Hey, love the videos! A question about cuttings. Do you know if I can plant a cutting taken off a young Dragon Fruit which has not yet flowered/produced fruit, and still eventually get fruit off the new plant started from the cutting? Or should you use cuttings off plants that have already flowered? Not sure if it makes a difference and wondering if you know. Thanks :)

Perfect timing, I'm building my trellis today and transferring the plants I got from Oceanside! Do you ever add another cutting or rooting plant to the 20 gallon pot later? I only have 3 cuttings now, but hopefully my Asunta 3 offshoot will root and I want to add that later to the pot. Loving your vids, I'm super excited to start growing dragon fruits!!!

@yvetteconroy1906 3 жыл бұрын

you may put a small container in side of 20 gallon pot , just reserve a place for your 4 th cutting in there later

@GraftingDragonFruit 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Chris, I do add another cutting or rooting plant into the 20 gallon pot later after I have other cuttings that are ready. Just make sure you leave room and plan it out to add it in later. I have't had any issues with doing that but obviously its best to do it sooner than later because the other cuttings may root and steal the area for you to plant a 4th cutting in the future.

Or should they be potted separately? Also will cactus soil mix work for them? We don’t get the soil mix that you have here. Thank you.

Great Video you are the Master of Dragon Fruit Plants. I have one question How long on average does the cutting that you put into the 1 gallon pot take to develop roots. I live in South Florida and my concern is planting the cuttings in my Large Permanent container and having it exposed to the sun. The card board for protection isn't really a good idea because we get rain every day. So I'm thinking its best to place cuttings in the one gallon pots and keep in the shade until roots are developed. Thank you

So what do i have to do before I transfer them to the big pot? And also I think I'm in the wrong season starting it because Winter just started in Australia. Would they still grow? Thanks very much in advance Richard. I hope you can help me.

@frankliao1663 3 жыл бұрын

Liked and subscribed a while ago. Thanks for another helpful video. I have one question, Is having different varieties in one pot a good idea? I saw another KZfaqr say it's not a good idea to have different varieties because they compete in the pot and maybe different types of dragon fruit is more vigorous than others? I imagine having different types in one pot is good for cross pollination though.

Nice video! Is there a bubble at the bottom of the pots you use? I bought mine online and it had a bubble at the bottom so the trellis didn’t sit flush so I dug into the wood post a little for it to sit flush.

@GraftingDragonFruit 3 жыл бұрын

When I go purchase my 20 gallon pots. I make sure that bubble isn't there. I've had issues with the trellis not sitting flat with that before and now I just use concrete base to weigh it down.
