I watched this video over a year ago, got inspired, bought a dragon fruit undatus (white inside), in a Chinese supermarket in Elmhurst New York, cleaned and planted many. They are now about the same size as the one's in your video, and I'm watching this again to say hi. Now I need to learn to make a video too. Thanks for posting this one!
Fantastic :) Thank you for coming back. I think it's great that you've had success with growing some dragonfruit.. they are crazy plants and fun to grow. they seem to have a life of their own. I look forward to seeing some pictures some time :)
your welcome :) yes they are so easy to sprout from seeds... i liked these ones a lot because not only did they sprout easily but they grow fast. most cactus seeds stay tiny for many years from seed.
Thanks :) your right it is hard to find homes for these spikey plants... i'm surprised that your having a hard time finding homes for your agave though... they are such beautiful plants...
that's what it grow out to be from only 3 cutting. you don't really need big space for it. just don't let it grow out of control from the bottom, when it reach to the top. then you can let a few more growth behind.
Bill i seen something about dragonfruit the person took hemp cord wrapped it around the dragonfruit and made like a tree the bigger they grow the tighter and fruit more. Could you try something like this.
LOL - you sound like me when you say "Not really prepared" U make me laugh. Things get put off (and I know what that's like.) Good that you finally rescued them and re-planted the seedlings. hehe.
Love the update, they look so cute!! I have lots of cactus and often have to trim them back, I just have to toss the trimmings because its hard to find people that aren't terrified of them..lol. I am working on the overgrown Agave..I have so many and can only find 3 people that want some.
Hi how are you? It's been a year since I added a message. I was eating some yellow extremely sweet dragon fruits and thought about the dragon fruit plant that you planted years ago. can you give me a little bit of an update on how it's doing? I just started growing mine the way you taught and came out very nice. Thank you in advance 😊
i'm so happy you started growing your own :) It's fun... they grow so fast for a cactus. as for an update.... i gave this plant away a few years ago... no more updates on this one.
I will totally keep you in mind Kyle. I might be getting to that point soon. I'm really getting over run with plants at the moment. I might add you to facebook :)
it will don't too worry. but it just take a lot longer because it from seed. if you plant from cutting be 1 - 2 years, but please do give update on your, as I do really want to know the time it take
How is your dragon fruit going? Lol I was like nooo don’t put them in the compost. It’s a shame no one close by could take them for you. I get it though cos I too don’t have the room to grow every thing I want to grow. I have just germinated some dragon fruit seeds myself but they are still seeds but just starting to have the white roots coming out. So they are just starting to burst out of their seeds. I am germinating them in water and then will be transplanting them into soil soon as they have all sprouted.
Thank you for watching :) Sorry that i made you sad by adding them to my compost bin.. i wish i had the space to keep everything.. i also wish that i could just pop them into the mail and give them as gifts to my viewers but sadly the boarder police would not like that so much..lol maybe in the spring, summer and fall i will ship some plants out to some canadian viewers :)
My long term goal Mark is to get a bigger house...lol.. i'll need it..lol.. growing a banyan tree inside and the giant coastal redwood inside as well. maybe i will buy a bigger saw :) so i can chop their heads off when they get too tall..lol. but with the dragon fruit i might toss it in the compost when it gets too big... it's more of a fun project
It's too bad I'm just now finding this video. I'd be glad to take any extras you can spare! I don't know if you're still growing some or not, but I think it would be fun to have at least 1 or two to try.
What's your long term goal with them Bill? Those things get huge and I'm sure that you know they won't survive outside in your zone. Might be time for a bigger house with a bigger grow room.
TY very much for sharing. I always wanted to know how to grow Dragon Fruits. This is going to sound weird, but you have really nice hands..for a guy lol.
HEHE! that's Awesome :) good luck with your seed starting :) and that's funny.. Another Bill B :) my dad and grandfather are also Bill B's :) we will soon take over the world i'm sure...lol
How are your Dragon Fruit Cacti plants doing? Did you get fruits from them? By the way, I got a chance (for the first time) to taste them and they taste similar to the Nopalea (Nopal) fruit! Shockingly, they look similar but Nopal has no green claws on it. Only needles. The Dragon fruit is an interesting plant for sure. Gotta look into it.
Jasmine Gaston I let them dry for approx. 3 days... and I just lightly covered them with soil. you can even leave them on the soil surface if you have good humidity.
Very interesting this video, but I have a question. Why is this dragon fruit plant growing like in the video and while in other videos it is seen that it grows all up? bone without form. Muy interesante este vídeo, pero tengo una duda. por que esta planta de fruta de dragón crece como en el vídeo y mientras que en otros video se ve que el crece todo para arriba? osea sin forma.
Acttully I got some crassula cuttings if u want them. Its called spoon jade or gollum fingers I got no one to give them to and feel bad when I throw cutting out
Hello I know this video was made like 6years ago but can you give us an update about those seedlings how they are doing now and if you got some fruits? I wish I can get some seeds cause I live in Tunisia and this plant isnt common here. Have a nice day
Nice to see your video.. for the additional plants it was better if u planted them outdoors in any garden or park or any rural area and they will survive by their own... this would be better than throwing them in garbage
How old are these saplings? It's been 3 weeks now that I had germinated dragon fruit seeds, most of them have successfully germinated but are just 2-3 cms long and have 2 very tiny leaves on the top. Is this normal?
If your friends knew they could get $4. minimum for just one, they might become interested. lol Thanks for your sight. I want to grow some. I live in Ca. so good growing area.
:) the best thing about doing RUclips videos is meeting more "Plant Nuts"... sometimes I feel alone.. but then i come on here and realize there are soo many people out there that are just like myself :)
+Natonya Sherman I have had Many updates on this plant... 2 years ago I gave the plant away to a friend... it was a fun plant to grow... very fast growing
i live in the Caribbean and on my island of st Vincent we don't have this fruit and i would like to plant it here because i believe something like that is best in the tropics. what do you think? should i do it?
what a waste, why thrw any of them - just pot and give a way.. btw, excellent vids and instructions, just one critic; always wash what ever fruit or vegies, knife will drag what ever there is on the surface into the fruit as, you did when cutting the dragon fruit. :)

PlantzNThings got
Hh
Just watched ur video I’ve got a couple germinating I used the wet paper towel in zip lock bag method
your welcome :) yes they are so easy to sprout from seeds... i liked these ones a lot because not only did they sprout easily but they grow fast. most cactus seeds stay tiny for many years from seed.
I also planted dragon fruit seed and mine are in a mini green house and doing well. Thank you for sharing your video.
ugh! wish I lived closer!! I'd LOVE to have one! LOL
They are super easy to grow from seed harvested from the fruit :)
keep us updated on your seedlings :) these grow quickly when they get started, and given proper care :)
Oh dear - pity to waste the rest of them (I wish I could have had them) -
thanks for sharing & your other video too.
Yea, I'm still in the game...lol.. these guys are truely survivors.. They will get better care now that they've been transplanted :)
Thanks so much for this update :) I really love cacti and they 're so sprout so easily :p
Thanks :) your right it is hard to find homes for these spikey plants... i'm surprised that your having a hard time finding homes for your agave though... they are such beautiful plants...

So I’m not the only one the has no gardening mates get all this joy from growing and knowone to share it with haha feels bad
Bill i seen something about dragonfruit the person took hemp cord wrapped it around the dragonfruit and made like a tree the bigger they grow the tighter and fruit more. Could you try something like this.

Love the update, they look so cute!! I have lots of cactus and often have to trim them back, I just have to toss the trimmings because its hard to find people that aren't terrified of them..lol. I am working on the overgrown Agave..I have so many and can only find 3 people that want some.
Thanks... i will do my best to give it what it needs to thrive. i would LOVE if mine was to look as beautiful as yours some day :)

I gave the plants to an old friend a few years ago... haven't seen it since... :)
Thank you for watching :) Sorry that i made you sad by adding them to my compost bin.. i wish i had the space to keep everything.. i also wish that i could just pop them into the mail and give them as gifts to my viewers but sadly the boarder police would not like that so much..lol maybe in the spring, summer and fall i will ship some plants out to some canadian viewers :)
Thank you for the tips :) it is a cute plant... i'm sure if i don't prune it, it will overstay its welcome very quickly :)
Could you please make a playlist of the Dragon Fruit videos in the order they were made?
Jay H That's a Great idea... give me a little time... I will be on vacation next week so maybe i will group some videos together...
My long term goal Mark is to get a bigger house...lol.. i'll need it..lol.. growing a banyan tree inside and the giant coastal redwood inside as well. maybe i will buy a bigger saw :) so i can chop their heads off when they get too tall..lol. but with the dragon fruit i might toss it in the compost when it gets too big... it's more of a fun project

do you grow any Cactus/Succulents? or mainly orchids?
TY very much for sharing. I always wanted to know how to grow Dragon Fruits. This is going to sound weird, but you have really nice hands..for a guy lol.
Lol Thank you :)
Oh, the sound of guilt in your voice. Lol.
Janice B wtf?
I can use some plants. I am going to try I bought the fruit today:) excited
+debjani bhowmick Yay!!! Good Luck :)
I would love some but i have no space at the moment. I really want to grow a Jade.
Mine are nearly this size, a bit bigger and have no clue how to transplant or repot them. Thanks.
Thank you, for your info and I'm ready to grow this lovely fruit. Also My son too Bill B. ( William Buck)
HEHE! that's Awesome :) good luck with your seed starting :) and that's funny.. Another Bill B :) my dad and grandfather are also Bill B's :) we will soon take over the world i'm sure...lol

The Dragon fruit is an interesting plant for sure. Gotta look into it.
How long would I have to dry them out before planting them and how deep in the planting soil would I plant them?
Jasmine Gaston I let them dry for approx. 3 days... and I just lightly covered them with soil. you can even leave them on the soil surface if you have good humidity.
Very interesting this video, but I have a question. Why is this dragon fruit plant growing like in the video and while in other videos it is seen that it grows all up? bone without form. Muy interesante este vídeo, pero tengo una duda. por que esta planta de fruta de dragón crece como en el vídeo y mientras que en otros video se ve que el crece todo para arriba? osea sin forma.
i wish i could have one of those dragon fruit seedlings : ( awesome videos:D
Acttully I got some crassula cuttings if u want them. Its called spoon jade or gollum fingers I got no one to give them to and feel bad when I throw cutting out
Got a good feeling that root system started rotting into the soil and the plants fed on it to stay alive it would have been nothing but roots
Those are wonderful transplants why would you compost them? That made me so sad😕
Hello I know this video was made like 6years ago but can you give us an update about those seedlings how they are doing now and if you got some fruits? I wish I can get some seeds cause I live in Tunisia and this plant isnt common here. Have a nice day
I gave this plant away a few years ago. it was fun to grow but it was growing too crazy...lol
once you start see the flower is blooming you won't really want to toss it in the compost. trust me on this one
Nice to see your video.. for the additional plants it was better if u planted them outdoors in any garden or park or any rural area and they will survive by their own... this would be better than throwing them in garbage
here is my 3 years old dragon fruit, just from 2 cutting look how much it turn out
Subscribed! Thanks heaps for these videos! I'm gonna give this a go!
Hi, the baby needs cow compost. don't over water. keep it nice and neat. which is don't let it over grow and the baby need morning sunlight
Yeah or have a seed/transplant swap!! Maybe, send them to a community garden.
Mine died so I’m trying more seeds, I kept seeds aside in case I fail again.
Hi, did you get fruit or not.
I did not... I gave the plant away before it was mature enough
How old are these saplings? It's been 3 weeks now that I had germinated dragon fruit seeds, most of them have successfully germinated but are just 2-3 cms long and have 2 very tiny leaves on the top. Is this normal?
naman singhal yes
Yes. Wait and watch. The dragon will grow from the leaves
They are sooo easy to start from seed :) give it a try :)
How could you bear to discard them! They would have all recovered and thrived. Poor babies :/
Does it need a lot of sun to grow
papertowel seemed unneeded, but nice dragons!!
I wish I would've seen this earlier I would've totally wanted some haha. :(
Hola me encantan sus videos, tengo un cactus parecido a este y deseo saber si es un Dragonfruit, por favor ayúdele a identificarlo.
Did u soak them before. I wanted to try too.
If your friends knew they could get $4. minimum for just one, they might become interested. lol
Thanks for your sight. I want to grow some. I live in Ca. so good growing area.
I wouldn't mind having those
Finally found the update vid!
Itu bibitnya kayak gitu ya berapa tahun baru berbuah atau berapa bulan bosku
how long did your dragon fruit seed grows like that?
they were in that container for 8 months maybe a little longer.
where do you place your pot? Indoors or outdoors?
it was inside for winter and outside in Sumner
Interesting . Thanks
About how long did it take for the seeds to germinate?
Kyler Case I started seeing life within 7 days

I feel the same way as you , all my friends call me the old plant lady ...lol! I guess we could be addicted to a lot worse . :)
HAHA! Yes it could be worse :) i would prefer to be called the old plant lady over being called the OLD CAT LADY any day..lol

what a waste, why thrw any of them - just pot and give a way.. btw, excellent vids and instructions, just one critic; always wash what ever fruit or vegies, knife will drag what ever there is on the surface into the fruit as, you did when cutting the dragon fruit. :)

Hi, I need some red DragonFruit seeds. Does anyone here have some?
you can buy them for cheap on amazon or ebay for 2 dollars
Or buy a dragon fruit and collect your own & eat the fruit
