Why do my dragon fruit flowers turn yellow and fall off and what to do about it

- Опубликовано: 27 июл 2017
- Since I started getting flower buds from my dragon fruit I decided to do my research on how to increase the chances of the flower buds to develop into fruits. I found out that there are two main types of dragon fruit when it comes to development of fruits from flowers. The first one is the fertile type which means it doesn't need hand pollination or cross pollination to set fruit. Some growers also call this the "self pollinating" type. The other type is the sterile or non-self pollinating. This type needs cross pollination from a fertile type in order to set fruit. If you only have this sterile type of dragon fruit in your garden, there is no amount of hand pollination that you can do to have your flowers developing into fruits. So if you have a plant that is 2 to 3 years old producing flowers but the flowers after blooming just fall off and never end up developing into fruits, then chances are you have the sterile type. Now what you can do in this situation is to plant a known fertile type so you can do cross pollination. To ensure that you get fruits from your plants, only plant known fertile type dragon fruits in your garden. You can also increase the size/yield of the fruits by planting two known fertile types together in one post/trellis side by side (increase chances of cross pollination by doing this). Dragon fruits growers do this in their farms to get better fruit yield. Cheers.
Good points. I'm having about 95% chance on hand pollination and about 70% chance pollination with natural pollination in South Florida. I always use pollen from another variety, thank you for the confirmation!!! Happy growing
pparisi407 happy growing to you as well and thank you for watching. Cheers
It's always nice to identify the variety you have to know if it's self pollinating or not. Collecting 3-5 different varieties is fun specially when you do cross hand pollination.
I recently had 7 blossoms on two plants. I hand pollinated all not once but two times during the night. I cut off the pistols from a few and shook them on the stamen. I then collected all remaining pollen and sprinkled it on the stamen. I left the pistols on the stamen all night. These were self pollinating varieties. the plants are 1-1/2 years old and quite large and healthy. None of them set. Does anyone have possible reasons why dragon fruit will not set when pollinated correctly?

😆 hello. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching. 👍😊👍 Cheers
When ordering a new variety, how many stalks do you recommend ordering when starting a new variety? I really enjoy your videos!!! 💚
I would suggest 2 cuttings but you can go with just one. The dragon fruit is easy to propagate anyway. I suggest trimming out the side branches and just leaving one main while you are growing it. You can let the new branch to mature/grow a little bit before you trim it off so you can use it as a new cutting/planting material. I hope this answers your question. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching. Cheers.
Can you do a taste test of Physical Graffiti DF. I'll been growing for 3 years, no bud yet. Hope, PG tastes sweet..
Thanks
Physical Graffiti tastes good that is why I grow them.
Here is the link to the video of my sister doing the variety reveal of the Physical Graffiti early this year:

Hi, hope you can answer this, I have a 1 year dragon fruit plant which is doing well, tall and spreding, but I have 3 flower buds way at the bottom of plant near the ground, is this normal?
Hello. I think it is normal. Maybe that part of the plant for now is the only place to grow flower buds. I hope this answers your question. Thank you for watching. 👍😊👍 Cheers.
Hello, excellent videos, do you know if undatus dragonfruit is steril? Thnaks
Hello. Usually the hylocereus undatus (white flesh) dragon fruit are of the fertile variety. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching. 👍😊👍 Cheers.
Thanks for the video
Anil Nayar you are welcome and thank you for watching. Cheers.
I had my cactus for 3.5 yrs now it keeps dropping the flowers but this year it gave me 1 this year so its not sterile do u have any ideas why its doing this she is beautiful 8ft tall on a post and a 4ft by 4ft square top
Hello. 👍😄👍 I recommend adding chicken or steer manure compost to your plants. I add 2 scoops per plant of chicken manure compost or steer manure compost every month. I alternate between the two so if I use chicken manure compost this month then I will add steer manure compost next month. I currently also add about 2 tablespoons of osmocote 14-14-14 to each plant every month. The frequency of application will taper off as it approaches winter time (less daylight). When I add 14-14-14 I also add about 2 to 4 tablespoons of vermicast to each plant. I also do hand pollination which increases the chances of pollination occurring which will eventually increase the chances of the flowers developing into fruits. I hope this will help. Thank you for your question and thank you for watching. Cheers.
Hello Mr Sack,
I need some help from you.
I have 2.5 yr old delight sf.
Flower blooming and fruit turning yellow and failed off.
Hello. Delight is one of those varieties of dragon fruit that needs cross pollination (pollens from another variety) in order to produce fruit. Did you cross pollinate? If your answer is no then I suggest getting a white variety to cross pollinate with the Delight. I hope this helps. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching. 👍😀👍 Cheers
Thanks.

Hi! What variety is the One in this video? The flowers are so pretty!!! Sally
Hello Sally, you might be referring to the dragon fruit variety that I named "dark red" because it has a deep dark red flesh. When I bought the cuttings the seller only informed me that it was a red variety. Thank you for your question and thank you for watching. 👍😊👍 Cheers.
Can you please assist me? I don't know what I could be doing wrong, but I have many dragon fruit trees, and they all give me so many flowers during the summer, however after they all bloom they just wither away and die rather than turn into fruit. Not sure what I could be doing wrong to cause this. My trees are about 4 years old, and have given me flowers for about 3 years, however they all die for the last 3 years. I use chicken manure compost a few times throughout the year, as well as using miracle grow on the trees right as I start to see buds forming. I have about 50 flowers between 3-4 trees and all have bloomed beautiful flowers which are all turning yellow and likely going to die again.
Hello. Have you tried hand pollination? Do you have different varieties of dragon fruit or do you have just one variety?
I used moringa fertiliser & the result is superb. Lots of buds.
Hello. How do you make moringa fertilizer? Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching. 👍😊👍 Cheers
noted!!✔✔
Hello. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching. 👍😀👍 Cheers
How do I know which one I have? And where can I buy the self polenate ? Thanks

(Pine Island Nursery) this will show you some dragon fruit varieties that are fertile and sterile.
Hopefully this answers your question. thank you for watching. Cheers.
i am facing this problem for a long time , i cross pollinated and i got one fruit . but now i don't have many trees .how do i do cross pollinate ? same tree pollinaion is not working :(
Suspended if you got one fruit from your hand pollination then that means your plant is not sterile. I had a couple of plants that I tried to hand pollinate and cross pollinate last year that were not fruitful so I said to myself that these plants are not going to fruit no matter what I do. But this year both have a bunch of fruits developing after doing hand/cross pollination. If this is the first year your dragon fruit plant is fruiting then maybe your plant has not reached its full maturity (potential). If it is on its second year of fruiting then I suggest to plant other varieties for cross pollination. I also collect pollens in one container whenever I can and I store it in the freezer so I always have pollens whenever it's needed. I don't know how long the pollens last if they are stored in the freezer but somehow it seems to work for me. I hope this somehow helps you. Thank you for watching. Cheers.
Thank you so much for your reply. You are doing Great work. Its second year and I got one fruit after cross-pollination.Can you tell me how you store the pollens.My tree gives so much flowers.In heat some flowers burned also.I think i did not give sufficient water. One tip for you,In your videos you are not using tags.If you use tags then your video can be come up in first page of youtube search and you can a get a lot of views from there.Thanks again
Suspended with a soft bristle brush I run it across the anthers (where the pollens are located) several times of the different flowers with a shallow plastic container (I used the plastic container that you get from Kentucky fried chicken side dishes-red cap) positioned underneath to catch the pollens. I mix all the pollens (old previously frozen and newly collected pollens from all different varieties of dragon fruit) in the container with the brush. I then hand pollinate each stigma with the mixture of pollens. After I hand pollinate all of the flowers that bloom I cover the container with the cap that came with it and put it in the freezer. The plastic container from Kentucky fried chicken seems to work well because it is shallow and it easily thaws after taking it out of the freezer. I usually start pollinating after (a minute or two) taking it out of the freezer. Using a glass container might take longer time to thaw so I don't recommend it. I hope this will help you. Thank you for your tip and thank you for watching. Cheers.
sackboymahalo Thank you so much
Yesterday i pollinated .but in the morning there rain came.it did so much problem to pollinate
I hope your pollination will be successful even with the rain. Sometimes things happen which we have no control. All we can do is move forward. Best wishes to your dragon fruit planting. Cheers.
After a successful cross pollination has done into a sterile one. Do you need to cross pollinate again?
Hello. Yes you need to cross pollinate everytime a "sterile" flower blooms. I hope this answers your question. Thank you for watching. Cheers.
is coffee grinds good fertilizer for dragon fruit?
I personally have not used coffee grounds on dragon fruit so I don't know if they serve as good fertilizer but I've used them on my other plants. Thank you for your question and thank you for watching. Cheers.
Do you pull out your non-fertile dragon fruits. It appears that all of mine are non pollinating because I have had at least 20 flowers and all of them have fallen to the ground.
Hello. Did you try to hand pollinate and it still did not fruit? I do not pull out the sterile dragon fruits. I cross pollinate them. The sterile varieties that I grow I chose because of their relatively bigger in size and good flavor. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching. 👍😊👍 Cheers

Hope the yellow equador fruit seeds I germinated aren't infertile.
Love your videos btw.
Hello. The Ecuador variety is a "true to seed" (it will bear the same fruit if started from seed) variety and is a fertile variety. It will fruit on its own. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching. 👍😊👍 Cheers
Thanks a lot sir ..Wich kind of Dragon fruit butter and heavier in weight..I follow your amazing Videos..🌹👍
Hello. I grow Physical Graffiti, Haley's Comet, American Beauty and Purple Haze for their relatively larger fruit sizes and good flavors. This link might help you in dragon fruit variety selection: "Pine Island Nursery" www.tropicalfruitnursery.com/variety-viewer-variety-dragon-fruit--reference-2

Hi,
Which warity you have planted?
Hello. I have American beauty, physical graffiti, purple haze, and Haley's Comet and other varieties that I don't have a name for. Thank you for your question and thank you for watching. 👍😊👍 Cheers
Ok, so what kind of pollination are we talking about, #1 I don't know what kind of plant I have, I do know I don't have any fruits, just flowers, and I wasn't aware about the two different types...so my question? #2 Can I use pollen from my hibiscus flower? It has pollen, someone tell me please. Last month I had 2 flowers, this month I have like 6 flowers, but don't see fruit yet..I was out of town when the first two flowers opened, last night two opened and I saw them this morning...will pollinate with my hibiscus pollen tonight when I think they will open. I kind of pollinated the two that opened last night...we'll see...yes my first two flowers last month fell off by themselves...and to tell you the truth I haven't done too much to this plant..I've had her several years, but I have more all around.. I believe I have to go in and start growing what I have...HELP ANYONE
Hello. If you have a variety of a dragon fruit plant you can use the pollens from the flower that bloomed on that same flower or you can use a mixture of pollens from other dragon fruit flowers that bloomed as well.
Here is a video on how to pollinate: ruclips.net/video/95136hqMtaQ/видео.html
Here is another video on cross pollination of dragon fruit: ruclips.net/video/29f3m_tUo-k/видео.html
I usually pollinate about 9 p.m. on the day the flowers bloom if I have the time or early in the morning the next day. The dragon fruit flower will usually bloom at night and will start to wither and die the day after so you have to pollinate the flower once it is fully open/bloom.
I hope this answers your question. Thank you for watching. Cheers.
Do you put some kind of mesh or chicken wire at the bottom of the pot so gophers don’t eat away at the roots?
No I don't. Although I think that is a good idea. Thank you for your question and thank you for watching. Cheers.
For gophers, I push down the hole with a stick rat poison.
@@manuellrodriguez4064 not worried about the plant absorbing rat poison into your fruit?
How do you protect it from cool weather?
Hello. In my area I do not need to protect the plants from cold weather. The temperature only goes down to 46 degrees farenheit. If the temperature drops to freezing then the plants need to be protected. I've read of some use tarps to cover it. I've seen some put plants in pots with rollers so that it can be move easily into a shelter. I hope this helps. Thank you for your question and thank you for watching. 👍😊👍 Cheers
Sr. show us how do you fixe that tire to the post. Please
Hello. Here is a link to the video that shows how to fix the tire to the post: ruclips.net/video/Tdb5ieYa7xk/видео.html
I hope it helps. Thank you for your request and thank you for watching. 👍😊👍 Cheers
Lucky me I have twelve plants but only one plant fruits I pollinated by hand from the same flower I live in a frost area so maybe that is the reason my Dragon fruits plants they are so slow in fruit
How do you take care of your dragon fruit? Do you bring them indoors to shelter them from the weather? Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching. Cheers.
The other reason you may not get fruit is because you don't have the moths or bats that usually pollinate them .hand pollination is used very often though there are some varieties that are self fertile
Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching. Cheers.
Or bumble bees like I do.

How ofter you water them? My flower got yellow and fall off, when it about the size of olive.
Hello. I water once a week for the matured plants and every third day for the cuttings. Do you add fertilizer on your plants? Thank you for your question and thank you for watching. Cheers
From cutting plant after how many years we can consider as the matured plant? What kind of fertilizer do you use and how often you fertilizer them and how much? Thanks for your replied.
@@elainluong76 I consider a cutting as a matured plant after about 2 1/2 months of growing after planting it. I usually recommend watering cuttings every third day for about 2 1/2 months and by that time the plant has established it roots and should be able to grow new branches.
I add 2 scoops of chicken or steer manure compost every month as a source of organic material for the plant. I alternate between the two every month so it will be chicken manure compost this month and then steer manure compost next month. I do this the whole year.
I currently also add Osmocote 14-14-14 (2 tablespoon) and (vermicast 4 tablespoon) for each plant and will eventually do it every month because of the plants nutrient requirements for growing fruits during summer. I will taper the frequency of adding these two (osmocote and vermicast) by fall. I hope this answers your question. Thank you for watching. Cheers.
Awesome, thank you very much.
@@elainluong76 you are welcome 👍😊👍 Cheers
What variety is the first variety of this video? Thanks!
Hello. I do not know the name of the first variety in this video. This is one of those dragon fruit varieties that I bought when I just started planting. At that time I was not aware there existed several different varieties. Thank you for your question and thank you for watching. 👍😊👍 Cheers

Maybe it is Condor .... ?
@@howtogrowdragonfruitplant7849 it might be. Thank you again. 👍😀👍 Cheers
It worked but 6 flowers again turned in to yellow , i don't know why! In the same tree while others become fruit
Do you use fertilizers? I recommend the following: The first fertilizer is the Miracle Gro general purpose plant food which I use once in early spring and once after flowering/fruiting cycle (1 tablespoon per plant). The next two fertilizers that I use are both organic namely steer manure compost and chicken manure compost. I use them interchangeably once every month (1 to 2 scoops per plant). I also use slow release Osmocote 14-14-14 when I see flower buds starting to develope (this year was April, 1-2 table spoons per plant) and this year I also added earthworm castings (same time, 1-2 tablespoons per plant). I also add Epson salt two weeks before summer starts (1 tablespoon per plant). Hopefully this will help your plants/flowers. By the way I added tags in the viedos. Thank you for suggesting it. Thank you for your question and thank you for watching, cheers.

Ok. Thank you again for your suggestions and thank you for watching. Cheers.
What is Osmocote 14-14-14 ?
Why you use Epson salt ? Is it the salt we eat in our home ?
And Tell me about the first fertilizer Please
The link will give you information about Osmocote 14-14-14:
www.plantersplace.com/osmocote-plant-food/the-osmocote-advantage/
The link will give you information about the use of Epson salt in gardening:
www.epsomsaltcouncil.org/uses-benefits/gardening/
This will give you information regarding the first fertilizer:
www.miraclegro.com/en-us/products/plant-food-care/miracle-gro-water-soluble-all-purpose-plant-food
There are fertilizers that are slowly released to the plant like Osmocote 14-14-14 and organic fertilizers. Organic fertilizers needs to "break down" first before the plants can benefit from them. This means when you apply the organic fertilizer today there is no effect/benefit to the plants instantaneously, it will take time for it to break down so the benefits will take effect weeks or even months after. This is the reason why I apply steer manure compost or chicken manure compost every single month. I do tend to use more organic fertilizers than chemical fertilizers.
There are fertilizers that the effects/benefits are instant. Chemical fertilizers are these type but there is a chance that you will 'burn" the plant. It is like the effect of drug overdose on people..... there is a chance of killing your plant. This is why I only apply the recommend amount or even less than the recommended amount. I hope this answers your question. Thank you for watching. Cheers.
How could you know that it's fertile or not? Thank you

Hello! I’m really struggling this year was horrible my tree didn’t produce no fruits!!!
The flower bloom then the fruit barely start growing then it died
Please help I can’t go another year like this
The first and second year all was well now for the past 2 years nothing!!!!
Helpppppppp thx a lot
Hello. I suggest adding fertilizer to your plants. This is what I use which appears to work: The first two fertilizers that I use are both organic namely steer manure compost and chicken manure compost. I use them interchangeably once every month (1 to 2 scoops per plant). The third is slow release Osmocote 14-14-14 when I see flower buds starting to developed (this year was April, 1-2 table spoons per plant) and October. I usually increase the frequency of the application of the 14-14-14 during the fruiting time then decrease it back down come winter. This year I also added earthworm castings (same time, 1-2 tablespoons per plant). I also add Epson salt two weeks before summer starts (1 tablespoon per plant).
I also suggest doing hand pollination which will help increase the chances of flowers developing into fruits. If you have other varieties of dragon fruit then I will also suggest doing cross pollination. Cross pollination will increase the chances of getting larger size fruits. I hope this helps. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching, cheers.
sackboymahalo thank you so much for replying 😊 God bless you

When i ate the only fruit it gave it was purple skin purple inside
Hello. How many varieties of dragon fruit do you grow. I suggest growing different varieties so that you can cross pollinate. Doing cross pollination will increase the chances of getting bigger size fruits. This video hopefully will entice you to plant other varieties: ruclips.net/video/p0stTkvrSwY/видео.html

Please lneed your help my dragon do not give flowers and fruits
Hello. How old is your dragon fruit plant? Do you apply fertilizers? Thank you for you question and thank you for watching. 👍😊👍 Cheers
Kabayan, this is the first year that my dragon fruit is blooming.They say that I wont get fruits on the first year, is this true? My dragon fruit has been blooming since Last june and I dont have any fruit yet.I even tried cross pollinating and still no fruit.Could you help me? Salamat po.
Hello kabayan. First year of fruiting usually gives about 3 to 4 fruits and on the second year there will be more. Do you add fertilizer to your plants? I add 14-14-14 and also chicken manure compost or steer manure compost to my plants which might help. I hope this answers your question. Thank you for watching. Cheers.
Kabayan, I had cross pollinated 41flowers already since June this year and I'm using 14-14-14 and manure.I know this is the first year they are fruiting, do you think I might get lucky and get some fruit this year if I keep on polllinating them?
@@juanitocruz7787 you are bound to get a fruit. Does it rain often in your area? From my own experience rain considerably lowers the chances of fruit development.
It is rainy season here in Florida and the tempereture is high 80 to low 90 every day and it rain here just about everyday, but a friend of mine here is harvesting dragon fruit so I think the weather is not the problem here. my dragon fruit will be two years this November so do think it is not mature yet? Salamat po.
@@juanitocruz7787 you are welcome. Maraming salamat rin sa iyong pagtangkilik. Cheers 👍😊👍
hi, my yellow dragon fruit has flowers which turn yellow and falling down for 3 years now. what can I do? thanks
tina ha what kind of yellow variety do you have? Is it the variety that produces thorns on the fruit or the variety that has no thorns on the fruit. I believe the variety that has thorns on the fruit don't need cross or hand pollination.
tina ha do you use fertilizers? If yes what kind and how often do you apply?
By grafting a sterile plant with self pollinating plant will do the trick ? 😁
Hello. I do not know if it will make the sterile plant fertile or the fertile plant sterile. 🤔😄 I think the sterile part will stay sterile while the fertile part will stay fertile. Good idea. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching. 👍😊👍 Cheers
One last thing I have four different varieties and they are all supposed to be fertile self pollinating verities.
Hello. What varieties of dragon fruit do you have? Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching. 👍😊👍 Cheers
@@sackboymahalo American Beauty, and three were all yellow dragon fruit purchased on Ebay and sold as self pollinating fertile varieties.
@@parker1ray American Beauty is a fertile variety, maybe it will give fruit in the future. Thank you again. 👍😊👍 Cheers
I'm waiting for my AX dragon fruit to bloom. My first bud fell. 😅
😊 there will be more buds on the way I'm sure 👍😊👍 thank you for dropping by..... no pun intended. Cheers.
Did i miss the answer to Why do my dragon fruit flowers turn yellow and fall off and what to do about it? Thanks.
Rey Rodrigo hopefully the additional notes below the video will clarify it. Thank you for watching. Cheers.

Bonjour traduire en français s il vous plaît. Merci
Depuis que j'ai commencé à obtenir des boutons floraux de mon fruit du dragon, j'ai décidé de faire mes recherches sur la façon d'augmenter les chances que les boutons floraux se développent en fruits. J'ai découvert qu'il existe deux principaux types de fruits du dragon en ce qui concerne le développement des fruits à partir de fleurs. Le premier est le type fertile, ce qui signifie qu'il n'a pas besoin de pollinisation manuelle ou croisée pour donner des fruits. Certains cultivateurs appellent également cela le type «autogame». L'autre type est le stérile ou non autogame. Ce type a besoin d'une pollinisation croisée à partir d'un type fertile pour donner des fruits. Si vous n'avez que ce type de fruit du dragon stérile dans votre jardin, vous ne pouvez pas faire de pollinisation manuelle pour que vos fleurs se développent en fruits. Donc, si vous avez une plante âgée de 2 à 3 ans qui produit des fleurs mais que les fleurs après la floraison tombent et ne finissent jamais par se développer en fruits, il y a de fortes chances que vous ayez le type stérile. Maintenant, ce que vous pouvez faire dans cette situation est de planter un type fertile connu afin de pouvoir faire une pollinisation croisée. Pour vous assurer d'obtenir des fruits de vos plantes, ne plantez que des fruits du dragon de type fertile connu dans votre jardin. Vous pouvez également augmenter la taille / le rendement des fruits en plantant deux types fertiles connus ensemble dans un poteau / treillis côte à côte (augmentez les chances de pollinisation croisée en faisant cela). Les producteurs de fruits du dragon le font dans leurs fermes pour obtenir un meilleur rendement en fruits. À votre santé.
Before opening they r becoming yellow
Hello. If you do not add fertilizer then I suggest you do. I add 1 tablespoon of Osmocote 14-14-14 slow release per plant per month. I also add 2 trowel size scoops of either steer manure compost or chicken manure compost per plant per month. This seems to work for my dragon fruit plants. I hope this helps. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching. 👍😊👍 Cheers
I have no success of pink dragon fruits. After blooming the flowers then turn yellow and fall off but white ones are continue to become fruits. Bees and ants are near the flowers. I grow both plants on the same container.
Rex Vong did you try to hand pollinate? I was not successful in getting fruits in a couple of varieties I have in their first year of flowering no matter how I hand/cross pollinate. This second year, both varieties have several fruits developing. If your dragon fruit is on its first year of flowering then maybe your plant has not reached it full maturity (potential). I hope this answers your question. Thank you for watching. Cheers.
I hand pollinated before and did not work. The flowers turn yellow and fall off. Those plants were 2 plus years old. I just wait and see. If I see the base of the flower is not get big after blooming then I know it won't make it.
Rex Vong do you cross pollinate (using pollens from a different variety)?
Tonight I pooled pollen from 10 flowers of different variety and hand pollinated all 10 flowers. Lets see in a few days, they turn into fruit or turn yellow and fall off.
Rex Vong best wishes on your success, hoping they all turn into fruit. Cheers.
We do not know the variety of Dragon Fruit we have. If you have ever had fruit of the plant then it is not sterile correct. We only have the one variety planted at this time.
If that is the only plant variety that you have and you got a fruit from it then most probably it is the fertile kind. I hope this answers your question. Thank you for watching. Cheers.
