Thank you, eathreemdotcom! It always brings joy to my heart to inspire others to grow these mythical fruits! I’m glad that you’re going to try to grow some and take on the challenge!
Thanks much Richard, I have discovered your channel is now 3 days and all hooked on it and as abscessed with growing DF, , starting, thanks for sharing your vast knowledge so humbly
Fantastic and detailed demonstration. You demystify the process so well that anyone should feel confident to perform a horizontal graft for themselves. 😁😁😁
Many thanks Richard! I highly appreciate your job and knowledge you share with us. I have a double benefit from your vidios. Besides of getting information re DF I can practice my English listening skills as well 😉
Ooh, my asunta tip snapped off during the ride home. I think I'll try this. Might not work, cuz its a small thin piece, but it'll be cool to try. Thanks for the awesome vid!
Thank you Wayne! The easiest and most successful one in my opinion would be the Cleft Graft. I find it easier to match the cambium layer this way. Some like the horizontal method as well because it’s pretty straight forward.
I’m a noob at this but I would like to try some of your grafting techniques. Problem is I only 1 pot with a few plants in it that grew at the same time. Any advice on how I can try grafting?
Look very easy when you are grafting. I noticed you use very long pieces of tape for the graft. Is it better support of scion and rootstock using long piece of tape? Congrats on your success of original Palora horizontal graft. Waiting list for a Palora cutting in 2020 please? Mahalo, Danny
Thanks Danny, I like to use long tape for my graft is because its easier to handle and it is secure to more surface area keeping it more secure and sturdy. It also prevents the chance of the tape getting loose because more of it is on the graft. Once you give it a try you'll know what I'm talking about. I will put you on the waitlist for a Palora cutting once they are ready.
Medical Micropore tape works great and sticks very well to surface area. It doesn't get loose even with humidity and moisture. Give it a try you'll love how sticky and secure it is!
I would like to know is it recommended to craft two types together like this will it fruit sooner,? Also could the calis area where the two peaces where joined would that break easily or does it grow stronger in time
Hi Richard I picked up a dragon fruit in a hanging basket some of my branches are split. What should I do with the plant. I can send you pictures of the plant. Newbie that can use help
I have a question, that I hope you can answer. I purchased 2 Sugar Dragon cuttings on eBay. I've decided to root them in water. Do you need to use freshly cut dragon fruit to adhere to the root stock, or can you use a cutting that you received from a seller, that was cut a few weeks ago? I worry that my cuttings aren't fresh enough to use on a horizontal draft and am thinking that I should wait until they root and are more plumped up. What are your thoughts? Thank you!
Thanks Richard im barely learning about dragon fruit gardening and your channel is gold... one question are there any benefits to using a root stock over rooting cuttings or is just another option?
ok so if i have an edgars baby which needs a pollinator and i cut a piece off of my yellow df to graft onto the edgar what will the fruit be like? will it need a pollinator like the root stock?
Hi Fuzzy, you can use any rootstock to graft your scion. It wont change the genetics of the graft. The purpose of grafting is to enhance and speed up growth. The Edgar Baby will still need a pollinator even if it was grafted on a rootstock that is self pollinating.
Hi Richard, am Tuan, big fan of ur channel. I would like to ask you if it is possible to graft a dragon fruit young seedling on a regular cactus rootstock ? I have a cactus that have the same shape as dragon fruit plant but it s not dragon fruit. Unfortunately, i dont know what kind of cactus is this one. Thx in advance.
Hi Richard I have a question. In Asia I seen videos on a double even a threeple root graf. I try it with mango and papaya. You think is possible to do this method, with dragon fruit? I do not have enough plant to try. What do you think?✌🇲🇽
Hi Rafael, this is totally possible! I have a rootstalks with double grafts on one rootstalks. They are growing at the same rate and very quickly. I also have been attempting to do a triple graft on one rootstalk. You can definitely do it, give it a try!
Hi I know I'm late to this video and comments, but I think Rafael was referring to inter-rootstock grafting, as in one as roots then another as intersection then desired graft on top. Where as you are referring to cocktail trees Richard. I too have seen a video with this technique in Latin countries. Thanks for sharing and inspiring all of us @grafting dragon fruit
Hi pshaoutube, here is the link to the grafting tools. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B011Y47ZOE/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B011Y47ZOE&linkCode=as2&tag=graftingdrago-20&linkId=89babe4407cd14107ba08b3d9a47d50f
I have a question please, so just grafting for dummies lol the rootstock if that is a mature plane white dragon fruit and you graft on a young dark star cutting as egsample, it will grow out and fruit dark star? The white will have no affect on the fruit taste? And will it fruit sooner? Faster this way? Thank you very much for all your videos by the way.
Hue Tu, I have successfully grafted dragon fruits with these items: (1) clean and sharp pruning shear, (2) clean and sharp knife, (3) masking tape, (4) grocery plastic bag, and (5) jute twine string. To graft and grow dragon fruits, we do not need to have everything that Richard shows us in his videos. To remove dragon fruit spines, for example, you don’t have to buy that fancy grafting tool set. Clean and sharp kitchen knife will do the job. You have probably noticed that Richard likes to show us his fancy (and expensive?) tools. However, in my opinion, they are not all necessary. My mother used to tell us to use what we have: wish not, want not.

I have a challenge for you. The landscape guy accidentally broke off a spike on my yellow dragonfruit. I have been babying this nub of a cutting I got off Amazon for 5 years. This year it finally blossomed and two fruit set. Guess which spike they were on…. Well to say I am heartbroken is an understatement. Is there any hope? Can I graft the spike back on? Any chance the fruit will survive?/
Well, the gauntlet has been thrown down. I already had the miropore (I am a nurse). So it is now grafted…taped six ways to Sunday and supported with a plank. Say a prayer…

Excellent work
Richard, is it 10 days with the bag and then 5 more days before going in the sun or is it 15 more days before going in the sun?
Is that a dragon tattoo? So you grow dragon fruit and you have a dragon tattoo? That's cool.
congratulations
OMG I’ve been waiting for this
Sorry that it took so long! More grafting methods coming soon. Thank you for being patience!
Hi RIchard, I'd like to know how do you decide whether to do a horizontal graft or a cleft graft. Thank you.
Hi, great channel. Q: does it matter which rootstock you use? does it need to be red with red and yellow to yellow or cross color s fine? cheers
Excellent video and clear instructions. Thank you for sharing. Which grafting method is easier to succeed?

Great thanks
Can you make. A video on fertilising and watering
My dragon fruit flower started to bloom and when I tried to pollinate it there was no pollen coming out. Do you know why?
Very good 👍
must try your tape method, seems easier to obtain a correct positioning than mine (I use nylon female collants as elasitic band)
Medical Micropore tape works great and sticks very well to surface area. It doesn't get loose even with humidity and moisture. Give it a try you'll love how sticky and secure it is!
Richard. I live in southwest Florida. I have several plants growing, but I bought them on eBay. Where can I buy d.g. That you would use?
I would like to know is it recommended to craft two types together like this will it fruit sooner,? Also could the calis area where the two peaces where joined would that break easily or does it grow stronger in time
Very nice
Nice bro..
Thank you Hadi
how long does it take to bear fruit?
I really enjoy your videos of dragon fruit and eating tbem as well. I was wondering, can I grow dragon fruit in North Carolina?
silly question, what is the tape you used to hold the graft together? I tried the scotch and white tape but they don't hold at all.

Have you ever used Buddy Tape to wrap your Dragon Fruit graft?
Hi Martin, I haven't tried Buddy Tape but ill look into it!
After that one took can you cut it up so we can see the inside and how they bond?
I will make a separate graft to show you the inside once it bonds.
ok so if i have an edgars baby which needs a pollinator and i cut a piece off of my yellow df to graft onto the edgar what will the fruit be like? will it need a pollinator like the root stock?
The scion maintains the properties of the graft's source plant. If it is self pollinating you are all good.
Hi Fuzzy, you can use any rootstock to graft your scion. It wont change the genetics of the graft. The purpose of grafting is to enhance and speed up growth. The Edgar Baby will still need a pollinator even if it was grafted on a rootstock that is self pollinating.
I notice you don't expose the cambium layer on one side and put a hole in the other. Does it make a difference?
Hi Richard ,
When is good time for grafting dragon fruit ? Thanks.
I'll try this method...... thank you...... by the way, what kind of fertilizer you recommend?
Can i use young df stem as scion for grafting? How about matured stem?
Hi Richard, am Tuan, big fan of ur channel.
I would like to ask you if it is possible to graft a dragon fruit young seedling on a regular cactus rootstock ? I have a cactus that have the same shape as dragon fruit plant but it s not dragon fruit. Unfortunately, i dont know what kind of cactus is this one. Thx in advance.
What type of grafting is best for young shoots scion?
So would applying vaseline helps in the process? or you actually want to have this dried up as part of the process?
