Thanks Richard for great information concerning Dragon fruit farming. I tell you I've gone through more of your videos and I'll never get tired, tis just unfortunately that my country has no or very few people doing dragon fruit farming. & because of your of your knowledge, av managed to purchase some two dragon cuttings from Kenya 🇰🇪. More love From Malawi 🇲🇼
I am glad I found you and I have learned alot how to look after my dragon fruit. And I am building my trellis for another dragon fruit at my backyard. All the best from Sydney, Australia. My big dragon fruit is making alot of fruits around 16, I am happy. Chaos
Hi Richard I wish you were in Florida. I am disabled so I can't do the heavy work of growing anymore but I'd gladly buy fruit from you! I still love to watch your videos!
Already fertilized once around 2nd to last week of Feb... trimmed a little too... in LA County (562 area)... already having 70°+ days... the nights are chilly but not enough to stop growth.. most everything either never stopped growing this winter or just slowed down 😁🙌🌵 1 year + 1 month in since 1st finding df at home depot then finding this channel...
Absolutely perfect video I needed to watch :) I'm right at the stage where new growth is coming on, and as a first time dragonfruit grower, I had no idea, til this video, what to do and how to give the plants the best opportunity. One question about the garden tape - why doesn't it inhibit the growth of the trunks? I'm using rubber garden cord and I'm worried I'm going to cut off the growth of the stalks.
Hi Richard, it’s Peter from Western Australia, I’m happy to say I’ve managed to grow my first few dragon fruit to maturity, however...I wish to ask if you could kindly explain why some fruit on the same plant grows to maturity but is very small compared. Thank you, regards Peter of Shoalwater Western Australia.
Hi Richard my name is Kevin, your videos have helped me so much, I'm a beginner I'm going to build two trellises the way you instruct on your video and start with them, I'm going to need some cuttings obviously and I suppose that means I would start with 8 total cuttings, again per your video, do you have a favorites list of varieties, and I wouldn't mind some of them being self sterile, I would actually enjoy learning how to help the plants get pollinated, collecting pollen and so forth. Anyways thanks for your consideration, and keep up the good work, you're very cheerful and always carry a lot of joy in your videos and that is beautiful!
Just start to watching your video. Love it👍👍👍I’m going to share your video with my lazy hubby 😂😂hopefully he’ll learn some tips from you😉thank you Richard n have wonderful weekend 💕
Wow! This is awesome informative on this type of plant. I've been wondering wth is wrong with my 3 year old plant. It has never fruited for me at all. Thank you! New subscriber.
I looking to buy some of your dragon fruit trees pls. I really want the yellow dragon fruit trees bc they are my favorite. Would love it if it’s already well rooted too. Tysm for making your videos! I am learning so much from you.
I always watching your video , could you please give me a fertilization program of dragon fruit , coz i just start to plant in my backyard but i dont know what kind of fertilizer suit for this fruits
Hey! Thanks for putting this video out! I just started growing my four dragonfruit varieties, and they've just rooted. I think my plants took longer to root (I planted them in December) because recently here in Louisiana the temperatures got around 10 degrees fahrenheit, so I had to bring them inside frequently and they didn't get a lot of sun. I'm actually going to use tomato trellises when I transplant them from their little pots that I put them in for the winter to move them around easily. What are your thoughts on using trellises?
Yo, I was tripin bad. First, I heard a someone say something and I ask my wife, (you said something), she replied no.. next I heard banging on my 🚪. I got up (all hell mad), like, who the hell is banging on my door like they the 👮♂️. Bty, I had my headset on the entire time.. yo, Richmond, you got me. Well at least, your back ground noise did. Lol good upload, I call dibs on the cutting...🤣
I got my first dragon fruit a few months ago, I had to go leave it for a week so my aunt who has a bad hip took care of it (it's still small in a hanging pot), I had already watered it and i didn't feel safe leaving the blinds open and it just needed the sun. I feel like a mother who had to spend a week from their newborn it grow so much. It has 3 shoots that are really long but I'm terrified of it getting bigger and not having a big enough pot for it.
He should’ve said YOU DONT HAVE TOO cut and prune these to make them faster. It’s just a preference. It will make it grow faster yes. But it’s not for everyone you can compare with a cut and NON cut. Sell the growth. I would like to see that video. A plant you didn’t cut all summer. A cutting. And another which you cut and topped. Which is faster
How do these plants deal with a colder climate? I have fairly mild but long winters, most nights stay above -5C or 25F and most days stay above 0C or 32F.
I've just plant mine 5days already from Philippines dragon fruit cutting I'm in UAE up to knaw I'm not put water coz the weather here is cold I'm afraid if I've water to much ..
Hey Richard !Thanks for all ! But I do have a Question ! Why Is i that you have more then one VARIETY in 1 pot ? Is it best to keep all the same variety in same pot ?
They say it is almost impossible to tell them apart once they grow into each other. I have one pot with mixed cuttings though (all where I don't know which variety they are)
I grow different variety in 1 pot to maximize my space. This is also to see if I like the variety enough to put multiple of it in one pot. The issue will be they can get mixed up as they mature but if you’re good at keeping track of what branch is which variety then you’ll be okay.
Great video, I planted four dragon fruit in a pot that looks to small, how do I remove them and transplant into a 20 gal pot without too much damage. You’re awesome.
Hi Richard, last fall I purchased a Physical Grafitti and a Edgar’s Baby. I am following your instructions for pruning. I’m hoping to get at least one fruit this year. Will the fruit form on this years growth or last years? Can fruits form on the same area multiple times?
Hi Richard, could you make a short video on ants on the flower buds, good or bad and how to deal with them. Thanks, I enjoy your short videos for a quick informational session. Keep it up!
With the recharge do we use it every time that we fertilize, so every 7-10 days as well? Just got my first dragon fruit January been battling sun burns and rats :( Thanks for all the help this channel has been!
hi Richard, many thanks for new information again and again. please tell me , how much possible to come new shoots again in the same point you cut / prune the branches or buds ?
Hey, I'm growing my own dragon fruit at home in UK. Not sure if everything goes right as my branch is growing really thin (looks less that 1 inch). Not sure if I should cut it and wait for new branch or just leave it? Thank you for any advice
Nice videos man! I grow just the basic white meat variety. I think in one of your videos you mentioned that you are in Southern California. Can I buy some yellow variety cuttings from ya?
This came right on time because I planted mine last fall too (I'm in FL 10a) and while they are well-rooted, out of 7 cutting I only have like 4 total new small nodes, so I'm really hoping they take off now that it's heating up. Question: my new growth is more yellow than the main cutting and I have some orange rust. I'm treating the rust with copper, but what does new growth looking yellow mean? Thanks
In my humble opinion...the consideration to sacrifice so many side shoots to reach the trellis top in an earlier time frame seems flawed. The plant won't fruit till it reaches its maturity age foe fruiting which is around nine months. So letting multiple shoots grow together would result in a healthy and esthetically appealing branch structure and umbrella while the plants ages and matures for fruiting.
Great series . I have successfully grown dragon fruit seedlings from store bought Ecuador Polara and Vietnam Red. I have limited space and want to grow them on my palm tree in South Florida. I am trying not to put nails into the tree to support a trellis style top. However, I am unable to find any suitable tree collars, so I am looking for ideas from the community. Thanks
Would it be ok to plant four different types of dragon fruit plants in the same pot with a square support in the middle or would it be better to plant 4 separate pots with 4 plants of the same kind in each pot
Richard, Enjoy watch your video and experience.❤ I have ordered some dragon fruit cut from Etsy last two weeks but could not find your Grafting Dragon Fruit store ? How could I contact you to have some more ordering to your store. Thanks. .
Is there a specific type of marker you use to label directly on your cuttings? I wasn't sure if a standard permanent marker would be a bad idea for any reason. Thank you for the wonderful informative videos. I'm just about to get started with dragon fruit this year and I'm trying to get as much info as I can before I order cuttings/plants
@@GraftingDragonFruit hey, I have a question, where did you purchase your different varieties cutting from? I started some seeds and you know how long that process is.
Can someone tell me what the fertilizer and good bacteria used in the video. Followed the cuttings and it is actually growing. Hopefully I can get a fruit. Had the plant for 3 years and nothing

🤗💜💜💜thank you...been growing from seeds, for about one year...
Just started! Watch lots of your videos. We have a yellow, Am. Beauty, and a Guadalupe. Going to order pots and build trellises.
Good luck!
Was wondering why a dragon fruit tutorial has so many views. But once i watched, i knew why. Great vid man, you just got another sub.
Thanks Richard. You have a good day.🙂🙂🙂
Excellent instructions as usual Richard. Can we get some of your cuttings gs of each? Thank you inadvance.
Since I've seen this video I caught some idea on how and which branch need to be prune or cut out.
Hi from Croatia
Hi from California!
Awesome video bro 👍🏼
Awesome, thanks! I need to check if my cuttings have roots yet.
Just give them a little wiggle and see if they are hanging on tight. Also the plump of them will get thicker as another sign of root developed!
Perfect timing on the video! My sugar dragon and american beauty arrived today 😍
Awesome!!!!
Yes, if you start selling I’d like to purchase being I’m in Cali too.
I’m working on a website and probably will start and Etsy store soon while it’s in the works.
@@GraftingDragonFruit any updates on that?
@@GraftingDragonFruit Thank you. Looking forward to purchasing the sweet ones
@@GraftingDragonFruit I'd love to pre-order some cuttings! get that site going!
Do you have cuttings if all the different types u have?? I want to get a bunch of different kinds.

Here in my State of Northeast of MIZORAM almost 60% of us grows them,maybe because of our soil we are lucky 🙋🙋🙋

Hi Richard, I'm watching from Portugal, thanks for all the information.
I had blooms they closed up and fell off ,now looks like more are coming . Some were little green balls and turned yellow and real damp
Hi Richard. You can buy the tabo at Daiso like I did. Can’t wait for the next episode and the new season.

I haven’t got any buds yet. My DF are still recovering from the Jan storm. Can I use FloraNova Grow to help them branching out?
Yes you can
You should also grow prickly pear cactus or guavas
Great video, I planted four dragon fruit in a pot that looks to small, how do I remove them and transplant into a 20 gal pot without too much damage. You’re awesome.

Yes.And the fruits comes continuously for 4/5 months.
Can you give some info where to get all fertilizes and the compost soils for the pot
Hey Richard, is this still the way your fertilizing your dragon fruit today or have you switched anything up?
When dragon fruit reaches trellis trim cut top and it will branch? And cascade by itself or tie to aid cascading?
Hi Richard, could you make a short video on ants on the flower buds, good or bad and how to deal with them. Thanks, I enjoy your short videos for a quick informational session. Keep it up!
They are gud..helps in pollination..
Can you make a video on how to prepare your root stocks for grafting? Love the videos and learning a lot 👍
Yes, this is a good idea! On my list to create 👍🏼
Hi, am from Philippines watching your video, My dragon fruit tip become yellowish, what shall i do.
Shout out to the tabo
awsome video !
Hello sir 🌹, assunta 5 is cross pollination, red flower and white flower,
Hi Richard, how long does it takes a cutting of this to have its fruit ?
Is there any equivalent of that fertiliser mix that I would use in Australia?
Where do I find your cool watering cup
Nice, how many months it took to reach this stage of height? . Second question in general how many months will it take to reach to create top canopy?
With the recharge do we use it every time that we fertilize, so every 7-10 days as well?
Just got my first dragon fruit January been battling sun burns and rats :(
Thanks for all the help this channel has been!
Was your dragon fruit cutting already rooted?
hey if you are putting all those cuttings on the trash...I will love to have them....start all over after the killer frost we had in Tx
hi Richard, many thanks for new information again and again. please tell me , how much possible to come new shoots again in the same point you cut / prune the branches or buds ?
Once you cut/break the branch in that area can’t grow again. Unless you didn’t break it all the way and sometimes a growth can come back.
@@GraftingDragonFruit so nice of you Richard.
How often do you water the Dragon fruit?please let me know thanks.
hi sir
Hey, I'm growing my own dragon fruit at home in UK. Not sure if everything goes right as my branch is growing really thin (looks less that 1 inch). Not sure if I should cut it and wait for new branch or just leave it? Thank you for any advice
Maybe your dragon fruit needs fertilizer or more sun.
Nice videos man! I grow just the basic white meat variety. I think in one of your videos you mentioned that you are in Southern California. Can I buy some yellow variety cuttings from ya?
Hey @richard ..you gonna keep all plants for next 25 years ??
Where do you get your 20 gallon containers?
I normally get them at my local hydroponic store.
Once you transfer the plant into the bigger pot, how long does it take for it the start growing to get to the top of the trellis?
What is the name of the fertilizer! I can’t understand what you said . And where I can buy it ? Please tell me where I can find it ! Thank you
Nice and educational video as always 👍
Thank you!
