Very confuse !!!
What if just one plant is soft and the others are normal
Well done sir
Why dont they teach this in school's
Are you growing them in compost soil?
Most interesting Thanks.
I want to ask you my after it bloom I feel off I don’t know why can you tell me please
I noticed the dragonfruits in the back, I bought some cuttings a few months ago and they’ve been doing great but one of my American beauties keeps getting root rot, it’s only the American beauty that gets it I’ve already cut it and had it dry out twice before replanting it and it rotted again, do you think it was just a bad cutting or should I worry about my other cacti too
@JulianInclan-Valdez Some cuttings are just more finicky than others. I've once had a cutting sit for a whole year before it rooted. You could try rooting the cutting in pure water instead of soil. You should find it easier to root the cutting in water as long as you consistently replace the water every few days.
The outside is edible? Like the fibery looking outside? The inside does look like a coconut! It's that part edible? If so - what does it taste like? What's its usage/purpose? (For us or for the plant)
@crystaljankowski7518 It is! It has a mushy texture and tastes like fruit loops to me, although the fibers themselves are not edible. The inside tasted like a coconut with much milder flavor; interesting to see, but not worth getting into haha. People here in California mainly plant the trees for ornamental purposes and often overlook the fruit of the tree.
@@cactiman3282 I think many have plants for novelty vs actual usage 🤗 thank you for such a quick and informative reply!
@crystaljankowski7518 True! I'm always interested in the usage part myself haha.
Where can i buy pollen?
Thank you bro. First time owning a dragon fruit. I missed the window and I don't know if they self pollinate or not...🫤. I guess I have to wait a week to find out 🤞
@@PhongFoodieAdventure Don't feel bummed man, there'll be plenty more flowers! Good luck!
Could you ship me two cuttings?
@@bugbunny1306 Sure! Message me at Cactimanyt@gmail.com for more details.
This is the exact same one on your other video that you say one of it is successful pollinated
@Mannyman2023 Yeah, unfortunately many things can go wrong with plants. Even fruits that are a week away from being ripe can be aborted. It's the dragon life 🐲
My dragon fruit from the same plant has lots of waves, and some grow out, not so wavy.
@@Mannyman2023 Good observation! As with most things, there will be exceptions. These are just things that I've noticed from growing my plants that I think could help people in their ID-ing process.
The bottle says it is organic. I called the company and they said a lot of misleading info on it.
I thought dragon trees loved the sun? So conflicting
@@RB-mr6cr Not too much sun! They grow under trees in the wild, so they get at least some shade during the day, and not constant sun throughout the day as some believe.
Does the one under the tree produce as well as trellised in full sun though??
Very nice
Very nice
Very useful information. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for useful information.
It means, if we remove a bud from a node, again there is chance of budding again?
Thank you for this useful information.
Any way I can buy a cutting and you can include pollen to pollinate my Ax flower ? It’s my first flower so no pollen here. It sprouted on 7/1 so likely will open mid august I hope.
@@kevinkc3onohelijeepworld953 I think I can do that! Message me at Cactimanyt@gmail.com
Great tips! My only suggestion would be to compare the ripe dragon fruit with an almost ripe fruit rather than a green one (which everyone knows is t ripe.)
I use a Qtip
Is it self-fertile?
@jylee4808 Unfortunately not, but I still think it's worth having!
i wants to send you pic of my dragonfruit saplings, but i cant send you any pic/vids i cant identify if it is yellow or not
@@ME-iz8hf you can always message me at Cactimanyt@gmail.com!
hello
i cant send you my pic ,i want to ask you if it is yellow branch or not
Does dragon fruit only start flowering when the branches grow down/around the trellis ? The downwards growth makes it flower?
Dragon fruit grow flowers when they have enough vegetative growth, so the more your dragon fruit weighs, the higher the chances of getting flowers. Other factors are involved, and it is possible to have flowers on very small plants, but vegetative mass is generally the most important factor. 🐉
@@cactiman3282 thank you for your response!
Could I pollinate undatus with megalanthus? Undatus being white and megalanthus being yellow.
Theoretically yes, since they are different species, but megalanthus is generally regarded as a poor pollinator for anything that isn't also megalanthus.
@@cactiman3282 thank you
Thank you for showing this, too many do not show the failures, and make it seem like everything should be super easy
Thank you for the comment! Yup, I always say that youtube always shows you the very best takes, and not the constant struggle that happens behind the scenes. I'm happy to show others my mistakes to make sure they learn from it :)
The burlap I got on Amazon doesn't have squares that let light through like the home depot version. I'm a new grower with 10 trellis I setup this season. So far no sun burn with 90-100 temp this week in the Inland Empire. It does a good job of shading the lower branches as well.
Looking good.
A lot of what you've said made sense to me because I shifted my trelis and the side that is fully exposed to full day sun is now covered with yellow spots and cactus rust. Guess I have to change it back😢
That sucks to hear! Yup, stress has a lot to do with the health of your plant. The good news is that rust isn't too bad for your plant, so keep it growing!
@@cactiman3282 can we use Moss stick for dragon fruit plant? just same as we use for money plants or photos
I noticed that you shears is full of rust. When you do tipping or cutting does it contaminate the dragon fruit??
Not at all! You should always disinfect your shears before you use them, but rusty shears won't transfer any rust to the plant as metal rust is not the same at all as the rust you find on a plant. Happy growing!
Can i spray neem oil + water
I did that put the bucket in my shed. Went to check the cuttings and the water completely evaporated. The bucket had burn marks and warped the plastic.
Yes, that's the unfortunate risk with using this method. What method do you use now?
My cutting has rooted and is now growing out not one, but two new branches on the top. Twins. Should I cut one of or let it go? Thank you
Good info thank you 😊
When do you know it's time to pot mature cuttings that you've started rooting in water? I have three that I've gotten to sprout roots and new branches, so I think they're ready, but they've been rooting less than a month, so I'm hesitant to pot them this quickly. Thanks for any advice you're able to give, and I love your content!
Hello! A good rule of thumb is that they're ready to plant once they start putting out new growths. I personally like to plant them whenever I get around to it haha, growths or not. Happy growing.
@cactiman3282 ok, thanks for the info!
Thank you! I'm rooting some mature cuttings, and I had 2 Buds form on a couple that I figured turned to branches but couldn't confirm until I saw this. Thanks again!
Bro I have a question? I have a cutting it has no roots yet and it growing a branch but it's getting thin why is that
Is it in dirt? Could be that it's using all of its energy to grow the branch, and it's becoming skinny because of little to no water intake on account of it not having roots. I would try either rooting in water or possibly cutting off the branch to force it to grow roots. 🐲
Thank you for giving us such a simple answer. I've been trying to figure out how to tell the difference for a while now. I hope you got some yummy fruits off this one.
Your plants look great
How long does it take to go away?
The rust takes around 2 weeks to die, but rust unfortunately forms scars and the plants never goes back to how it originally looked.
Thanks man!@@cactiman3282
Hello, I am in the southern hemisphere. We are at the end of the growing season. My question is that I have a branch that reaches only 4 inches above the trellis, the same one you have. Should I cut the tip? Or better to leave it and cut it next spring? Thanks
4 galons for a single pot? isn't that too much?
No amount of water, as a single factor, is too much. What usually causes problems is for the soil to be too wet for too long. I found at the time that 4 gallons for my 20 gallon pot every 3 weeks or so was perfect for me. Happy growing 🐲
🙂@@cactiman3282
