Hello. Usually the hylocereus undatus (white flesh) dragon fruit are of the fertile variety. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching. 👍😊👍 Cheers.

I would suggest 2 cuttings but you can go with just one. The dragon fruit is easy to propagate anyway. I suggest trimming out the side branches and just leaving one main while you are growing it. You can let the new branch to mature/grow a little bit before you trim it off so you can use it as a new cutting/planting material. I hope this answers your question. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching. Cheers.

Hello. Delight is one of those varieties of dragon fruit that needs cross pollination (pollens from another variety) in order to produce fruit. Did you cross pollinate? If your answer is no then I suggest getting a white variety to cross pollinate with the Delight. I hope this helps. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching. 👍😀👍 Cheers

Hello. 👍😄👍 I recommend adding chicken or steer manure compost to your plants. I add 2 scoops per plant of chicken manure compost or steer manure compost every month. I alternate between the two so if I use chicken manure compost this month then I will add steer manure compost next month. I currently also add about 2 tablespoons of osmocote 14-14-14 to each plant every month. The frequency of application will taper off as it approaches winter time (less daylight). When I add 14-14-14 I also add about 2 to 4 tablespoons of vermicast to each plant. I also do hand pollination which increases the chances of pollination occurring which will eventually increase the chances of the flowers developing into fruits. I hope this will help. Thank you for your question and thank you for watching. Cheers.

Hello. Have you tried hand pollination? Do you have different varieties of dragon fruit or do you have just one variety?

Hello. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching. 👍😀👍 Cheers

Suspended if you got one fruit from your hand pollination then that means your plant is not sterile. I had a couple of plants that I tried to hand pollinate and cross pollinate last year that were not fruitful so I said to myself that these plants are not going to fruit no matter what I do. But this year both have a bunch of fruits developing after doing hand/cross pollination. If this is the first year your dragon fruit plant is fruiting then maybe your plant has not reached its full maturity (potential). If it is on its second year of fruiting then I suggest to plant other varieties for cross pollination. I also collect pollens in one container whenever I can and I store it in the freezer so I always have pollens whenever it's needed. I don't know how long the pollens last if they are stored in the freezer but somehow it seems to work for me. I hope this somehow helps you. Thank you for watching. Cheers.

Thank you so much for your reply. You are doing Great work. Its second year and I got one fruit after cross-pollination.Can you tell me how you store the pollens.My tree gives so much flowers.In heat some flowers burned also.I think i did not give sufficient water. One tip for you,In your videos you are not using tags.If you use tags then your video can be come up in first page of youtube search and you can a get a lot of views from there.Thanks again

Suspended with a soft bristle brush I run it across the anthers (where the pollens are located) several times of the different flowers with a shallow plastic container (I used the plastic container that you get from Kentucky fried chicken side dishes-red cap) positioned underneath to catch the pollens. I mix all the pollens (old previously frozen and newly collected pollens from all different varieties of dragon fruit) in the container with the brush. I then hand pollinate each stigma with the mixture of pollens. After I hand pollinate all of the flowers that bloom I cover the container with the cap that came with it and put it in the freezer. The plastic container from Kentucky fried chicken seems to work well because it is shallow and it easily thaws after taking it out of the freezer. I usually start pollinating after (a minute or two) taking it out of the freezer. Using a glass container might take longer time to thaw so I don't recommend it. I hope this will help you. Thank you for your tip and thank you for watching. Cheers.

sackboymahalo Thank you so much Yesterday i pollinated .but in the morning there rain came.it did so much problem to pollinate

I hope your pollination will be successful even with the rain. Sometimes things happen which we have no control. All we can do is move forward. Best wishes to your dragon fruit planting. Cheers.

Hello. Did you try to hand pollinate and it still did not fruit? I do not pull out the sterile dragon fruits. I cross pollinate them. The sterile varieties that I grow I chose because of their relatively bigger in size and good flavor. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching. 👍😊👍 Cheers

How do you take care of your dragon fruit? Do you bring them indoors to shelter them from the weather? Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching. Cheers.

I personally have not used coffee grounds on dragon fruit so I don't know if they serve as good fertilizer but I've used them on my other plants. Thank you for your question and thank you for watching. Cheers.

Hello. If you have a variety of a dragon fruit plant you can use the pollens from the flower that bloomed on that same flower or you can use a mixture of pollens from other dragon fruit flowers that bloomed as well. Here is a video on how to pollinate: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b5thZpmZ1rPYkYU.html Here is another video on cross pollination of dragon fruit: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aJ-WZtCQ2bvTXZ8.html I usually pollinate about 9 p.m. on the day the flowers bloom if I have the time or early in the morning the next day. The dragon fruit flower will usually bloom at night and will start to wither and die the day after so you have to pollinate the flower once it is fully open/bloom. I hope this answers your question. Thank you for watching. Cheers.

No I don't. Although I think that is a good idea. Thank you for your question and thank you for watching. Cheers.

For gophers, I push down the hole with a stick rat poison.

@@manuellrodriguez4064 not worried about the plant absorbing rat poison into your fruit?

Hello. The main reason for the flower not developing into fruit is that pollination did not occur. I hope this answers your question. Thank you for watching. 👍😊👍 Cheers

Hello. In my area I do not need to protect the plants from cold weather. The temperature only goes down to 46 degrees farenheit. If the temperature drops to freezing then the plants need to be protected. I've read of some use tarps to cover it. I've seen some put plants in pots with rollers so that it can be move easily into a shelter. I hope this helps. Thank you for your question and thank you for watching. 👍😊👍 Cheers

Hello. I water once a week for the matured plants and every third day for the cuttings. Do you add fertilizer on your plants? Thank you for your question and thank you for watching. Cheers

From cutting plant after how many years we can consider as the matured plant? What kind of fertilizer do you use and how often you fertilizer them and how much? Thanks for your replied.

@@elainluong76 I consider a cutting as a matured plant after about 2 1/2 months of growing after planting it. I usually recommend watering cuttings every third day for about 2 1/2 months and by that time the plant has established it roots and should be able to grow new branches. I add 2 scoops of chicken or steer manure compost every month as a source of organic material for the plant. I alternate between the two every month so it will be chicken manure compost this month and then steer manure compost next month. I do this the whole year. I currently also add Osmocote 14-14-14 (2 tablespoon) and (vermicast 4 tablespoon) for each plant and will eventually do it every month because of the plants nutrient requirements for growing fruits during summer. I will taper the frequency of adding these two (osmocote and vermicast) by fall. I hope this answers your question. Thank you for watching. Cheers.

Awesome, thank you very much.

@@elainluong76 you are welcome 👍😊👍 Cheers

Hello. How old is your dragon fruit plant? Do you apply fertilizers? Thank you for you question and thank you for watching. 👍😊👍 Cheers

1caqui mahalo for watching. Cheers.

Hello. I suggest adding fertilizer to your plants. This is what I use which appears to work: The first two fertilizers that I use are both organic namely steer manure compost and chicken manure compost. I use them interchangeably once every month (1 to 2 scoops per plant). The third is slow release Osmocote 14-14-14 when I see flower buds starting to developed (this year was April, 1-2 table spoons per plant) and October. I usually increase the frequency of the application of the 14-14-14 during the fruiting time then decrease it back down come winter. This year I also added earthworm castings (same time, 1-2 tablespoons per plant). I also add Epson salt two weeks before summer starts (1 tablespoon per plant). I also suggest doing hand pollination which will help increase the chances of flowers developing into fruits. If you have other varieties of dragon fruit then I will also suggest doing cross pollination. Cross pollination will increase the chances of getting larger size fruits. I hope this helps. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching, cheers.

sackboymahalo thank you so much for replying 😊 God bless you

Hello. The flower probably needs hand pollination and if the dragon fruit variety is the sterile kind then it needs cross pollination.

Do you use fertilizers? I recommend the following: The first fertilizer is the Miracle Gro general purpose plant food which I use once in early spring and once after flowering/fruiting cycle (1 tablespoon per plant). The next two fertilizers that I use are both organic namely steer manure compost and chicken manure compost. I use them interchangeably once every month (1 to 2 scoops per plant). I also use slow release Osmocote 14-14-14 when I see flower buds starting to develope (this year was April, 1-2 table spoons per plant) and this year I also added earthworm castings (same time, 1-2 tablespoons per plant). I also add Epson salt two weeks before summer starts (1 tablespoon per plant). Hopefully this will help your plants/flowers. By the way I added tags in the viedos. Thank you for suggesting it. Thank you for your question and thank you for watching, cheers.

Ok. Thank you again for your suggestions and thank you for watching. Cheers.

What is Osmocote 14-14-14 ? Why you use Epson salt ? Is it the salt we eat in our home ? And Tell me about the first fertilizer Please

The link will give you information about Osmocote 14-14-14: www.plantersplace.com/osmocote-plant-food/the-osmocote-advantage/ The link will give you information about the use of Epson salt in gardening: www.epsomsaltcouncil.org/uses-benefits/gardening/ This will give you information regarding the first fertilizer: www.miraclegro.com/en-us/products/plant-food-care/miracle-gro-water-soluble-all-purpose-plant-food There are fertilizers that are slowly released to the plant like Osmocote 14-14-14 and organic fertilizers. Organic fertilizers needs to "break down" first before the plants can benefit from them. This means when you apply the organic fertilizer today there is no effect/benefit to the plants instantaneously, it will take time for it to break down so the benefits will take effect weeks or even months after. This is the reason why I apply steer manure compost or chicken manure compost every single month. I do tend to use more organic fertilizers than chemical fertilizers. There are fertilizers that the effects/benefits are instant. Chemical fertilizers are these type but there is a chance that you will 'burn" the plant. It is like the effect of drug overdose on people..... there is a chance of killing your plant. This is why I only apply the recommend amount or even less than the recommended amount. I hope this answers your question. Thank you for watching. Cheers.

Hello. How many varieties of dragon fruit do you grow. I suggest growing different varieties so that you can cross pollinate.

Hello. I do not know if it will make the sterile plant fertile or the fertile plant sterile. 🤔😄 I think the sterile part will stay sterile while the fertile part will stay fertile. Good idea. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching. 👍😊👍 Cheers

Depuis que j'ai commencé à obtenir des boutons floraux de mon fruit du dragon, j'ai décidé de faire mes recherches sur la façon d'augmenter les chances que les boutons floraux se développent en fruits. J'ai découvert qu'il existe deux principaux types de fruits du dragon en ce qui concerne le développement des fruits à partir de fleurs. Le premier est le type fertile, ce qui signifie qu'il n'a pas besoin de pollinisation manuelle ou croisée pour donner des fruits. Certains cultivateurs appellent également cela le type «autogame». L'autre type est le stérile ou non autogame. Ce type a besoin d'une pollinisation croisée à partir d'un type fertile pour donner des fruits. Si vous n'avez que ce type de fruit du dragon stérile dans votre jardin, vous ne pouvez pas faire de pollinisation manuelle pour que vos fleurs se développent en fruits. Donc, si vous avez une plante âgée de 2 à 3 ans qui produit des fleurs mais que les fleurs après la floraison tombent et ne finissent jamais par se développer en fruits, il y a de fortes chances que vous ayez le type stérile. Maintenant, ce que vous pouvez faire dans cette situation est de planter un type fertile connu afin de pouvoir faire une pollinisation croisée. Pour vous assurer d'obtenir des fruits de vos plantes, ne plantez que des fruits du dragon de type fertile connu dans votre jardin. Vous pouvez également augmenter la taille / le rendement des fruits en plantant deux types fertiles connus ensemble dans un poteau / treillis côte à côte (augmentez les chances de pollinisation croisée en faisant cela). Les producteurs de fruits du dragon le font dans leurs fermes pour obtenir un meilleur rendement en fruits. À votre santé.

Hello. If you do not add fertilizer then I suggest you do. I add 1 tablespoon of Osmocote 14-14-14 slow release per plant per month. I also add 2 trowel size scoops of either steer manure compost or chicken manure compost per plant per month. This seems to work for my dragon fruit plants. I hope this helps. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching. 👍😊👍 Cheers

😊 there will be more buds on the way I'm sure 👍😊👍 thank you for dropping by..... no pun intended. Cheers.

Rex Vong did you try to hand pollinate? I was not successful in getting fruits in a couple of varieties I have in their first year of flowering no matter how I hand/cross pollinate. This second year, both varieties have several fruits developing. If your dragon fruit is on its first year of flowering then maybe your plant has not reached it full maturity (potential). I hope this answers your question. Thank you for watching. Cheers.

I hand pollinated before and did not work. The flowers turn yellow and fall off. Those plants were 2 plus years old. I just wait and see. If I see the base of the flower is not get big after blooming then I know it won't make it.

Rex Vong do you cross pollinate (using pollens from a different variety)?

Tonight I pooled pollen from 10 flowers of different variety and hand pollinated all 10 flowers. Lets see in a few days, they turn into fruit or turn yellow and fall off.

Rex Vong best wishes on your success, hoping they all turn into fruit. Cheers.

If that is the only plant variety that you have and you got a fruit from it then most probably it is the fertile kind. I hope this answers your question. Thank you for watching. Cheers.
