Ive been growing dragon fruit in greenhouses but i see one mistake you made that could help you out a lot and reduce the amount of pest that infiltrate your greenhouse, So i put double Weed Barrier where i set my greenhouses and made sure to put enough metal stakes to keep the Barrier tight and i can proudly say i never seen one slug since i set them up and where i live i get Massive Leopard Slugs that used to get my outside zinnias all the times, but i found how to keep em off any plant, just Wrap Pure copper mesh around the base Trunk on any plant and wrap a 4” inch section, doesn’t have to be too wrapped once or twice will do, just make sure its tight but not too tight where it will damage the Plant, Hope This Help and Love your Channel, Keep up the Good Work!!!

That's a baby slug. The slug trails leave glitter that's how you know where they have been.

@maxtrees4097 Месяц назад

Slugs like hiding under the pot too.

@GraftingDragonFruit Месяц назад

I need to start looking under those as well

@pppeeettteeerrr Месяц назад

This is when i take a huge jar of sluggo and fling them in every single direction including the neighbors yard lol.

@Gojo_the_honored_rat Месяц назад

So that's whats been eating my plant. Thanks, great video.

Hope you catch them! Thanks for watching

@Hyasbountifulgarden Месяц назад

I love the size of your greenhouse. Where did you buy it? Can you share the link pls

@askor2000 Месяц назад

I've been sprinkling a little iron phosphate and setting it in small containers around the general area if I didn't want it to get watered or on the soil. Had a major snail and slug epidemic this past winter and this stuff worked for me

@GraftingDragonFruit Месяц назад

Nice!! Glad you found a solution. I’ll add iron phosphate to my list to try

@rui4872 Месяц назад

Did you notice any difference in palora fruit flavour grafted vs own roots? Thanks a lot

@antoniolopezsayas8157 Месяц назад

we have the same problem in spain, its typical in humid places. Its really easy to destroy and control.

@antoniolopezsayas8157 Месяц назад

you can use diatomaceous earth arroun the plant to prevent. And products with ferric phosphate to destroy them

@GraftingDragonFruit Месяц назад

Yeah will look into these products to keep the pests at bay

@swarnandrapradesh1 Месяц назад

Last night i went out to check whats eating my new dragon shoots? Found slugs & snails wandering whole area, i spread slug pellets that I bought from Bunnings ( Australia), hoping to control the pest. Another friend suggested spread saw dust around the plants, slugs n snails hate saw dust. Also read somewhere to spread salt on the ground. Will try the other two remedies as well.

@nathanrubio3609 Месяц назад

I have seen somewhere that they use copper fencing to deture the slugs a d snales from climbing up the trees and saplings.

@GraftingDragonFruit Месяц назад

I haven’t seen that yet but I’ll look into it

@EdwardZhen-g7o Месяц назад

I use sluggo and it’s organic too. Works great for me. Caterpillars are also eating my dragon fruit.

@nimh168 27 дней назад

I noticed some nibbling from the tips of young shoots, but not what caused it. Today though I see ants are eating away at those areas. How do you stop the ants without harming my dragonfruit stems?

@gestiongmcg3717 Месяц назад

Some ants in southern Europe eat the roots and young green tissues too...

@GraftingDragonFruit Месяц назад

Those are some vicious ant species!

@Bvsterrrrrrrrr 27 дней назад

Slugs like cool damp and dark place

@smurfdog74 Месяц назад

Just use some Sluggo - works great and it’s all organic!

@GraftingDragonFruit Месяц назад

I need to grab some soon!

@williamfletcher7288 Месяц назад

Yeah, I use Sluggo Plus, which also takes care of the cutworms that damage my veggie seedlings. It works and is a lot less problematic than conventional pest control chemicals.

@timmillan6701 Месяц назад

That’s what I use - and I am in Slugland -western Washington. They haven’t got to my dragonfruit yet, but they are a big problem on many plants here

@360revolucion8 29 дней назад

OMG there were zero slugs or snails when I moved into the current place in 2017 and my housemate grows or edibles that no one wants to eat except for the rats and squirrels, makes his own compost but in the grossest way (better to purchase at times) and I don't know if it's the compost or the beer making in the basement or if he got them for the chickens to eat but this year we I have seen huge fat slugs in the backyard (where compost, chickens, and his ugly pants are including in the basement. I had brought it to his attention that whatever he is doing is bringing in slugs and will kill his plants (planted in ground, and pots) unless he's feeding them to the chickens (I don't think he was or chickens do not eat slugs). Then I noticed small, thinner, even baby slugs in the front porch where I keep my potted plants. OH hell no 😡 a slug invasion AND some in the house now. I was used to hunting for 🕷️🕷️ (having your face walk across unexpected webs on the daily is annoying at times scary when you see the actual creator is nearby) flies, mosquito 🦟 🦟 fruit flies, anything pest I'll kill you. So yeah I've been stomping away, when they're fat ones that I don't want their juice on my shoes I 🧂🧂. And when it's getting dark you can see our front stairs and porch, backyard wall and basement glitter from the slug trail. When he leaves items on the floor I show him all the slugs gathering on what he left (I thought it might be a slug trap but nope). He does nothing about it until I 🤬 find slugs in my potted plants and indoor plants (yes inside the house). Is he doing it on purpose? Well I know he brought them to the property somehow because I've taken pictures of various items he leaves on a plate on the floor with a gathering of slugs at night and the eventual glitter that comes about from slug mucus. 🤬.

@Langhorstiness Месяц назад

Put a shallow bowl or pie plate flush with the ground and pour in beer. Slugs and snails are attracted to the smell of beer and then drown in it.

@GraftingDragonFruit Месяц назад

Thanks for the tip. Never heard of that before

@SaulSP23 Месяц назад

@@Langhorstiness Doing this is not Good Because not only are you killing the Slugs in your area but attracting the Slugs from surrounding areas making the plagues worse in the long run, I Rather Keep the Beer in my Belly because theres other methods for Control that don’t include pesticides or attractants.

I was trying to get a different variety of dragon fruit from your website but everything is " out of stock" I'm from LA and was wondering if anyone knows where I could get some pollen or different variety plant so I could pollinate my self sterile one😢 please and thank you

@GraftingDragonFruit thank you. I appreciate your reply , I am new to these, and I meant to start this as well as I can

@sandychan2864 Месяц назад

Hi do you know why dragon fruits will have a spot where it split open while it is still on the plant? Could it be because it gets too ripe before I pick it?

@GraftingDragonFruit Месяц назад

Hi Sandy, yes it could be too ripe or the heat causing it to burst before it's ready.

Why don't you put some granules of snail/slug bait at the base of your dragon fruit plants, what do you do about aphids and ants, I've learned so much from your videos..Rick in Westminster

アブラムシには、ニーム油薄め液噴霧で野菜には有効でした。というより、ドラゴンフルーツにアブラムシ付いたの見たことありません。
