@GraftingDragonFruit 9 месяцев назад

It’s one of those type where hand pollinating will be best results

@proxybox 9 месяцев назад

You inspired me. I rescued a neighbors Home Depot Hylocereus polyrhizus df sitting in the original pot and turned it into a nice plant with the trellis design you showed. It took two years but I was really excited when two flowers formed. However the first one wilted and eventually fell off the stem. The second one did the same today. The base was mushy. Did the downpour rains we had in socal cause this? I haven't watered the plant since the downpours and now we are getting small sprinkles overnight. Thanks.

@GraftingDragonFruit 9 месяцев назад

Yeah the rain could have been a factor. Also the pollination may not have been successful so it didn’t take. Did you cross pollinate?

@jonathanfukumoto6467 9 месяцев назад

@@GraftingDragonFruit I didn't cross polinate since I thought a Home Depot one would self polinate. Next time they bloom, I'll capture some pollen from a friends plant and try that. I'm still committed and am grateful for your help. My wife loves DF ever since we had the best tasting ones in Vietnam. I feel so bad for people who only get to try the bland ones sold here in Los Angeles and don't experience the full flavor.

@paulclifford6941 5 месяцев назад

@@jonathanfukumoto6467 Mosd of those sold at Home Depot are not self-fertile. Often they are Physical Graffiti, which needs cross pollination. If you can get a Vietnam White somewhere it is a very hardy and reliable pollinator. You can cross pollinate using its pollen. It self-pollinates so it's a reliable producer of very large white-fleshed fruit.

Hey there. I’m looking to start growing some dragon fruit and have been looking at what varieties are good but also what varieties are accessible to me. All I could find were: undatus, megalanthus, costaricensis. Undatus looks the best so I’d like to try that out but what about the others I’ve mentioned, are they better (or self fertile at least unlike undatus)? And if I was growing undatus could I rely on one hylocereus undatus plant pollinating (I’d do it by hand) the other? Or would I need some other hylocereus pollinater because I don’t seem to find any accessible hylocereus pollinator. Thank you for your response.

@@GraftingDragonFruit I d be curious to know what your tap ph is ? And what ppm break dow is ? I know if you bring a sample to a pool place they can analyze it for you, might have to tell them a pool size white lie 😉 Thank you for quick reply ☺️ have you ever experienced nute lock out ? Maybe I’m over analyzing things 🤔 I guess I wish I knew more about dragons plants, any way you can point me toward a dragon growers guide ☺️

@@kevinkc3onohelijeepworld953 I actually have that info either. I like to keep things as simple as possible because there’s no need to get super intricate and complicated unless you really had to. Go through all the videos on my channel. It’ll show you how to grow form A through Z 😊

Not exactly in San Diego, but I went up to visit Oceanside Dragon Fruit farm and bought some rooted cuttings.

Hey Richard. Suggestion to help make your video better. It is distracting to have background music playing while your speaking. I want to be able to hear your voice and not have it compete with background music.

@GraftingDragonFruit 9 месяцев назад

I’ll note to my editor to turn it down a little lower next time

When do dragon fruit usually start to bud? Also how much time before they bud should I tip the branches?@@GraftingDragonFruit

I picked up some free Dragon Fruit cuttings a couple years ago. They were not labeled and I didn’t think to ask what variety it was. They are now flowering. How can I tell what variety it is? I’m not sure what to do come pollination time.

@GraftingDragonFruit 29 дней назад

Unfortunately there’s no way to tell. I’d recommend cross pollinating by hand to be safe

So glad I have a bunch of American Beauty and Condor! This is my second year growing... no fruits yet. Maybe next year.

@GraftingDragonFruit 9 месяцев назад

You should get them soon. Just keep feeding and caring it. Check out my video on super blooms to prepare for next season

Thanks Riccardo for the instructive video. I follow you from Italy. I'll ask you a prayer. Why don't you make a video on Pitaya species that are self-sterile and explain which pollen is best to pollinate them with? I can't find this information here. I have several strains that are self-sterile such as Halley's Comet, Mexicana, Purple Haze, Thomson, Physical Graffiti, Delight and Zamorano. I look forward to your advice. Thanks and congratulations.

@GraftingDragonFruit 9 месяцев назад

I’ll add that to the list!
