5 Tips How to grow a ton of dragon fruit
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 сен 2017
- This video is all about how to grow a lot of dragon fruit (pitaya) in just one container. This method is what I call the hang or grow down method where the plant is placed upon a stand or in my case a stump and left to drape down instead of being trained up a trellis or post.

Self Sufficient Me is based on our small 3-acre property/homestead in SE Queensland Australia about 45kms north of Brisbane - the climate is subtropical (similar to Florida). I started SSM in 2011 as a blog website project where I document and write about backyard food growing, self-sufficiency, and urban farming in general. I love sharing my foodie and DIY adventures online so come along with me and let's get into it! Cheers, Mark :)

I found your method last year during quarantine. Ive been struggling for 3 years to get them to trail up and over a pole, never getting flower buds. Proud to announce after using this method i now have a budding plant with ants coming in very interested 🙌🏼 thanks mate, its hard to get an australian video abour dragonfruit, i appreciate your videos alot. Cheers! 🙌🏼
I'm not into gardening, hell, I don't even have a garden, but for some reason I like watching your videos. I like your voice, laid-back style. It's always pleasant to see someone nice enjoying what he's doing. Cheers mate!
Thank you very much, I'm wrapped that you are watching regardless of not being into gardening! Hopefully, I can convert you one day lol... Cheers mate :)

I think you like it coz he's a man of the future. He represents what humans need to be for our world to be peaceful and fruitful. Traits of critical-minded openness, politeness, compassion, respectfulness, etc are what our world sorely needs if we are to step away from all the suffering that currently plagues it.

Spot on!😂
Lol😂😂
Yes!!!!
I love the action shot moving around the dragonfruit as if its some kind of rare and dangerous multi-headed snake. Very steve irwinesque hahaha.
I had a piece of Dragon fruit while at work so I looked up how to grow it and came to this video. This video was so entertaining and made me laugh ....thanks for changing a dull day at work to a bit of fun!!!
Thank you so much. Lots of much needed information for my newest addition to the garden. I was just about ready to remove a huge stump caused by our recent hurricane Irma. Now it can stay and be a wonderful stand for my dragon. Have a wonderful day!
Thanks Mark. Your video has really helped me as I've just recently planted some dragon fruit and was in the dark until now. I'm now an avid fan of your channel and subscriber. Now I'm going to venture into more self sufficient gardening thanks to you. Cheers mate. Keep up the great work
That little bee was having the time of his life.

@@annabellavetra IT'S MA'AM
I... have... THE TIME OF MY LIIIIFE!
I was so glad to stumble onto this channel because of this video, after I subscribed and have been watching ever since. I was lucky enough to have a chance at eating yellow dragon fruit just last year as locally (chicago) they sell the red variety with the white flesh that is very muted in flavor. The yellows have become my literal gold standard for suggesting this fruit. I try to give them to people who have never had them, but at $10/piece that gets steep. I recently had a dream that I was in a yard surrounded by this lovely fruit, that is now my goal in life. Thank you Mark for changing my life, just by doing what you love and sharing it with all of us.
Thanks for this video, the timing couldn't have been better! I was gifted with 12 cuttings from mature well producing plants, 3 types (yellow, red/red, and purple outside red inside). Now I know how to plant them properly.
This Man is the next great Australian icon
You are too kind but thanks mate that's very nice of you to say... cheers :)
I am in the northwest part of the US and I am hooked on this channel. I wish I had that land! I have never seen a dragon fruit, I wonder if we could grow them here?
@@cbryce9243 it grows great here in Malta but we have very long dry hot summers and no frost.
Give this guy a TV show! Better content than most mainstream. Keep up the great videos. Be well
Excellent video, I just bought some clippings and your video is the most informative and helpful that I've seen. I'm excited to start growing these amazing plants.
I love putting the white and red varieties together in a fruit salad, makes it look really good.
I bet that looks magic! And, tastes good too... :)
Uhmmm the edible fruit is the same clear/white color the shell color isn't edible to out on salads 🤔🤦
How come is that look really good?? THe fruit flesh are of the same colour lmao
There is dragon fruit with red color flesh for you two wondering.
@@Murpitsi1 ahh, i see, you are right
First time seeing a yellow one 👀. I always treat myself to the red ones and yes they are pricey. One can set you back about $6 these days.
For those who haven't tried yellow dragon fruit, it's like a vanilla watermelon. The texture and sweetness of watermelon but the flavor is sugar and vanilla. It's really good.
The yellow ones I've had before tasted no different than the red ones
Depends on the varierty. Some are very ‘meh,’ others are gorgeous. In general, I find the best red/burgundy coloured fruits taste very berry-like. The best white varieties laste more like vanilla mixed with melon and have a really smooth taste. Depends on your own personal preferences.
I love watching your videos. I have been watching from the first one and working towards the most current. Because of your dragon fruit videos I bought one today. I hope I can grow it!
Had my first yellow dragon fruit today - DEEEELICIOUS!!! Oddly enough I had tried the red one a while back for the first time, and it was tasteless, so what a surprise when I tried the yellow one. Thanks for the tips, as at $5 US per fruit, somewhat out of my budget and will have to grow my own. Cheers!
Try different varieties. Some, red or white are very tasteless. Others are out of this world. I can’t say that either is better than the other, they both taste great. But you have to find the best varieties. Some breeders seem to have gone for size and shelf-life, over brix (sugar content,) and taste. But if you are lucky enough to live near where they grow it, you may find that the smaller varieties actually taste better. That’s the case where I live.
Great video, thanks for sharing. I purchased a dragon fruit plant about a year ago and it’s on my patio. I’m going to move it outside and use your method.
Ingenious!
Thanks, Mark, this was not only informative but entertaining to watch. I've just purchased my first dragon fruit tree, so hopefully following your tips I will get some fruit soon. Cheers
Great stuff Toni I hope they grow well for you! Cheers :)
Thanks so much. I picked up a discarded plant from the side of the road, and building a trellis was a challenge for me so I'm very happy to see this easier method.
Another great video Mark, as always, informative and very entertaining.I should have watched before I bought my plant.
Great info! I just picked up some cuttings and am hoping for success. Loved the bloopers at the end, lol!
OWCH! Poor right arm.
So loving the Dragon Fruit info.
This family must have thEE best EVER health.
Thank you so much for such a wonderful description and instruccion, you must be from New Zealand , one of the friendliest and educated people I have meet in my 40 year career a an airline pilot
This is how I fond your channel with your other dragon fruit videos. I might just try growing mine this way. Thanks for the new tip update.
Ok great - yes go for it! Thank you! :)
Super informative. By far the best way Ive seen to grow them and fantastic tips!
So inspiring thanks so much for the tips I wanna grow my own. I ate one for the first time a couple weeks ago, the yellow ones, I ended up buying a basket of them from the guy. I fell in love with the fruit and it’s health benefits.. The fruit is truely amazing
great video. I never thought dragon fruit would grow out of a pot like that. and fruit.
I respect this guy to the fullest!! Now I have my own little garden and it’s my hubby
DUDE, I LOVE YOU. I HAVE 4 and building that thing was gonna be my roadblock. You saved these guys! I CAN JUST GET A STUMP OR STONE!!! YOU HAVE BEEN SOOOOOOO HELPFUL!!!!! LOVE YOU. I appreciate you so much right meow❤️💚💛
Love watching your channel out here in California. Useful tips!
Wow! I'm amazed with ur dragon fruit. New subscriber here. I have 3 month- old dragon fruit and it just started to sprout more stems or shoots. I will follow you tips. Thank you!
Hi Mark! Love your videos! Very good explanation and information! Always watching you!! Good luck!
Nice one Mark. My red Dragon fruit do well here, but the yellows flower but I never get a dingle fruit. Pretty sure they fruit, but then fall off.
You need pollon from another plant variety or try its own pollon...
Great tips mate. Im planting a few dragonfruit this weekend your vid helped a lot. Cheers.
Beaut advice! I bought a pot with 3 stems. 2 bits fell off on the way home. Made a potting mix and planted into 5 pots. They've gone ballistic, from about 300 mm to over a metre high. Now I know what to do with them to get them to fruit! (Gotta get some BIG pots! Thanks Mark!
Thanks for the great tips, will be putting them into practice as well
Your tips are very helpful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Thanks Mark Been given a plant a been thinking where to put it. Will follow your tips.
Thank you for your videos!! You’ve helped me in my garden immensely and I’m grateful. I’ve got dragonfruit in Southern California, we have an invasive species of Argentine ant that are incredible at farming every kind of pest, they cover my dragon fruit and flowers with aphids. I have all my plants surrounded in cinnamon and have to blast off ants and aphids daily. These ants are relentless and really love my artichokes, dragonfruit, pomegranate and okra. They are my arch nemesis in the garden and we fight it out daily.
Great videos. Thank you so much for your gardening advice!
Wow love how much effort you put into this video. Liked and subscribed.
I did this two years ago and now I have a huge crop of dragon fruit from a plant in a big pot on a bench. So pleased this works. The trellis is going really well too.
Cool. You can even grow them into strong fruittrees!
dude, 30 seconds into your video and i'm loving it already. how you bring the Steve Irwin vibe and his mimicry but for cacti, it's hilarious. and your way of doing the hanging down method with the pot on a stand is actually a great idea.
As they say...a good salesman is someone who is passionate about what they sell. You are a lovely man with much passion, and have sold me. Thank you for your enthusiasm and ideas, from Peter of Shoalwater in Western Australia.
You're very kind Peter... thanks mate 👍🙂
Thanks for sharing so much information to all of us!
Fantastic update today mark !! Great tips !! Thanks for sharing
Thank you! Cheers mate :)
What a hoot, awesome video, gave me great ideas for the plant I just bought and I just happen to have an old stump...g-day from Florida...
Thank you for the very useful information and tips. I am planting my first cuttings given by a friend.
I enjoyed this video. Thank you, I will apply all these tips to manage my dragon fruit plant❤️
Love your videos. Been a big help on everything for me being a first time farming.
Thank you so much for the great tips and generous sharing!
Thank u bro. I was searching for this video for a long time because i had previously watched it once but didn't seriously took it that time. Thanks a lot
Great video! Thank you for the tips! I have learned much from you.
I'm about to plant my 2 dragon plants- thanks to you! I only been following you for 2 weeks...you are next to Steve Irwin- the best Aussie bloke! Marietta in Brisbane
I’ve written the most blogs in my section. Love it
Thank you for great ideas, and well made videos.

Self Sufficient Me , I want to use a living tree... It's in full harsh sun and wind exposed

Great info! keep up the good work!
Love your work man, keep it up
Thank you very much for being so nice so Frank and straightforward and not having any stupid music playing in the background and any trumpets blowing at the beginning and it was very informative and I'm about to do it today
Thanks from NZ . An awesome blog .
Just got a yellow dragon fruit cutting! Very excited to add this to my garden.
I don't know why but I'm getting some wild kratz vibe. Great info By the way.
love the camera angles. great thanks!
Best tips ever!!! Thank you so very much!!! Very helpful!!!
sir, like most Australians , you make and look simpler. I learnt quite a lot, important , growing in a downward fashion. I am going to try my hands at it. You have magic hand and lots of interest in passing the knowledge
I love dragon fruits also we have plants like that but its purple and sweet. Thank you for the tips . God bless you sir l. Keep on vlogging good tips .
Love dragon fruit spent some time growing up on a nursery with a large dragon fruit plantation. Interesting you chose to grow the least common yellow spiny ones. I personally prefer the red flesh one they grow big and don't have spines
Growing up on a nursery sounds like a great childhood to me! We do grow the red variety also but I actually prefer the yellow because they tend to set fruit easier here where we are and we love the slightly sweeter flavour but all dragon fruit a great in my opinion. Cheers :)
hey, i was wondering, does the dragon fruit varieties that are sold in store self pollinate most of the time?
i'm having a hard time finding someone who know about it.
Oh but the taste of the yellow variety is so superior. Maybe I just got a bad one, but I have only ever had one red one, and it was like eating moist paper, but LOVE the yellow.
I love all your videos! Thanks for the info!
I watched your video last year and got a dragon fruit cutting off my mum.
This year my plant is going crazy. I have lots of flowers, there are ants living in the pot and the stand I made is working really well. Thanks for all the tips and it looks like in the next few days my first flower will open.
love your channel buddy keep up the good work.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with people 🙂👍
Awesome.
You should have your own show.
You're a natural!
A few years ago I saw your video. Now I advocate this method
I'm planning on growing some dragonfruits, so this is very helpful! I love your vids; they're always so helpful! Thank you! (3
I want to live with someone like you for a year so I can learn everything.
u dont need to live 1 year to learn how in 5 minutes in your home by watching reading through internet or books or magazines u can learn what ever u want to learn, we r not living in the stone age
That's a really cool way to get hands-on experience. Nothing wrong with this way of learning. I'd say this is the best way to learn if you want to master a specific subject. Many great achievers have hands-on experience with their long-term mentors.
Awesome video, so glad I found ya!!
Thank you for sharing, love the video
Thank you so much for this video. But I have to say it did "start something" around here. Now my family wants to plant Dragon Fruit!
Wow, thank you, your tips are very helpful man! I’m attractive by this plants! I just bought three little cutting recently! Awesome 😎.
Thrilled to view your video on dragon fruit because of your five tips and most of all, just a pot and tree trunk will do for growing. No trellis! I hope to find a plant that will give fruit. Thank you for the tips.
Great info, thanks mate.
Thanks so much ...your method the best ...pot on stumps....easy...going to have a gala time planting all the cuttings from a very overcrowded d.f. plants...cheers
Great info. Enjoyed the out takes! :))THX!
I think the hanging-down method makes a prettier dragon fruit plant. It reminds me a little of Christmas cactus or epiphyllums. Thanks for this informative video!
I’ve never eaten fresh dragon fruit, just some mediocre dried fruit from the Trader Joe’s store. However, my son says the fresh fruit is delicious.
Many of my Southern California neighbors are growing dragon fruit in their front yards/gardens. I suppose our climate is good!
Superb info. Thank You for sharing.
Thank you for the great info!
Hello from Honduras love your channel love pitayas
I love the idea of growing the plant high! Easy!
Awesome video...man all the details...thx alot
Love your videos and thank you for posting. What varieties do you recommend that are self-pollinating
Thank you! This yellow spiny variety sets easily and the animals won't touch it either lol... Cheers :)
I'm sure I have a dragon fruit plant! Now, I'm looking forward to reading the article you wrote!
Subscribed. Thanks so much for your awesome videos! We watched your pineapple and dragonfruit videos, and will be applying your tips to our personal pineapple and dragonfruit plants. We've been curious about when to harvest our pineapples and also what to do with our small dragonfruit plant, and you've helped us.
Also, great video production. I'm a youtuber as well, and it's obvious how much work goes into your videos. Really good and helpful stuff. Aloha.
Just smashed ya bell!! Cheers and great upload!!
Thank you for the video, my aunt and uncle have dragonfruit flowering right now. It's years old and flowered last year but didnt set fruit, hopefully we'll see some this year. Cheers !
Thank you and best of luck with your Aunt's and Uncle's dragon fruit setting fruit! Cheers :)
