Love you guys so much!
The easiest way I learned to get rid of the seeds is to get some cold water put it in a jar put the dragon fruit in the jar shake vigorously and then use a strainer and now you have a drink and you have your seeds. If you want you can press any chunks that are remaining through the screen and still enjoy the lovely taste.
omg. genius. im going to try it.
@@growithjessieit worked for me too!
Basically that's what I've done. Squash the flesh. Put it in a jar. Let it sit overnight. The free seeds are on the bottom. Those in the flesh can be separated. The flesh floats and can be poured or scoooed out. I added a 1/4 tablespoon spoon of vitamin C powder and drank it.🎉
I admire your dedication…I’m also a self taught horticulturalist(sorta) starting at the very bottom- I killed all my air plants, which is nearly impossible. Now I’ve gone from a small raised garden to apple, peach, blueberries, magnolia, living stones, etc. I just started the growing from seed journey after I found sprouted seeds in a Granny Smith! I did some research and that’s kinda rare, so I took it as a sign I needed more apple trees and these babies needed a mother! Hopefully I will have some luck, but your video definitely inspired me to keep trying even if I don’t!
Every air plant I’ve ever had died as well! But apparently you’re just supposed to leave it there. No misting or dirt, it’s crazy!
The white bugs (springtails) are a REALLY good sign for soil quality! They don't need to freak you out, they make your little plant pot bioactive
really?!?!?! okay, i guess i got some good quality soil hahaha
@@growithjessie them with rolly polls are called the cleaners of a ecosystem.
No way. I had no idea. They used to gross me out and ill throw my herbs away. I'll have to start growing herbs again. Thank you
Dragons are so fun to grow! They are really great indoor plants. But fun tip: They are tropical cacti and therefore out of my own growing experience can deal with a bit of wet soil pretty well. They are pretty nutrient hungry though.
If you would like to try another pretty difficult plant to grow I can only warmly warmly recommend passion fruit or it's sweeter brother the granadilla, wich I prefer over regular passion fruit😊
i had a ton of fun. they are thriving now. im really excited
With cacti you should probably feed them once every two weeks and in their growing season you should get cactus food. It has all the nutrients they need to grow
agreed. will do that this year with kelp
@@growithjessie happy I could help!
That was great 👍 I'm growing yellow dragon fruit. It's the sweetest one. I did a short video of the fruit a few weeks ago. I have 2 pots filled with mixed dragon fruit plants. I'm going to try and divide them. Must be about 50 in each 4 inch pot. I saved them from the trash at a garden center. Have a great day and happy planting 🌱🌿😊🤗
Same I’m yellow dragon fruit
Epic gardening has a really good video on pollenating dragon fruit by hand, using a hand vacuum and a small brush!
ur voice is so like funny and calming and it's making me wanna keep watching and i don't get bored because ur doing what's fun for you and i guess i enjoy it😦😦
You are so cool! You're hilarious and talented, and I love your scientific approach and determination. I love watching people fall in love with something and delve deeply into it. Good luck with your baby dragons!
that is so kind of you, thank you so much for saying that. it's safe to say that i have fallen deeply in love with fruits and veggies LMAO
Lol. I love your energy. I laughed all through this. Editing is brilliant. 10/10 🤣🤣🤣
Awwww. thanks for stopping by, I appreciate you so much! you just made my whole day!!!
@growithjessie I'm really glad! I just watched your starfruit video too 😄 Love learning about plants by committing to grow something!! Thanks for the entertainment and new knowledge!
Pretty sure some of those bugs are springtails! They are so good for plants! They eat rot and mold and help aerate the soil
if only they ate the squirrels
Congrats for your efforts!!! It is recommendable to wash the seeds before planting them so they can germinate better.
thank you so much!
The fruit itself acts as a time capsule for the seeds. To sprout them all at once you need to wash the seeds. Get all the goop off
that is such a unique and detailed thought. thank you
Girl I love you and your love for plants. You inspire me
ugh. thank you so much. luv u
Another thing to keep in mind is that they don't like to be watered too much but they do like to be spritzed with water just not the soil in their natural environment water would condense in the early morning on them for a brief period of time
truth to this!! thank you!
Girl you need a greenhouse with all these tropical plants you keep trying to grow. 😅 They make good potted plants though they need a really big pot to make fruit.
im working on purchasing a property so i can build a winterized one for all my tropical fruit trees :)
this video makes me just want to grow a bunch of my favourite fruits
DO IT NOWWWWWWWW
Shred Irish spring soap and put around plants. It deters squirrels deer and other insects. Circle the plants completely.
so smart, im going to try it
I love cacti apples! My old roommate had 3 of these cacti outside of her house so whenever they would blossom I'd have to fight the birds to get the fruit.
they are soooooo good!
So entertaining to watch and listen to your commentary! Subscribed and thanks for sharing!
awwwwww that makes me so happy. thank you so much!!
“a mean☺️, MEAN👹 compost bin”😭😭😭 but this encouraged me to want to get over my fear of insects. I want to garden but I’m so scared of bugs it’s crazy
LMAO!!!!!
Shrinking leaves mean that the cacti is growing perfectly
My imaginary personalities are giving all of your personalities a standing ovation!!! 😳 Oh...sometimes your dragon fruit reminded me of what mint chocolate ice cream would look like if it was a fruit!!! Thanks for taking the time to make something so entertaining!
Looks like we're all on the same page here!😁👍
@Jamie Curran Thanks for adding to the conversation Jamie! See you at the next Multi Pers Con!!!
Dragon fruit is delicious!!!😊😅
You should try making jelly out of it! That like 1000x better that the dragonfruit itself
hii! my first time being here less than 2 hours after it’s posted! so amazing how you did that with the dragonfruit. i have one so i might try this.
Squirrels are not approaching your pots from above lol
Ur voice is relaxing
COMING BACK FROM THE DEAD got me laughing
hahahaha im glad i could make you laugh
haha
I’m growing yellow dragon fruit. They just spouted and are growing good. I live in South Georgia and the winter is not as harsh but can kill it but the summer are perfect for it.
I love these videos!…Especially the sound effects parts!😂❤
4:59 I love that shape
thanks
Super cool video!
Since you’ve already been growing them for a year, if it will produce fruit in most other climates you would expect them next year, but since you are in Canada, I think in two years, you will get your dragon fruit, and the cycle of life will start again!
thank you so muchhhhhhh
I luvvvvv everything that you did here, ur new subscriber, now im going to binge watch ur other vids!
thank you SOOO much
Give them some copper and plant food weekly. I stay in pretty cold place and it’s growing well. They’re growing and during the winter I cover them up. I’m based in South Africa 🇿🇦
thanks for this tip. copper is an interesting idea that I am looking forward to trying out
@@growithjessie you’re welcome - I use Seagrow plant food btw. Not sure if you get it that side.
This is chaotic and i love it
chaos only. LMAO
Your editing is very unique lol
😂
I may have to sub
thank you so much
I have almost all the types of dragon fruits growing plus a white one taking over a big peach tree
me too!! what about cactus pear? :)
@@growithjessie I think I have 1 I am not 100% sure tho
FUN FACT: If you are growing worms, you can compost most of their poop, then once you did, you can boost plants with the poop!
You can also put the worms in then you get an infinite grow farm.
That we quite literally birthed ourselves 😂😂😂😂😂 so true
lmao!!!!!! that's how it felt
does the mold help out when growing? I really want to try to plant some dragon fruit, soo delicious
if there is a lot of sun, yes. if it's in a dark spot - no
Im growing a yellow dragons from the store! They are doing well on their second summer.
i love that! they must be big now no?
@@growithjessie they actually aren't as big as I expected but they are doing well! I think they'll be be successful
I am early and I love your videos I have learned so much I find you are very funny
😮 bet if we all plant people's lived in a warm tropical place could you amagine all tf ge plants we would have
I saw a comment on another youtube channel and it said that “ it takes about five years for a dragon fruits to start producing fruits because the plant is not fully matured “
I do this in little pots, grow them up and sell them at a flea market
Why did you not slice the dragon fruits in slices, maybe, than you could have grown more?
My dad put a few thin slices on wet kitchen swipes an let them grow at first there. And than, when they started to grow, he put them in soil. He had many tiny dragon fruit plants. They grow a few cm ( maybe 10 cm) and what then happened, I don't know. This is more than ten years ago.
good idea!
Now this is called presentation.
Love this ❤ but where's the update? :D
Dragonfruit may be a cacti but they originally come from south east Asia; their natural climate is actually very wet (I think almost like a tropical rainforest) so that could be why they kept dying
No wonder mine are growing so well!!! I live right next to a rainforest
@@Wombatwrongbat I live in a desert, I’m always unsure if my dragonfruit needs more or less water because of where it comes from/the fact it’s a cacti 😂
@@tatinightmare oof, when I first started growing them I was the same
@@Wombatwrongbat growing a viable food garden is a fun a challenging experience. Once you get lots of food it’s so satisfying
@@tatinightmare I agree, when I was 10 I grew baby carrots and I was thrilled just from getting 15
I haven't looked yet but if we don't have an Update around now ish then that's what we need
Girl I love your videos 😂😂😂😂😂
thank you so so much
The apple cacti look like mangos 😂
hahahahahahh so true!
“A few were COMING BACK FROM THE DEAD” 👹
🫣😂
To deter mammals from eating your plant get cheap hot pepper powder or sauce. This is only good for mammals. If you feed birds you can use hot pepper powder since birds don't feel the heat.
im growing garlic, onions, hot peppers, curry, cumin, lemongrass, thyme, rosemary. and i put them around all my plants to try and deter them
@@growithjessie to keep squirrels away from the bird feed I mix in cheep hot sauce from the dollar store.
question? what type of climate did you grow them in?
this was the summer in canada, so it was about 25-30 degrees celcius
@@growithjessie ok thnx
You earned my sub! 🎉
AWWW thank you so so much
She’s so underrated
As I’m watching your video o go outside and noticed my dad was growing a dragon fruit tree as well 😭😭😭 I didn’t even know 😂
hold up!!! at the end you talked about how great the apple cacti was but you didn't mention whether you tried to grow it or not... Ahhhhhh 😱🤣
How many average number of seeds can u find in the fruit
4:52 😂😂
Hello Jessie love ur content
Those little bugs near the start are called springtails. They eat decaying matter
springtails eh!!! do we like them?
@@growithjessie Springtails are really helpful. They'll eat all the rotting flesh of the dragonfruit so it's not making the soil all rank
These grow in sandy, rocky soil with good drainage. That soil is way too moist for any cactus. Their roots are very vulnerable to rot. At least half of the substrate should be mineral. Pumice, granite, perlite, lava rock, coarse sand (not fine sand! It will kill it), etc. The reason why so many of your seedlings died is because you used a soil that retains too much moisture and is too rich. Cactus seedlings are extremely vulnerable and need a proper growing medium. Older plants can deal with subpar soils, but the young ones not so much.
Even though she talks a lot, its very fun actually and the edits are good
thank you so so so much
Entertaining 😂
Hi love. Your videos
get a sentry turret to fire small sunflower seeds at the squirrels.
that’ll keep them off.
omg. dart seeds at them eh?!?! brilliant lmaoo
Every time I go to Starbucks I get the dragon fruit drink with lemonade
yummmmmmm
You are amazing ❤
Mine are a few inches tall now. ❤❤
😂 100 BABY DRAGONS 🐉
YEAHHHH
does it need to be old and moldy to start?
nope
Every time I see a squirrel, I fat shame it. This is why.
hahahahhahaa
You must’ve have a greenhouse
I love this
thank you so much!
Is this related to prickly pear ?
yes! cousins!
Very informative and entertains I love you wth🥹😂
awwwwwwww luv uuuuu thank you for stopping by and for your beautiful comment!
i need to do this!!
lmk if you do!
Why are u growing horm worms? Cucumber beetles too difficult?
they sell them at the local pet store here :)
So did you grow any dragon fruits yet… I’m actually kinda curious about this
one of my plants is about 3 feet tall, and it should grow by the end of the summer. i hope!
Too funny 😂😂
thank you so much
I found out the reason why, Dragon fruit won't taste like anything is because they are harvested too early. I spent 6 bucks on one that didn't have any taste. So I'm doing my Dragon fruit challenge and they have started to sprout in the paper towel.
the yellow ones are the best and sweetest!
We don't have dragon fruit in our country 😭. What do they taste like?
where are you from?!
Coming back from the dead👹
LMAO
😂😂😂 you are crazy ❤
hehehehhe only a bit
🤗
hugs!
Who else thought she was saying "oldy moldy"
oldy moldyyyyyy has a nicer ring to it haha
Fun Fact!
Dragon Fruit are called Maracuya in Spanish!
I thought Maracuya was passionfruit in spanish?!?!
¡Mentira! Se llama Pitaya, Maracuyá es otra fruta
@@growithjessieit is
Okay, so now my question is as to why you don't have a greenhouse or something to keep the plants safe from the rodents?
im currently looking to purchase a property and im going to build an outdoor, winterized greenhouse that houses all my tropical fruit plants so they can actually grow and fruit in canada in the winter - and to make sure the little squirrels stay away haha

hello! thanks for the hearts!
@@growithjessiethat’s ok love you ❤️
That is from an apple cactus, not really a dragon fruit. It is a Peruvian apple.
which one? :)
When she dies she’s going to be Mother Natures daughter ❤
thank you
banger
absolute
4:40 you know talking them probably does work because they use the CO2 to make energy…🤯 I just had a eureka moment
love it
Nice!
thanks!
They are ver prolific.
true!
Uhhh, why not but a screen pop-up net over them with repent around it?
great idea! going to try this
