I got a cutting back in the summer and really didn't know what to do, I found this video and followed the instructions, I just checked my plant and was happy to see roots, I repotted him and now looking forward to seeing him grow his best life
You forgot to mention they are a climbing cactus. You need to stake them. If you don't they will lay over. They will develop little hairs looking for something to hold on to. Once they are staked they will grow like weeds!!
I like your videos. Like @Teresa Delgado was saying you can take cuttings from the center sections of the plant and they can be just as successful, you just need to let them heal for a few days after you cut them, then plant them. You can also cut the bottom part into a point so that not as much of the fleshy part of the DF is in contact with the soil where it would be more susceptible to rot.
Oh my goodness, my dragon for went all over the living room this winter!! It's going in all different directions & a pc just decided it needed to be planted. 😂
You don't have to add fertilizer, but I did and then actually saw it start to grow fast. Before, I had it planted and it grew roots for a year, but not much growth of the cactus itself. I thought it died. After a year I put fertilizer sticks in the soil and it started growing.
I do have different types of dragon fruits. When you cut it like you did the long piece in 3 sections you need to let the cutting part dry for at least 1 to 2 weeks. After that you can plant them and they will grow.
The middle sections may not have made it because you didn't allow them to callous. So you dried the cutting but then cut into it so that the fresh cut was exposed to dirt. Am I wrong?
@PottyShidder Thanks... mine never bloom. And my fig trees also small after 2 years +. I grow it from cuttings. Do you know why? could it be not enough sun lights? Thanks again.
The reason the middle sections got rotten is because you planted them without letting them dry (Callus) first before planting. But they do grow.
This was really helpful, I just got my first cutting from trading with friends.

Thanks, I will try it
Thanks sir
I didn't have success with dragon fruits they seem to develop rusts, how can I avoid that?
Would a cactus soil work?
Any soil works... it just needs sun and warmth
Good Job 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤

How much time does it take to grow roots?
Love from india...
Hi,
Love your site. I am struggling to grow Avocado plant. I played 3 plants but no luck. I live in Walnut Creek. Any suggestions?
Can you do a video on persimmon trees
will do :)
look like time to get a new knife, haha
So different ways to grow then 🍅🥝fresh fruits got to be careful
Looks very similar to doing aloe Vera?
Hey Jaq not a lot of people like dragon feuit
Why not, they are delicious!! :)
That's okay, more for those who like it. 😏
My dragon fruit tree doesn’t produce fruits…. Why?
@PottyShidder Thanks... mine never bloom. And my fig trees also small after 2 years +. I grow it from cuttings. Do you know why? could it be not enough sun lights? Thanks again.
The middle ones died cause you didn't let them sit for four days after cutting them lol!
You're sharing wrong information. It doesn't have to be the top of the dragon fruit plant for it to grow. You simply have to let the middle dry first
So much misinformation
