Applying liquid fertilizers to my Dragon Fruit plants
I would like to ask you how long it will get the fruits?
It takes around 3 months for a bud to become a harvestable fruits. The particular variety and weather affects the duration.
Appreciate your enthusiasm 😂 and attitude. Enjoyment is key to a good life. May you live long and prospered. Love the drsgon fruit. I started my dragon fruit journey in 2019 and continued to these days. Sonetimes, I wonder why I put myself thru this. Good combination and combo hobby with the wife. I'm also a Libra but my wife and I are opposite in most way. She enjoys the DF blooming and eating portion. Best of luck and continue the joy brother!
Congratulations on 1k subs wish I could get enough to do a live ☺️ I posted a fall update to my Dragon grow, sadly my orchard doesn’t compare to your beautiful canopy’s but maybe next year i will get flowers 🙏🤞☺️
I guess I am like u Charlie, growing for fun only one flower which aborted due to heat. Getting ready to build a bigger green house to keep my pots warm dry and under LED maybe a HPS to help warm the new greenhouse. Pray for flowers n fruit next year 😊
Thanks for the update Charlie. I subscribed quite a while ago and have enjoyed your content. I have made several versions of your data log. I log the date that I discover each bud, the date that they bloom, the pollen/ mix used to pollinate them, harvest date, fruit weight and brix reading. I’m in Texas, along the lower Gulf Coast. From bud to bloom is about 15-17 days. From bloom to ripe is 30 to 40 days depending on the variety. I currently have 190 buds from the most recent wave that occurred from 8/31-9/2. A lot of the buds will abort. I will remove buds leaving no more than 2 per branch, since most of my plants are in their first year of production. I lost 40 of my most mature plants last winter when the temperatures dropped to 26 degrees for several hours.
Thanks for sharing. I will be changing my log also. With so many fruits this year, I'll track the quantity of flowers that I pollinate each day instead of every bud that I see.
Just subscribed, congrats on 1000!🎉
Thank you
Love the updates and the quantitative approach of tracking your varieties.
I really like this! Your form is simple and easy to use. My question though, is how do you account for waves of buds? I did an initial count, and I had 5 on one plant... then a couple weeks later, I got another three!
The log is a snapshot in a particular day or month. I realized that tracking the number of buds is not easy once you have over 100... I am thinking of changing the way I track - track how many and variety of flowers I pollinate and then track how many of those become harvestable fruits. I will still track the buds but once it gets into July when a 100 of them shows up, I'll just change to tracking flowers instead.
I only have one dragon fruit plant. my first fruit came out looking like a vietnamese white. Now, I have a second fruit, looking like an american beauty, according to you talking about their shapes.
carefull that the variety Zamorano is sterile, so is not self-fertile as you have noted on the sheet. Unless u have a "fake" variety of zamorano.
My first one got polinated in August 9. Now I have 10 total in fruit and flower. I feel like they will all just rot in the winter
Princess of the night is not black africanis by the way. Black africanis is very different
I was reading on reddit yesterday about how poor cosmic charlie sets fruit. Hope you have good luck with yours.
I just got some blk africanis cuttings and was given some of the fruit. The one I got has fruit the shape of a normal dragon fruit and has bracks also. It's quite small though with red flesh. It was sweet with no tart at all. Branches are 4 sided also.
Thank you so much for responding I got to bloom and pollination stage August 16, looked as if i was getting fruit but 3 dayys ago the whole flower and base fell off. Ill try again though still have time left Thanks again
Anthony is the best.❤
Hey How do you fertilize your dragonfruit and with what fertilizer How often in the season??
This season, I used the following: Alfalfa Pellets (same pellets for feeding livestock) After last season, around end of October, I applied an inch of it over the soil Chicken Manure Applied around end of March when the plants show signs of waking up from the Winter Liquid Fish Fertilizer (many brands - no particular) Applied once per month starting in April General Hydroponics - Flora Nova Bloom Applied once per month starting in April (e.g. each month, use fish 1st week, 2 weeks later, use Bloom, then repeat following month) In between the fertilizer months, I just water.
Thats a tiny haileys comet. Usually they are huge.
The flower was cross pollinated with American Beauty pollen. I'm suspicious that AB pollen makes other fruits smaller.
How many days from bud to flower and from flower to ripened fruit for this variety?
I did not keep a good tracking log on this variety because it's hard to determine if the bud is a flower bud or a new branch bud. Before the bud becomes apparent, white hair grows out of the main branch first. It can take 2 to 3 weeks for me to confirm it's a flower bud. Base on my confirmation date, it'll take about 70 days for the flower to open. When to harvest the fruit is another challenge to track. Because the fruit is not sweet, I leave it on the branch for many weeks after the fruit turns pink. It turns pink around 60 days but I don't harvest it until 80 or more days. Even then, the fruit is still not sweet.
Nice looking fruit. Just pollinated my first Zamorano flower, so hopefully we'll get fruit. What was the other fruit, having a hard time making out the name?
The other one is actually Robles Red. I didn't know what variety it was at the time so I called it "Elite"
@@DragonFruitPastime Thank you. I actually have a fruit of RR that is going to be my first ever fruit.
😂
That’s a 70 year old Cambodian’s hands. 😂
How long does it normally take after the flower opened for the American beauty to ripen?
About 2 months. The one shown in this video flower opened on 6/25/24 and I harvested on 8/22/24 so it took 58 days. I have other ones that are still not ready to be harvest and it has been over 60 days already...
Your story is all wrong, lol if you really want to know the history of the dragon fruit that has been recorded, it's has their name and history about it. I'm pretty sure you can Google it
Looking good.
Spread them around by blasting with water? The ants bring the aphids to feed then come back and eat the aphids.
Which is the universal pollinator?
Vietnamese White
👍👍👍🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🤝🤝🤝
What fertilizer do u use to bring more flowers ?
This season, I used the following: Alfalfa Pellets (same pellets for feeding livestock) After last season, around end of October, I applied an inch of it over the soil Chicken Manure Applied around end of March when the plants show signs of waking up from the Winter Liquid Fish Fertilizer (many brands - no particular) Applied once per month starting in April General Hydroponics - Flora Nova Bloom Applied once per month starting in April (e.g. each month, use fish 1st week, 2 weeks later, use Bloom, then repeat following month) In between the fertilizer months, I just water.

Anthony needs some $ for his job well done. 😅
Who are you, his agent? 😂 Anthony needs only dragon fruits.

Any advice for getting rid of grasshoppers? They are devastating my dragon fruit plants
If I'm lucky, I only get to see 2 or 3 grasshoppers in my yard each year. Sorry, no advice.
@DragonFruitPastime no need to apologize, I only wish I seen that few, they are in my garden by the hundreds and I have tried several things, my next option is net bags... I am happy that you don't have to deal with grasshoppers.. thank you for the response.
They are hard to spot unless they are moving. They chew up my cherry leaves and so do those green Japanese beetles@sourpoison5681
@robkeller3431 they move as soon as I start walking towards plants, grasshoppers have tore up my dragon fruit plants, my beans, some of my squash and the Japanese beetles are tearing up my roses...
I put a 20 percent shade cloth over mine. It keeps them from chewing on my dragon fruit and citrus.
We done Anthony.👍
Its not yet August 12th 😅
I meant to say August 2nd - read the slash as 1 😊
Looks yummy 😋 and delicious.....I like Sweet & Sour flavor 😅
👍👍👍
You have a princess of the night which is white. Black dragon and black afrikanis are totally different plants.
😢 want this variety but i'm in india. And i can't order from amazon cuz its all scams.

Most of my DF plants came from Alik. He’s a nice and a happy guy with a beautiful orchard too. Great video, Thank you for sharing.
AMAZING ORCHARD !!!! YOU SHIP TO MALTA MR ALIK?
You have to contact Alik. I am not big enough to ship.
Sorry, not shipping that far away.
Love the video. So happy that you guys visited and introduce my orchard to the World. Greetings to all. Harvesting season has begun. Alik
Greetings from zone9b Fresno where do you grow these beauties ?what zone
This was another fun and informative video. Thanks for taking the time Charlie (and Hailey!). Charlie you mentioned that you collected the pollen a few days ago. Can you share some details the best way to store it for short term vs. long term? I understand that the pollen has to be dried before you freeze it, so you don't get ice crystals that denatures the pollen protein. Do you have a guidance to ensure proper dryness? Also, for short term, do you refrigerate to avoid the ice issue? Thanks a bunch for sharing your knowledge--and having fun doing it!
Hi Michael. After collecting the fresh pollen, I place it in a tin bowl for a day to let it air out. I keep the bowl cool inside my house on the kitchen counter. Cover the bowl wit a napkin to block moisture out. After the 1st day, I place the pollen in tiny glass jars with a napkin cover to let the pollen air out more on the kitchen counter for another day. After the 2nd day, I place the lids on and put them in the refrigerator. I like the tiny jars because I can shake the pollen inside vigorously to loosen/break up the clumps. Since I have so much pollen, I throw away old jar pollen when I get new ones. I'll only freeze the jar pollen if they're gathered from the end of the season. I'll save only a few American Beauty jars of pollen. I hear frozen pollen make smaller size fruits so I don't want to keep too much for the following year.
Don't connect plants with each other with branches..because when one plant will fall off..they all will go after that .. sometimes there could be very strong wind... and you will not be able to control it ...because they are so heavy...
Your nephew is so awesome! ❤
Great job, Hailey!!! Your uncle Charlie is such a clown.😂❤
Tenho esta variedade aqui
Hailey did a great job ❤💛💚💜🩷 on such a special night
👍👍👍👍
Can you give the plant more nutrients to support more fruit? What is your general rule for number of fruit per branch? I assume you can choose to let more Sugar Dragon fruit grow since that fruit is already so small. i counted 42 buds on my SD right now, I don't have the heart to thin it
