I'm from Trinidad and Tobago. My dragon fruit like this was ready by day 34 from blooming/pollination date. It was shaking, cracked and everything already. It tasted awesome and was pretty huge.

Yes! I'm from Trinidad and Tobago as well. I'm at Day 33 and it's pretty red. I think a few more days should do. I'll check using these methods

I love to look at all your dragon fruits & dragon plants. It's so green and healthy. I have never thought I would grow any dragon fruit until I'd watched your videos three months ago. Now, my cutting has rooted, but has not grow in height yet. I'm excited to see all your plants doing so well. I hope my cutting will grow soon so I can put in the 20 gallons pot like your's. Thank you for inspiring us all to start our dragon fruits plant.

I absolutely love all your tips !!! One thing about your dragon fruits is , you keep them clean and their all healthy looking ... I have watched other owners of their dragon fruits , some of theirs is like skinny long and not producing or not looking healthy at all ... But you keep yours organized and and clean and you gives more tips more than other owners does ..... Keep up the good work and I can’t wait to plant some one day ?!?! 👌⭐️👍🥰

I'm a dragon fruit enthusiast and have one cactus which has a yield of 12 fruits. Some haven't made it to full size and I wasn't sure when to harvest them. Now I am. Great video and thank you Richard for sharing your knowledge. Now a subscriber. :)

I have been trying to get fruit from my dragonfruit plant for 7-8 years now! I guess i should have watched your videos sooner! But i now have my first ever pink dragonfruit, but wasnt sure when to pick it! Its only day 35, but it passes all your other tests, so, thank you! My plant only produced 1 fruit! So, i was worried about picking it too soon and ruining the only fruit i have!! Also, I live in Australia, and its been very hot for quite a while, this is the end of summer for us. Im guessing the heat maybe ripened it quicker?! Anyway, thank you! Now, to eat!!

Hi Richard Have been watching your videos since last year and they have helped me being a novice. Had no idea how to grow or even how many varieties there were. Got my first dragon fruit ready to be picked. So exciting. 😍. I am not sure if you have mentioned the cutters you use to cut off the dragon fruits. Could you please say what they are so I can buy it.

How far apart are your pots? They look like about 6 feet apart. I am planning my DF "garden" and am looking at dimensions. Also it look in this video like you have had to add some 2x4 vertical supports to your trellises. Are there any modifications to your original "Trellis #1 & #2" videos you recommend? Love your videos!!! I have learned a ton of useful information and will soon be harvesting my first fruit after 3 years!!

one of my plants has so many blooms this year im so excited. last year i had 3 fruits each from 2 of my plants. my question is after fruiting is all done theres nasty black scaring on that branch where the fruit was should i trim that branch or just leave it. the white dragon fruit is not really doing anything but making more branches, its so far behind my red DF is there anything i can do to encourage my white to bloom.

Great video! I have the yellow dragon fruit so it won't be ripe for another few months. I have 1 fruit that was successful and 1 that was not. I was wondering if the 50% success rate has to do with it being pollinated by its own pollen instead of cross pollinating even thought it is self fertile. Would cross pollinating increase the likelihood of fruit set?

@magicofoilwithbenlashley8807 Жыл бұрын

You need to pollinate by hand even with self fertile plants to help ensure pollination, but yes, cross pollination can increase success a lot of times.
