Hey Richard, ive watched your video about how to make your dragonfruit survive the winter, but i was also wondering, are there any varieties that are more winter-hardy than others? (Great video btw, keep it up!)
Ecuador palora are always a solid option. Mine still produce fruits through the winter in SoCal… our winters don’t get as cold or last long as many parts of the world though
What do you do with branches that are already hanging down low from the top of the trellis, and they start to curl, or those branches that start to grow these little small segments of branches?
Hi, I have planted two cuttings with roots. Both started growing really good initially but now both new sprouts are not growing well. One new branch is quite slim as compare to main trunk, other is fine and thick but have stopped growing further after 8 inches. Now the thinner branch growing but not a single new sprout is coming out. Height of the plants is almost 2.5 feet. Need your help. Please
Will skinny growth from light deficiency become thick and normal once you bring it out to the sun? Or should I remove the skinny growth and start over??
@GraftingDragonFruit thank you I had the same question. Ok I'm going to leave my growth. I have 30 percent shade and for some reason the branches got skinny on me. Now they get morning sun untill around 3 then 30 percent shade
@@mauriciodiaz1310 I put my cuttings under 60% shade cloth 😅 I guess that was over kill but summer is brutal temps are at 105-115. I didn’t want to cause any scorching but it seems they can handle more light/sun than we assume
Hi Richard, do slugs attack your dragon fruit plants? What do you use to keep slugs off your plants? I have a few dragon fruits, but each time new growth comes up they get eaten by slugs. Thanks
Yes I get them from time to time. I just stay vigilant and get rid of them when I see them. Also allowing spiders to live on the plants have help. You can probably find some slug preventative products in your garden supply store to help
Hey please i need help: i have a cutting that already rooted but all of its sides look like they are callis so i haven't got any side shooting since like forever what should i do?
Do you sell cuttings? I am interested to make an experiment since I live in a Colder climate like Seattle, Washington and would like to try. Pls let me know, thanks...
Question: My main branch has been cropped and it has 3 main robust new growth but I'm at an impasse. They seem to be stunted and haven't done much for awhile. What should be done after this stage? T.i.a.
I am growing a red dragonfruit variety but I have no clue to what variety it is I posted a RUclips short on my channel if someone were to tell me what variety it could be that would be amazing!
Omg bro. Im in loovee with dragon fruit.. Ive been studying it for so long Ive looked into dragon fruit topics I wont even ever need and have tried to grow my own. The local climate here in the Czech republic isnt ideal but the summers sure are hot so my plan is to take it out when its hot and keep it indoors when its autumn winter and such. But thats where the problem comes in its been 3 weeks and I dont see a single sign of germination. Ive devided them into two groups, one on a wet piece of towel the other in soil but neither has grown. The seeds were told to me to be 2 years old and Im hoping that 20 seeds is enough for me to grow it keeping in mind how old the seeds are. I am stressed bro I know the germination process can take up to 8 weeks but how do I know that that wait is going to result in it? Please send psychological help or a rope
Hi, my dragon frout plant is welthy& good conditim...its flowering good , but all flowers are fell off after bloom. Even 1 flower can not frouting( 2 .5 years plant..) what s the prblm???can u guide me what to do?
Im not Richard but I have seen many videos and in many videos he tells you that if it is self sterile it’s flower falls of if you pollinate it’s flower with its pollen. So it depends on whether or not it is self fertile or self sterile variety if if is a self fertile variety and it’s doing that then Richard would know. If it is a self sterile and pollinated with different pollen maybe it rejects the pollen? I don’t know for sure but Richard would know what the problem it is. Hopefully the problem will be fixed in the future.

Great advice, you have amazing passion for the hobby. It’s inspiring
Hello Richard! you are really the best dragon fruit grower teacher. thanks again for sharing this idea.
Please reply me if you can
I have a question
after you prunned how much day takes it to give new shoots 👀👀
Great to see how you do it. I have done some that way and works well to improve vigor and promoting new growth. Thank you Richard.
when you crop the top do you remove it from direct sun to avoid issues with it healing after the cut?
I needed this video! Thank you so much!!! I also want to ask about the winter, what temperature is dangerous
for dragons? Thank you in advance!❤
You’re welcome! Check out my video on winter tips
Looking great Richard! It would be nice to show how to tell a branch form a bud at the young stage. Thanks for the great videos
Thank you for watching! Can’t really control how if a branch decides to form a bud or another branch
I was waiting for next video
Can you upload more frequently
Very nice
Thanks for watching!
very useful information
Glad you think so!

@@GraftingDragonFruit alright thanks! Yeah over here in Canada the winter can get rough, so i wanted to be cautious 😄
Hey Richard just wondering what are your top three favorites ?
What do you do with branches that are already hanging down low from the top of the trellis, and they start to curl, or those branches that start to grow these little small segments of branches?
Did you change how you built the trellis? What size pots are those? Are you still using Gary’s Top Pot?
I didn’t change how built my trellis. Check out my most recent video on building trellis. 25 gallons and Yes these pots have Gary’s in them
Hi! Richard
Could you sale me some your dragon fruit branches? please let me know.
Thank you very much for your tips.

Hi. Richard. Thanks for update. I have to transplant quite a lot of plants. Any tips? Would like to avoid shocks…
😍. What fertilizer do you use?
Check out my video on getting super blooms

Hi thanks for your help!
Quick question the pots aren't a bit too near each other? Specially when they spread from the top? THANKS
What kind of fertilizer do you use and when is a good time to use it?
Check out my video on superblooms
Will skinny growth from light deficiency become thick and normal once you bring it out to the sun? Or should I remove the skinny growth and start over??
Once they get the right nutrients and sunlight, they can get thicker. Also tipping the branches when they’re ready will help as well

Hi Richard, Do you sell dragon fruit seedlings?
Not at the moment
Nice
Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
Do the ants eat buds?.. because my many buds has been half eaten😢 i also see squirrels and birds around my plant…

@@GraftingDragonFruit Thank you. I will look into that.
are those new plants growing in shade or partial sun?
Berry breath taste test video coming?
Yes definitely plan on it
Hey please i need help: i have a cutting that already rooted but all of its sides look like they are callis so i haven't got any side shooting since like forever what should i do?
How long have you had the plant?
@@GraftingDragonFruit it has been one and a half month now
@@bktaha7971 give it more time, new growth will come out👍🏻
@@KBDRAGONFRUIT i hope it does but i'm not too optimistic about it, might use it for grafting
Do you have dragon plant for sale ? Thank you
Not at the moment but hopefully soon!
@@GraftingDragonFruitI'm also interested in buying cuttings. I live in SD and have learned a lot from your videos. Thanks!

Can you ship cuttings?
What triggers it to flower?
I am growing a red dragonfruit variety but I have no clue to what variety it is I posted a RUclips short on my channel if someone were to tell me what variety it could be that would be amazing!
So what are the squares of each dragon fruit tops for? You've never explained why?
It's to let the plants grow over and into an umbrella
@GraftingDragonFruit Why you seem to have the 2x4 poles to help your dragon fruit stems already?
What is going on when the new growth is growing thin and not full and thick?
It’s still maturing and you can also tip the end when it’s ready
what do i do if the branch is growing really short (3-5 inch) branches but there are 4 in a row?
Prune them and let it continue growing
Do they have to be that tall? I’m growing it inside my home so it’s not possible for me to let them grow that much even though I want fruit
They don’t have to be this tall. It’s my preference for the trellis
