Thanks, you too!
I saw your Instagram story and I’m definitely going to get sour patch kids cuttings once you have some available😁
Sounds good!
What kind of fertilizer you put on Dragon Fruit to bear more flowers
Great video for the beginner! Thank you!
Just love the way u plant it,i'm lunring alot from u thanx
Hi, I am in New Zealand watching you and envious of the varieties of dragonfruit available there. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have a few df growing and doing well.
Perfect timing, I'm building my trellis today and transferring the plants I got from Oceanside! Do you ever add another cutting or rooting plant to the 20 gallon pot later? I only have 3 cuttings now, but hopefully my Asunta 3 offshoot will root and I want to add that later to the pot. Loving your vids, I'm super excited to start growing dragon fruits!!!
you may put a small container in side of 20 gallon pot , just reserve a place for your 4 th cutting in there later
Hi Chris, I do add another cutting or rooting plant into the 20 gallon pot later after I have other cuttings that are ready. Just make sure you leave room and plan it out to add it in later. I have't had any issues with doing that but obviously its best to do it sooner than later because the other cuttings may root and steal the area for you to plant a 4th cutting in the future.
Ooh I live in Oceanside. Where did you get your cuttings?
I just bought 2 dragon fruits tree I hope they will grow. Thank you for the video is very helpful.
When will you release your webshop? 😊

Growing two trellis based on your build with different varieties. Last winter/repotting lost a lot of growth but learned lots from you and looking forward to following along!
Great to hear!
@@GraftingDragonFruit I’m so happy
Love your dragon fruit shirt!
Thanks Jax!
hey bro great job on all the info, im laughing at your yard. my yard looks the same ,i have been growing since13/14.,keep up the great videos
Hi retchard nice to learn from you why you cut flower and leave the stigma thanks for your time
This is to prevent mold, pest, and insects from eating it within the flower.
This very informative and inspiration video...I can’t wait to try growing my very first dragon fruit after learning how nutrition this fruit is offered. Thank you Richard for sharing.
Hi Richard. Saw your youtube video by accident-totally love it!! Got hooked!! I just started growing 4 V White & 1 Red (in pots w/ ground roots)last month.So far very quiet... When & what fertilizer to use? Thanks if you can advise. (You need to attach an external Sony mic on your camera to bring up volume in your video...."
Welcome aboard! Thank you, I need to improve on my setup to make this volume better. I use chicken manure twice a year for fertilizer. I use Floranova Grow and Floranova Bloom for my liquid fertilizer to increase growth.
Awesome video bro thank you for the info🙌
No problem 👍
Great work! thank you! could you please provide the link to get the 20 gal pot?
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
good video very well explain..good job...
And richard, the tipping off the branches work for all varieties.
Thank you Richard👍👏
White Sapphire is one of my best tasting varieties next to Brunni, A-2, Connie Mayer. I got my cutting from Kim Phan after tasting her fruit I was blown away 🙌🏻🙂. Great variety.
Me who is about to order a cutting: YES, YES, YYYYEEEESSSSS
Woohoo!
Hi E1, I want order some of your dragon fruit plant cutting . How could I contact direct to you for ordering . Tieu leander TX
awesome video! Thanks!!!
Yeh the sour patch kids variety souds AWESOME. Can't wait to (maybe?) order a cutting from you. (when you put your cuttings for sale when you get some.)
This series is going to help me SOOOOOOOOOOO much Richard! When I get my cuttings (maybe from you?) I will do my best to follow along and do everything the same as you show me.
That is my goal to create a tutorial to following along with to encourage others to grow with me and produce fruits successfully!
Sounds good!
I was looking for info on dragon fruit and the decorative top of the wall in your thumbnail caught my eye, I think we're in the same neighborhood haha. I'm glad it did though lots of useful info here, thanks! What variant would you recommend for a beginner and/or what's your favorite tasting one?
Thanks for the lesson man
You bet!
Hi Richard been following you for some months and watching your very informative channel. I’m amaze with your different DF varieties. BTW how big is that Fox Farm potting soil you use for 20gallon pot, where can I buy some with better price, and do you sell your cuttings? If so I’m interested, please let me know I’m starting to grow some. I just have two American beauties now and ready to replant. Watching you inspire me to grow different variety. Thanks!
Welcome aboard! I buy my Fox Farm potting soil at local hydroponic stores. They will have it the cheapest at your hydroponic stores. If you can't find fox farm you can purchase "Kelloggs Patio Plus" its a great soil that mimics fox farm soil mixture.
hey there, new subscriber and fan here. I watched a few of your videos a couple of days ago and this morning I walked passed a house with a massive dragon fruit plant. and so I knocked on the door and asked if I could get a few cuttings. They had no idea that it was a dragon fruit. they thought it was just a cactus kind of plant with beautiful flowers. the granny said that the dragon fruit has been in her yard for almost 50 years and had no idea that it is a fruit and it is edible. there was still two overripe dragon fruit on the plant and so I cute it and they liked it. I'm very happy that I have cuttings from a dragon plant that is almost 50 years old. I just hope it will root. It is winter right now where I live. we have mild winters and I just wanted to know if the roots will grow during winter or should I get cuttings again in spring time and try and root then?
I'm more amazed that you do this without wearing gloves.
I LOVE your channel. Thank you for such thorough information. I do have a question regarding pollination. My husband's coworker gave us some cuttings. We don't know the varietal....How do I know if it is self pollinating? Thanks
Good video, Richard, where did you get your 4x4 cedar wood? All the local big box stores in my area stock only pressure treated wood.
You can grow them in a container.
Great Video you are the Master of Dragon Fruit Plants. I have one question How long on average does the cutting that you put into the 1 gallon pot take to develop roots. I live in South Florida and my concern is planting the cuttings in my Large Permanent container and having it exposed to the sun. The card board for protection isn't really a good idea because we get rain every day. So I'm thinking its best to place cuttings in the one gallon pots and keep in the shade until roots are developed. Thank you
Richard you got to upgrade to a better mic, other than that Great Video !!
Thanks, will do!
How often do you water them?
Hi Richard I have a half wine barrel will this be ok for dragon fruit, great video thanks.
Just starting interest in growing dragon fruit and wondering if you are still giving away cuts. Thanks
Liked and subscribed a while ago. Thanks for another helpful video. I have one question, Is having different varieties in one pot a good idea? I saw another RUclipsr say it's not a good idea to have different varieties because they compete in the pot and maybe different types of dragon fruit is more vigorous than others?
I imagine having different types in one pot is good for cross pollination though.
New SUBS here 😸, love ur channel stay safe
Thanks for subbing!
I am new to growing DF, would love to learn with your sour patch kids!!
after growth of 4ft of height..how to cut and where to cut the plant for more branches?please make a video about cutting
Hi Richard love all your video did make my trellis like your i just want to ask a question is it good to plant two different varietes in the same pots ? Someone in the comment can help me ?
Hi Richard newbie here from South Florida, I bought at publix 3 varieties, the best we liked was the yellow with the white inside, we like sweet tasty stuff lol
I would love to try growing some please, thank you

@@GraftingDragonFruit thank you I just did now 😉
Beautiful 🌹💐 you great work
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you for the tip my friend.
Thank you for sharing. How long will the Dragon fruit tree last in the 20 gallons container?
Love yours videos!
Thank you!!
hey Richard, I planted a cutting and instead of growing a new stem the cutting developed a flower, should it be cut off so the energy can produce a new stem? thanks!
I would cut the flower off then use a weak fertilizer that has a bit more nitrogen
How can I get some different types of your dragon fruits to grow of my own as well? Do you sell them or give them away when you start to trim out some of them? After watching your amazing videos, I just want to start growing those DFs just like yours. That's an inspiration. Thank you for sharing.
Bonjour j'aimerais savoir lorsque on fait un greffe blanc ou rouge est-ce que on peut le fertiliser à la suite merci pour cette information
Hi Richard, i so far can’t find info on preparing cuttings. You mention callusing for 5-10 days before starting to root them. How do you keep them for that time? Cool dark place ? Sunlight? Warm? Dry? Humid? Or does it not matter? Also, will they only root from one end or would a piece cut from the middle of a
segment root from either end?
I've seen 4 cuttings be planted into a 20 or 25 gallon pot, but wheat if i only wanted 1 cutting per pot? How big of a pot would I need them?
Thanks for posting this video, i am interested to know how much yield/fruits you get out of each pillar ?
Richard, I'm in Zone 8a on the Eastern Seaboard. We don't get too cold, but we have a week or two where it may get to low 30's and maybe 20's. I built your design trellis and wondered what you'd recommend to cover them with on those days. I can't bring that inside obviously, but a cover could work.
Hi Rob, what I recommend is you can cover them with some tarp, add Christmas lights underneath to raise the temps a bit from 30 to maybe 50-60F as long as it doesn't frost over you'll be safe. The tarp and christmas lights should project enough to get them through the week.
Thanks - very helpful! I’m new at trying dragon fruit, your explanation was very informative. I got all the stuff today to make my trellis and get my new shoots planted 😃
Glad it was helpful!
How do you know what kind of dragon fruit you have? I just moved to Florida and found one in the over grown garden in the backyard. I'm so excited to start growing!
Thanks for the good work and training my problem is how to make dragon fruit cutting root because mine is just rooting please help iam mukiibi from Uganda Africa
Where do you get your 20 gallon pots?
Maybe it's a stupid question but you say in a 20 gallon container you can place 4 cuttings so if I want to plant only one cutting per pot can I use something like a 5 or 8 gallon container?
How long does it take from fresh cutting and it gets root developed from new pot.?
thanks for sharing ur videos..
Glad you like them!
If I grow my dragon fruit indoors and under a grow light, can I run a 12/12 light schedule all year long or do I need to simulate winter? Thanks! Great videos BTW
You will most likely be alright with the 12/12. It's the temperature that gets most people
Hey, love the videos! A question about cuttings. Do you know if I can plant a cutting taken off a young Dragon Fruit which has not yet flowered/produced fruit, and still eventually get fruit off the new plant started from the cutting? Or should you use cuttings off plants that have already flowered? Not sure if it makes a difference and wondering if you know. Thanks :)
Doooope what’s up man just got a dragonfruit plant for my backyard I live in Tucson AZ any good tips for my climate that you know of?
I bought 2 from Publix but the stems looked all dried up, but I cut them back to a healthy part and put them in water. Should I have waited until tomorrow to let it dry and then place them in water. I'm new to your channel and I have a prickly pear cactus.
I'm growing a plant from a cutting someone gave me. Don't know what variety it is, Any hints on how to determine what it is?
Great videos and easy to follow.
Its hard to tell if they haven't fruited yet. Best to tell from a fruit.
Rich,do you put tags on each of them to keep track of the different varieties , what's the best fertilizer for them and how often do you fertilize them ?
Hi.how many time you putting water in a week for new plants?
Which dragon fruit plant is self-pollinated
Very helpful. My cuttings are about 2 weeks along and are pretty healthy, but are just a tiny bit brown by the edges. Do you have any advice on how to end that issue?
Can we get a photo of the top of the trellis to see how to name it?
Did you mail it, or drill Pilot holes for screws?
Great getting started video. I wish you had it a couple of months ago.
And i have a question. When planting in the ground, how big will a DF rootball get in diameter and depth?
Thank you, a rootball for dragon fruit planted in the ground can be crazy big because they arent limited to root space.
Grafting Dragon Fruit 2 feet? 6 feet? 12 feet? Every plant has an effective maximum size. And do they go deep or just surface roots ( top 18 inches or so) ?
Thank you 🙏
Nice shirt ! ! ! and great video...
Thanks!
Love it, I need pots for the dragon fruit. Where can I purchase the pots, do they need to be food grade Type 2? Thanks
what is the coldest temperature you have in your area during winter?
