Man dragon alley turned into dragon forest yard 😂. Great share as always. Ps. Couldn't hide all those flowers on the back plants from the trained eye. Looking out for more flowering and fruit content soon dragon boss
Great video and thanks for the knowledge. I brew microbial brews for my garden. The only bummer is chlorinated water which destroys the microbes. For me I fill container with city water and air bubble the water for a day or two before I make my brew. Releases some of the chlorine out . Anyhow microbes are a must. Love your vids they are detailed, Thanks for sharing your time.
good informative show nice muscles on u bro watching you shake that gallon bottle made me run to the weights and wortk out ya know crack out a few pushups lol but thought you were going to go through growing a plant from cutting ..
Love the tips! Question.. I have tipped my dragon fruit but instead of making multiple branches it only made 1!!! what do i do?? @grafting dragon fruit
thank you sharing your idea the way you did to your dragon fruits. can I ask questions? I wanted to try how to plant dragon fruits. I have on but looks too small the body not like yours they are big mine too tin.. I hope I can send u a picture so u can advice me what to do. Thank you so much
When they start to umbrella, how long do you let them grow? Until they touch the ground? And if so what do you do to maintain? Keep cutting it and maintain a certain length?
Hey brother thanks for all the info. About the dragon fruit. I got a lot of fruits as I speak and flowers still on my plants. I wish I could send you some pictures.
Awesome tips as always. I have been following along with this series and really enjoy it. Question for you - My rooted cuttings topmost section is over a foot long and very skinny, about the width of a finger. As long as it's secured to the trellis, will it eventually plump up and put off another branch? Or should I cut it off to try and stimulate new growth from the thick part below?
As long as it’s secured to the trellis it will eventually plump up. Once you cut the tip of the cutting they will swell up and put out new growth just like how I demonstrated in today’s video.
Hi Richard, thanks for all info about dragon fruit. May I know where you buy your fertilizers (FloraNova Grow /Bloom) and Fox Farm Soil? I live here in San Diego. Thank you.
Thank you, as I was conducting this research and experiment. I started to notice that aerial roots eventually grow down into the soil to feed. I felt as Foliar wasn't needed when the roots already work their way to find what they need to thrive.
I was also wondering how often is the fertilizer used once week or once month? When I worked at Disney world we used bloom boosters every other week and 20-20-20 every other week for our bougainvilleas and hanging baskets.
Hey, I have some plants that are very well established but they have 2 main branches climbing up. Should I remove one of the branches despite them being strong and healthy? How important is it to have just one main branch?
I would say that it’s better with 2. Traditionally, you would only do 1 because leaving only 1 would speed up the vertical growth process. This is done to reach the top of the trellis as quickly as possible. If you have 2, it takes twice as long for them to reach the top, but you got double the power (2 main branches = 2 main roots in the dirt). Twice as much energy.
Hello from cuba. I love your channel. Wish you could see my dragon fruit trees. I would like to know how I can get that sweet mini bucket? Would love to have one.
Hi from South Africa I have started trellises for a dragon fruit garden do you export cuttings to our country an if I chose five different cuttings which would be the best to start wit in flavour an variety threw watching you on UTube has got me started on my new project alll your information has inspired me wat is the best way for me to contact you Big Thanks
Richard, The directions on my recharge say 1/2 Tsp per gallon, which means 2.5 Tsp for 5 gallons, not 2.5 Tbsp like the video shows. 2.5 Tbsp of recharge wound be 7.5 Tsp into 5 gallons. Is this intentional or are you tripling the dosage on purpose? Also, I have been dosing about 9tsp of grow into a 5 gallon bucket (technucally would be 10 to hit 2tsp per gallon). Should I reduce to 7.5? Thanks! Fainlly your saying every other feeding, I fertilize every 2 weeks during growing season, how often are you dosing?
Hi Richard. I’m getting ready to start a couple dragon fruit plants. I saw a video with you tasting different ones and I was wondering how to get a clipping of Valdivia Roja. I’m in Southern California in Riverside.
I am obsessed with my dragon fruit plants and love watching your videos. They’re so informative and have helped my little garden’s success. It’s hard to find different varieties here at my local nurseries. I’m interested in attempting your grafting methods. You wouldn’t happen to sell clippings to your subscribers? I would love to grow my collection of dragon fruit plants! 😅
Hi Richard, I don't get the Flora Nova products here in Barbados but I've seen a Dr Earth Cactus and succulents fertilizer. and was wondering if that can be used as a substitute?
Richard, I bought a dragonfruit plant from a nursery & it is already 4' tall when I bought it. I planted it in the ground & am now seeing growth. I don't know what to do next because this is my first one. Can you help if I send you a picture of it?
Thank you for your content. I need some help with my dragon fruit plant it started to flower and noticed that it has dropped fruit right after flowering. Any direction you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
Very well presented video. I'll be being some starts from you as soon as I get the container and posts built. Oh thats after im done with my hurricane shutters. But its so nice to see experienced person explain everything so completely
The famous Tabo!!! great vid, just got cuttings from my uncle and so hyped to see it grow. Just wanted to ask, if the stem is already having roots, can i split the cutting into 2 and flip it upside down? The stem he gave me has 4 roots coming out and he said I may be able to cut it in half and get 2 plants form one cutting. Is that correct?
No, don't flip it upside down. If you cut it in, say, half, let it sit and cure for a few days so the cut heals over and dries out, then plant that cut end. He has videos on this, do not plant the opposite end!
Hom many times a week do you water this late in the year in mid California. we are just up from Ventura ,the temps are dropping, is it to late to generate new buds after tipping now,?
@@Supercellgamer1 No, you will get a yellow-white. You can try using the pollen of one to fertilize the flower of the other, then get the seeds of the fruit and grow them. You might end up getting the yellow skin and red flesh that you want. Just like how children don't always inherited certain traits from each parents, the seedlings are the same. And also, you might want to graft the seedlings to mature plants to speed up the flowering/fruiting process. Otherwise it can take up to 7 years to get fruits from a seed.
Should I have cut the tops off my DF? They are starting to umbrella (still no fruit) is it too late to cut them now? Or should I let them be? I have 4 types growing in one pot and want to be able to keep track of them,
Hey, my dragonfruit cutting has rooted and produced a long spindly branch that I believe was due to not having enough sun over the winter, the original cutting is producing a new branch, should I remove the long spindly branch to get a healthier thicker branch, or will the spindly branch thicken as it now has more sun and proper support and I remove the new branch.
Richard, my dragon plants (grown from seeds) are about 4-6" tall now. What will happen to the 2 leaves (on the growing plants) and how soon will the plants transform. I am growing them indoors.
I planted a red dragon fruit. 2 issue: -Walnut tree in same yard (Joglone/toxicity) Will it affect Cactus? -Top middle branch broke off when still small. Will it grow another shoot?
Join his group on Facebook. There's a lot of members who sell the different varieties of dragonfruit. Or if you would like to wait, Richard is putting together a website to sell his cuttings of Dragonfruit.
can nonwoven plastic grow bags be used instead of clay or plastic pots? I don't have any place that sells them locally and they are very expensive online so I'm looking into alternative forms of potting. I still want to use 20 gallons and make a trellis but I'm not sure if using this plastic fabric would be a bad a choice? I would really appreciate the help or even a video on the different pros and cons of different pots used.
We live in Phoenix, AZ, I have a number of dragon fruit plants but they do not produce much due to extreme heat in summer. Is there a variety that will grow and produce well here in Phoenix? Thank you. Bob

When they get to your desired length, just snip the tip and it will stop growing longer

What month the flowers grows in USA.
Great Sharing👍👍👍
Can i ask something sir, what kind of fertilizer is that?
Sir they're saying hi by poking your nape hahaha aren't you hurt? 😂
Is it similar to growing a cactus cutting?
Hom many times a week do you water this late in the year in mid California. we are just up from Ventura ,the temps are dropping, is it to late to generate new buds after tipping now,?
Just depends on the soil. I check for dryness before watering. Sometimes it could go 1-2 weeks before having to water
Thanks for your tutorial in making trellis. What kind of fertilizers you used and where to get it? Thanks again
I am in rhe west indies Jamaica what country and where are you exactly .Do you take visitors on in your garden.
What happens if we graft a yellow-white with red-red plant
Can we able to get yellow skin red pulp fruit
@@Supercellgamer1 No, you will get a yellow-white. You can try using the pollen of one to fertilize the flower of the other, then get the seeds of the fruit and grow them.

Whats the name of the fertilizer use in your dragon fruit sir?
Do you think planting on just container plants will not easily fall.
