How to Remove Flower From Dragon Fruit

- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- Removing Dragon Fruit Flower helps your fruit stay fungal and pest free. This helps with limiting humidity on your Dragon Fruit to prevent it from having any rot that may happen. Especially, if it starts to rain then moisture will be trapped inside which can later cause your fruit to have issues. It also prevents bugs from eating from the inside out and when removing the flower you can see exactly what’s going on. Check out this video to see WHEN and HOW I remove the Dragon Fruit Flower!

Oh my God ... Oh my God ... I've got four fruits growing and getting red. And there are more three I think they're very "pregnant". I tried to take off the flower but it was already dry and hard to remove so I left there. Next year I'll remove them. Thank you for your advice Richard.
Can you talk about how to tell when a flower is successfully pollinated? All my flowers become bulbous and appear halfway like a mature fruit, but then they eventually fall off before full maturity. I'm wondering if this means they were not successfully pollinated.
Same here also happened
My dragon fruit rarely fruit. I"ll have13 and only one will fruit. They all blossomed but turned yellow real quick and dies. What am I doing wrong? Are there not enough bees. My husband tried pollinating with qtips but no luck. This will be my fifth year and I only harvested 3 in all those years.
Thank you !
Mine are just starting to form buds so I’m watching all your videos.
I’m taking notes.
Thanx for letting me know. I’m a first time grower in Miami Fla. and I left the flowers dry up on the fruit. This caused the fruit to rot and fall off😭😩
Next time! It's all a learning experience for everyone
I just got my first flower after 5 years...I didnt know I had to remove it and the piston started rotting in the forming fruit :(
That’s what keeps happening to mine
Love your stuff. I am about to build a massive garden and DF is one of my fav. I have yet to eat a red flesh fruit. I am a disabled Army Vet and gardening is very relaxing for me. I have never grown DF but looking forward to do it. Thank you
Thank you so much for making videos like this with all the information to have beautiful dragon fruit plants God bless you
Got it! Left, right, up, down, B, A, Select, Start
oww thats cool! its a cheat in some games buddy..
I love your videos. I'm learning so much from them. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Blessings.
Don’t need to remove the flower. When the fruit grow up, the dry flower will remove naturally. It’s not good for fruit to force for removing the flower part.
Maybe I won't remove the flowers, just wait to fall.
I'm worried I might cut the stigma..
Actually removing the flower is good cause in the rainy season the flower root and maggots start to eat the whole flower and turned the young fruit drop
@@emmalaniceberano7270 Some don't but it gets dusty inside if left too long and other things can grow in there because the flower is basically dying. As Richard said, it can create bad conditions for the fruit if you don't.
Besides, the stigma is pretty hard to remove while still fully moist.
I don’t think so! Removing the flowers is necessary in wet conditions
How do I remove the flower from yellow dragon fruit?
Holy crap! This video needs more views! Thumbnail on point
Thanks bro!
hi, thank you for adding dragon fruit videos, we have red varieties at our farm
Welcome!
I did that last year and my fruit died. 😨
you did it early or did it wrong
Doing it totally WRONG. You Need Pull it UP, UP, DOWN, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT RIGHT AND B, A SELECT START.
hahaha! Giving away the cheat codes
I don't mind the flower because I don't got any minibeast at home
Hi Richard
Thank you for your very informative videos. I just learned that my “night blooming cactus” is really a dragon fruit plant about two months ago. I have been enjoying the plant for 10 years! I have quite a few that grow in my yard. After learning about dragon fruit from your videos we pollinated several flowers and had one fruit. It was delicious. Then we pollinated 27 flowers in the next bloom. None grew into fruit. Then I saw the video where you removed the flower and then the stigma. I just pollinated 5 tonight. Will try and follow your instructions over the next week or so.
Do you think that because the flowers and stigma were not removed was the reason we had no fruit? I live in Florida.
Thank you for any insight you may have.
Some dragon fruit need to be cross pollenated from a seperate plant.
Were you able to figure out how to get fruit from it?
Increase your sound please.
Good video👍
From Surabaya East Java , thank you for the very useful information for DRAGON FRUIT farmers
Hi He Man, you’re very welcome. Thank you for watching my channel.
my grand mother bought the dried dragon fruit flower from aisan supermarket and make soup out of it.
it is common in asia. is the flower was already pollinated, otherwise we will have lost a fruit
Hi, thank you so much for sharing very useful tips. I have 1 dragon fruit about 1 year 3 months old. It just had 4 Flower’s bloomed. I’m not sure if the tree I have is male or female type. I will have to wait n see. Thanks
Wow so great now I know how to removed thank you for learning. God bless
Hi Richer love ur video and love ur dragon fruits. I have big dragon pot n it bloom nice for 2 years now but it turned yellow n fail off no fruit. I’m sad! I tried to pollenate it but I did it wrong. Now I see ur video it make sense . So I’ll will try next year. Wish me luck. If I don’t have fruit I’ll go still ur!! Lol thank u .
Great video. Would you explain when in the season to prune to improve flowering, increase growing, etc?
Thank you, Salvi Mithrin. I will definitely make a video on that topic when that time comes for me so I can demonstrate and explain as I am pruning my dragon fruit plants. Pruning for me usually starts in November when the last set of flowers all bloom and harvested. Then pruning will begin. I’ll make sure to cover all the content in the video. I appreciate your suggestions!

thank you for uploading the videos and sharing all the good info. Following your method, my dragon fruit plant is bearing the first ever fruit after 3 years.
Hi Joanne Wu, Thanks for watching my videos! Yayyy, congrats on your dragon fruit bearing fruits! That is very exciting :)
Hi Richard, I seem to have bacteria forming on the cactus arm ( yellow with brown spot) where 4 fruits are on. Will the fruits still grow normally ? I plan to cut off the arm after the fruit is harvested if it matures even with the damaged segment. Any suggestions on how to prevent bacterial rot?
Hi Cynthia, your fruits will still grow normally so no need to worry about that. I would let the whole fruiting cycle finish and once its done you can do 2 things.
1. Treat it with copper fungicide and spray the infected area to stop the spread and kill the fungus.
2. Cut the whole cutting off and discard it away from your other plants so that it doesn't spread.
I hope this helps, you can search through my videos for info on how to treat cactus fungus. There's a video of me showing ways to remove them. - Richard
Grafting Dragon Fruit Thank You ! It’s great to have advice from experts.
Hi Richard, how can you tell if the fruit develops after removing the flower? Is there a possibility that even after manually pollinating the stigma that the fruit won’t develop? Thanks!
Hi Richard, after removing the Dragon Fruit Flower,how many days doI have to wait until it is ready to be harvested?Thank you.
The Vietnam white variety is best harvest at 30-35 days after the flower has bloomed. That’s when it’s at its best!
nice video
Thanks Birds!
Loving it bro. Would like to try planting these dragons soon. M in the 3rd episode on your vid. Will cont. After work. 😆 said ur giving away the trimmings hope i can try one. Thanks for taking the time bro.
Have been growing 4 varieties of dragon fruit for a year and look nothing like yours. I believe when I make my raised bed and use a concrete /styrofoam post for the DF to climb as well as your trellis design ... should start showing promising results. Will keep you posted. Thanks for all tour videos and advice.
Hi Kenneth, please keep me updated I would love to hear about your progress. Chicken manure is a great source of fertilizer that will feed them throughout the year slowly. They love it and you can get results just like me by simply just adding this to your garden routine.
Thank you so much for all your knowledge and wisdom...just starting out with my first plant and preparing my custom built enclosure for them as we speak due to the UK's climate lol
Just curious where you acquired all this knowledge on dragonfruit? Did you have family in Vietnam with a dragonfruit farm or something?
How do you treat the flowers if you plan to make tea from them? The flowers you plucked were moldy and not looking like they'd make a tea which I would want to drink. thx!
More nerrative and soo good to hear your voice. Keep it up
Thank you for watching! :)
Splendid!
Hello...video very good
Thank you very much!
Hi, i have two questions
1- I’ve noticed dragonfruit plants produce two types of limbs, one kind tends to get chunky full of water while the other is skinny, long and seems to grow faster, how should I choose which limbs to
Prune, long and skinny, the chunkier ones, or both?
2- is it true that weather needs to reach a certain temperature for dragon flowers to actually become fruit?
Thanks for all the knowledge you share
Richard - love watching all your videos its been so informational but I was wondering if you have a video on how to make budding blooms. My dragon stem I have been growing for 2-yrs now has not had one bloom and I would absolutely appreciate your help. thank you.

How do you protect them from birds?
Hi Alice, you can protect them from birds by putting over a paper bag and tying it. Or you can use paint bag strainers to tie around your fruit to protect them as well. I'll make a video about this topic for you soon so look out for it on my channel!
Awesome
Thank you!
Let’s pray for the 377 people who thumbs down this very educational video 🙌🏾🙌🏾

First dragon fruit flower ever today. How do I know if it is self pollinating or not? Or needs cross pollinating with another plant?
Beautiful full growth!!!! That tree is awesome!!!!
Congrats!!!!🙏🏼🤙🏼
Informative video, thanks for sharing :)
Thank you very much for this clip...I will start doing now
You're very welcome!
How to have that kind of dragon fruit trees? Yours are so looks healthy...is there any fertilizer ?
Why is the remaining part of the flower turns yellow and eventually fall off from the branch?
sir paano kakapal ang yong poste nga ginagamet not. 3*3 or 4*4 gostong maalam kase gusto kong magtanim nang dragon frust
Very healthy ❤
i thought my dragon fruit flower just died until see your video, Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome!
What would happen if we don't removes the flowers? I mean is it necessary to remove flower and why?
I was going to say that isnt it better to let nature do its job but you obviously know what you're doing judging by the health & size of your plant so ill take the tip thanks for sharing
Hi Tony, nature can definitely do its job but this just helps keep the fruit pest and moisture free. It helps keeps your fruit stay damage free and very pretty once you harvest them. Sometimes critters love to hide in those dry flowers and eat the fruit from within. Thanks for watching!
How often do you water the dragon fruit when they start flowering? And what vitamins do you give?
Hey Richard I remove the string coming out of the dragon fruit. Did I messed up on that?
How do u keep it looking like a tree?
Do you cut the ends like a bonsai?
Kenapa pohon buah naga saya tidak berbuah,, saya sudah 1 th menanamnya.. Padahal tumbuh subur
If i am growing one dragonfruit cactus,
Say i propogated cuttings from it,
Would they be suitable for cross pollinating?
Or would they be the same bariety as the plant i took cuttings from?
Dear richer can you please explan why are you pull flower? Please show us how to plant this fruit in the pot thanks
I take off the flower to prevent moisture from sitting inside and causing rot to the fruit. Also sometimes fungus can grow and infect the fruit so I take pre caution by removing it when it detaches from the fruit. I have videos on how to grow them in pots in my channel. Please browse through my video list to see them all. Thank you
How about if you cut them by scissors and accidentally you cut the stigma after 4-5 days? Is there is no detrimental effect to the development of the fruit?
Hi red xcube, if you cut them by scissors and also the stigma after 4-5 days your fruit will still be fine! It takes only 2-3 days for the pollen to successful pollinate the stigma and become a fruit. I just wait 4-5 days because it’s easier to snap and pull off once they separate from each other. And the stigma is still too moist to pull, its latched on real good. Usually about 8-10 days the stigma can be yanked off easier. There a video of me doing that in my channel.
Hi Richard. Love following all your videos on dragon fruit and will always do so. Would you be able to tell me what i am doing wrong on the dragon fruit flowers, When i am to pollinate the flowers ,some that are supposed to be opened will not open at all ,cause the tips of the flower are stuck like glue ,Could this be from lack of watering.or from the ants that are on these flowers at earlier buding stage,Please help me if you know the cause, God bless you .
Hi James Billy, what variety of Dragon Fruit are you having this happening to you? Some varieties take long to bloom than others. Also, are you adding any type of fertilizer to encourage strength to help with blooming? These factors will help me identify what is happening. I never heard of a sterile flower and they tend to always open. It might just be a late bloomer. Keep me updated and I’ll try to help you figure this out. We want them to bloom!
They can handle heat, drought, humidity and poor soils but will grow tastier fruit with regular watering and rich soil. Choose a sunny spot and then boost the soil with compost, manure and certified organic pelletised fertiliser. A dose of lime is also beneficial.
No necessity of removal of flowers from dragon fruit plants after pollination in summer season.
good morning. How much is a seedling? What is its color? Is there shipping to Cairo?
We never remove our Dragon fruit flower and their good
I removed my flowers 4 days after they bloomed and they both already had a lot of maggots and rot inside... I live in Florida, so obviously summer is the wet/humid season and we probably deal with more pests than California. Any suggestions? Should I cover the blooms with something?
If you’re getting maggots inside the flower one thing I could suggest is using a mesh bag to tie over the flower. After 4-7 days you can remove the mesh bag with the flower so that no maggots eggs can be laid in there to hatch.
My dragon fruit become yellow after pollination, can u say why it is so?

Sir what 's nice time to remove the flowers! good if its not raining sir. thanks for your answer

Only one year old? My one year old is about 1 branch and 12ft:)
Hi. I didn’t know about pulling the flower off. Thank you for showing how that is done. Your video’s are very helpful. Thanks! Question, if you don’t mind. … I live in Central Florida and have a Haley’s Comet Dragonfruit. It gets mostly sun and is well drained. I had 5 blooms this year and hand pollinated all of them. (One on one night, and other 4 the night after) on the night I had 4, I used all 4 to pollinate each other. Few days later, seemed like they took. They were firm. On the 5 th day, I could see the color separation and was able to pull the bloom off like you showed. But a day or so later, they turned yellow. 3 fell off the next day. The other 2 have some pink, but also kind of yellow. What did I do wrong? (Going to send this your dragonfruit friend as well, please don’t be offended. I’ve learned from both of you, lol)
Hello! I really like the work your doing, your vids are very informative! But I'm wondering if there's a way to reverse newly planted cuttings becoming mushy and blackening. Also, is there a dragon fruit community on telegram i could join? THANKS!

HI i have two trees of this fruit, but in to years I only have gotten one fruit from it. Seems a lot of effort for one fruit. Any advice would be appreciated
Do some pruning, tipping, and feeding with organic fertilizers. Also, make sure your DF plants are getting enough sunlight. Hope this helps.
whats the black on steams
All my dragon fruit do u s flower..no fruit..HELP...what can I do to make it produce fruit
You need to hand pollinate it with it's own pollen or cross pollinate with another variety. Depends on what kind you have
I'm in Anza California, hope mine turns out good
Thanks so much for sharing always good information.
Hi there I lTownsville Australia
Iv been following your videos for some time now
6 nights ago my dragonfruit flowered so I went and collected some pollen because I new that I had about 14 flowers going to be ready at the same time.
So today being day 6 I thought I should remove the flowers off the fruit
Townsville has had constant rain now for 4 days now and the flowers are very mushy and hard to remove so what should I do as I’ve had my dragon fruit plants now four 4 years and they have never produced fruit so I started following you for guidance and this year is the first time I have followed your instructions
Aloha. We live in Hawaii. Last year no problems with dragonfruit. Beautiful, ripe, not eaten by pests. This year every one is eaten by a pest - all the way through - with holes on two sides and hollowed out. We have geckos and birds but I never see them eating the fruit. After the fruit starts to die, ants show up. Any ideas as to what is eating them and how to prevent it. Mahalo.
After the 4-5 day I pulled the flower and found some small white worm/ maggots what can I do to prevent that?
You did it correctly! Removing the flower after 4-5 days will prevent any further damage from the insects
Just got 6 dragon fruit plants I need tips so I dont waste them
up down left right,.... remember the steps guys

How do you get your df to flower and fruit?
My df is not doing well. Can't get it to flower and to fruit.
What method do you use?
Hello Richard, more power to your channel. I want ask you regarding my plant Dragon fruits, got a lot of flowers but turns down to yellow and dying, not becoming fruity, what’s the right cure to apply? Thank you for your immediate attention.
My flowers are dying but I’m noticing that even the DF itself is turning yellow as well …why
That means the bud didn't take the pollen so it's aborting.
Why so Damn expensive for Dragon fruits in the US. $6.99lb
