. The word "Serenity" comes to mind. Thank you.

Just found you on RU-vid a few days ago, I love gardening and growing vegetables and fruits for my family, but I have never tried hydroponics. So, as you recommend, I started Googling to learn more, and your videos kept popping up! Man, you do an amazing job with your videos! They are incredibly informative and you have such a methodical approach. You have a soothing demeanor and just enough humor to balance out your technical advice. I have already learned so much from your videos, including seeing your mistakes or changes you would recommend to the process. Likely saved me years of trial and error! Didn’t mean to write you a book, lol, but I just was so impressed I felt like reaching out to let you know you have another huge fan! Thank You! Wayne J Sheridan, TX, USA

Hii Hoocho , In India , instead of pvc pipe cement or concert poles are used to support the plants . On the cement pole the plant roots gets more good grip . And talking about the video it is best and informative .

My first taste of dragon fruit came in 1996 on a trip to Vietnam. I was extremely impressed. And I am very impressed with the work and effort you've put into this project. I have tasted the yellow variety, and I have found that to be superior.

@marcosmnm Год назад

so ive been looking at methods of how i want to plant my own dragon fruit and in the search i came across your video . i love the trellising system you made and i dont thing the pvc was a bad choice .i came across another video with the same problem , the way he solved it was by adding medium inside the pvc all the way ,and drilling holes all along the sides to the top . the roots found their way into the holes on the pvs and it gave his plants additional root mass all inside of the post .i think i have to combine both of your methods to make a system for myself so thank you for making your content , its much appreciated .

@kevinthomas8417 16 дней назад

Enjoyed the video and liked the ruse when you cut the fruit open on the surface where you had put an axe. I thought: 'Oh! Oh! He needs an axe to cut it open. That must be why it's called a Dragon Fruit?' Brilliant video.

Loved that you involved your dad too, cracking chap for getting involved and trying something he’d not had before. Please keep hydroponicing. As I’m new, I’d appreciate a video on spotting signs things are not going right and how to fix it. I’m sure it’s nutrients though I’ve copied your numbers my toms are fine but all cucumbers have yellowed and died. Also info on when to use which media?

@aussielass5621 Год назад

I live on Darwin, Australia. Love, loved your video. I like the pvc poles as centre support, made it easier to attach the wooden crown. Would untreated hard wood work for top. My plant is planted in the ground, growing up a star picket growing over a pergola. It must be nearly 2 yrs old now. Had one fruit but fell off. I'm interested in the NPK of your hydroponic treatment you are using. Wonder if available in Australia. Is it specific for cactus or a general mix. There are lots of videos on RU-vid on how to hand fertilize the dragonfruit. Looking forward to more videos. Will definitely check out your other ones.

@adammcgeorge3538 Год назад

You could drill a few small holes into the pvc to let the plant roots into grip it better, but it’s probably not necessary. I hand pollinate at night when the flower opens as we lack good pollinators in my location. Works most of the time. I personally prefer the set the pot on a post or stump and forget all about the trellis it works great and they fruit sooner, but will probably never achieve the sheer mass of vertical trellis plants, which is fine by me.

@goodcitizen4587 Год назад

Excellent points about google searches are crap as sites use SEO to get to the top, where they push generic/wrongish info and are a honey pot of sponsored links.

@rossevans1035 Год назад

Great video and I am now planning my own dragon fruit plantings. A query though, as you have described your top watering/nutrient feeding in the video. What is the need or purpose in having the pvc down pipe under the plantings? Is there still a need for some wicking or was this just part of your initial experimenting when starting out?

Hey Mitch great video. I’m in Darwin and I’ve been growing DF for about 4 years now with 4 poles and 3 plants on each pole I’ve got 2 pole ful sun and 2 poles partial shade and I find that the poles in full sun produce better. I’m not growing them hydroponically at the moment but I’m about to redo 2 of my poles so I’m thinking I might convert them to hydro in the process I’ve got 90mm pvc poles and I wrapped them with heshan cloth and the DF’s don’t have a issue with the air roots sticking to that… Do you think it’s worth doing the RGG scenario or still go with self watering from above?

@N1ghtR1der666 Год назад

awesome job, I would love to have seen a comparison to fruit grown in the ground or some other normal way, and I hate to be the one to bring up money but what do you think it cost to bring that much fruit to bare?

If you are keen to grow more dragon fruit make sure you try the red ones they tend to have more flavour, yellow are somewhere in between red and white.

@sammaimas155 11 месяцев назад

Hi Hoocho. What size pot did you use. Do you have a link to the pots you are using for the dragon fruits. Thanks a lot. You should have got some red fleshed varieties as well, as they have a beautiful mildly sweet flavour and the kids love it. They grow well at our place, just throw a pile cuttings on the ground and they will take off by themselves with no watering at all.

@davegunner2717 Год назад

Thank you 🙏❤

@stevenfaber3896 Год назад

Hey new around here, dedication is strong with you. Wondering - If you're going to push it for cutting, and flowering, it seems to have a roughly specific around all the varieties, 45-55 degree angle that it seems to sense is flower/fruiting time... Cut them 5' high and let the crowns be the flower? Could that have shaved off X months of growing?

@cherrylicious8772 Год назад

wow amazing. loved this vid. so.. i found a plant on my sisters partners property, and it was loaded with these massive red flowers. the plant looks exactly like the one in the vid. but.. is it a dragon fruit? mm.. not sure.. is there another plant that looks the same but isnt dragon fruit?, i have tried lookin on the net. but it just shows me the white/yellow flower and then lost of the fruit pics. maybe im not asking the right questions. not sure how else to say it. lol. would love some feed back. if possible. thanks in advance. :)

@roelofversluis6680 Год назад

The scoria adds needed weight, id use something heavier than perlite.

@SimaShangde Год назад

The result is spectacular and the growth pace unparalleled, comparing to other cacti and even some vegetables. Have you ever considered planting dragonfruits next to the trees? That would be so cool to enhance the entire woods with cacti shoots growing on the trees.

@aussielass5621 Год назад

A friend where I live has her dragonfruit planted near a huge tree. It fruits prolifically, I have some cuttings Planted one in the ground about 2 years old not fruiting atm.

@jonathanwong5543 Год назад

Sic video mate, getting to watch the whole process from cutting to fruit was amazing dedication to the art of growing food! How long do you think the non-treated pine will last and what would you do if they start to rot and not be able to support the plant anymore? Do you think Hardwood would be a better choice?

@Hoocho Год назад

Definitely a better choice!

@tobybromley3980 11 месяцев назад

Have you thought about saving the pollen from your flowers so you can pollinate the flowers of your fruit anytime they bloom, pollen can last for ages in the fridge and coming onto 2 years in the freezer. Ive only just started my dragonfruit journey but have done this with other flowers. Very informative vid, many thanks.

@MarioFrustration11 Год назад

Awesome video! How do you feel about putting growing media inside the pvc post which also get a watering, and drilling holes so that the aerial roots can go inside the structure for more nutrients?

@Hoocho Год назад

This was actually the original plan, but I pivoted with the addition of the tops due to the posts being down the middle.

@user-sf2qx9im3n 10 месяцев назад

Did you ever try this? Seems like a great idea. I was thinking his design could stay exactly the same, still using the PVC, and the drilled holes would provide an achor for roots PLUS get extra nutrient intake from the interior of the pipe being watered from above. All the roots would then be uptaking water. The only thing I would be concerned with is mold growing inside the vertical pipes or perhaps root rot? The moist dark environment inside the pipe (with sunlight coming in through the holes) might trigger mold growth. Interesting thoughts to consider. I can’t wait to duplicate what Hoocho has done here and hopefully replicate his success!

@Nerdysaxophoneplaya 8 месяцев назад

I have an idea @Hoocho. What about drill lots of 4mm holes in the PVC for the roots to poke through, and putting a micromister at the centre of each PVC tube top. You could have an aeroponic quality added to your set up

@sheilamaer.amigable4859 Год назад

What size of pots did you used?

@michaeld954 Год назад

Can dragon fruit grow on a lattice like fence

@mikealthomas1 Год назад

You can screw lengths of wood into the PVC, so the roots can take hold of that. You can use either screws or bolts(if you want to go straight through the PVC and have wood on either side, and not worry about the weight of the plants(from the video, I don’t think that is a concern…but you can confirm).

@inspiredproduce Год назад

I love the systems and the overview but that much work for a handful of fruit seems crazy to me. All hail strawberries & tomatoes 😂 (fast turn around)

@Hoocho Год назад

I agree in principle, but the first flush of fruit is pretty poor, and I should’ve said that in the video. Next year will produce more and every year after too. It is a lot of work. But with some of the automatic irrigation systems I have planned I think we can make it very easy 😉

@hereslukas 3 месяца назад

Hey mate, just a thought I had when you’d mentioned the PVC pipe and the roots not attaching. I wonder if it would be worth designing a 3D printable sleeve that you can slip over the outside of your PVC pipe with a grippy pattern or holes in it so that the roots can grip that. Just thinking for those that already have started this project using PVC pipe or have a bunch of pipe sitting around. It’d almost be a variant of your moss pole design.
