  • Here is a special treat I am so glad I could share with you! This is a dragon fruit Pitaya flower still opened in the daytime (usually they only flower at night). In this video, I explain the flower and give some dragon fruit growing tips - lessons that I have learnt and methods I employ to grow Pitaya better.

    I hand polinate my dragon gruit at about 9-10 pm with a paint brush and have a great fruit retention.

    Wow what an amazing moment! Thank you for capturing this for us. I know my comment is a few years too late but I've been binge watching all day- while working from home lol. I subscribed to your channel in October last year. You've basically been teaching me now to grow. Thank you for what you do!

    I have the red smooth Dragon Fruit and I've never seen a flower but I get lots of fruit - but they get "stung" before I get to them.
    That flower is so beautiful you need to take a picture of it and frame it.
    The fruit tastes like a mild watermelon.
    My fruit grows right on the main stem.

    That plant looks amazing! I grow a lot of stuff hydroponically and I'm always looking for odd things to grow. Do you think it would work in hydroponics?

    • @Ctownskating
      @Ctownskating 7 лет назад

      Mine was given to me from a hydroponic farm in central florida. They kept their roots in the water and they grew fine. The plant they gave to me, i planted directly in the ground and it has been doing perfectly fine without any watering or anything. One full year after i planted the cutting, it started flowering so it doesnt seem like the change in environent effected it very much.

      Hey Jeb, fancy seeing you here! I've successfully rooted dragon fruit in my aquaponic system. In Colorado of all places! They like a lot of dissolved oxygen and easily adapt to hydroponics. I just pollinated my first flower several hours ago :)

    Really impressive bloom! I know you have some grafted dragon fruit plants. Does the none spiny dragon fruit have the same bloom? I'm not sure if there's a difference between the two varieties blossoms.

    in their native habitat they are pollinated at night by moths and bats, but bees are present at sunrise.

    I have a red dragonfruit plant in a pot and its been there for about 12 years. It's now rootbound and only yielded 1 fruit this year. Can you recommend what I should do? Take a cutting and start over or try to repot? As you know it's really prickly and repotting will be a chore.

    • @BetterDeadThanRed99
      @BetterDeadThanRed99 4 года назад +1

      Yes! Smells sweet and floral, kinda like a rose mixed with a sweet coconut like smell. Very pleasant but the flower doesn't stick around that long. My dragon fruit just flowered tonight and I'm afraid it will be withered and gone by noon tomorrow.

    Do you think a dragon fruit would grow in a high desert situation, maybe with attention to water? In a large pot? Better in a greenhouse?

    • @Selfsufficientme
      @Selfsufficientme  5 лет назад +1

      Yes, I think it would grow well but it would require regular watering at least twice per week for it to grow well and produce :)

    • @matthewmcalley392
      @matthewmcalley392 9 месяцев назад

      Just a question if you don't mind
      Where approx are you ? And are they particularly heavy frosts ?
      I'd like to attempt to grow one or two of these in New Zealand. We get a mild frost in this area & I'm wondering if that would kill them.
      They are rather expensive plants to buy here 😮
      And the fruit ain't cheap either 😂
      Cheers
