I have 18 dragon fruit in my indoor grow because of you! Mine are not looking quite like yours and since it's also where I start spring seeds it's tight quarters in there at the moment but once it's all done I'm going to build a rack to help trellis them. I'm letting them grow at the edge of a grow area so they'll only get light from one side but it is strong. due to the light I can't do the method your doing so I'm picturing like a really long ladder and planting them in a row and sending them up and to flop forward.

Great guide. Thought I would comment on tipping plants. Apical dominance is the term. The growing shoot inhibits the growth of laterals. The further from the tip, the more likely laterals are to sprout. Think of a pine tree. It has very high apical dominance. As the growing tip moves upwards, it allows the lateral branches to extend producing a very uniform pyramid shape. Removal of the tip will remove the apical dominance allowing laterals to sprout. :)

I'm really glad you threw everything into one video!
I've got an unknown variety of dragonfruit that a neighbor had set out on the curb with a Free sign on it. I nursed it back to health and now it's gone crazy with side shoots (although it's starting to grow out thru the top of the trellis. Guess I know what I'll be pruning tomorrow!
Thanks

You guys did me in! Here in NC and I decided 'why not try dragonfruit' So I took one from the grocery store, washed off the pulp the best I could and put it in a couple of small, flat trays. I now have several hundred 'babies'. The sad part, I'm excited about it! Some of them are starting to push out a stem between the 2 baby leaves.

Oh awesome! Quick question, in my greenhouse I have a container garden. When I water the soil turns green a little and the soil is not loose like The potting soil I used when I first started. Am I over watering
And there's tons of gnats, any advice

I do LOVE DF. I watch ever video I can on it. I'm in my third year growing and no fruit yet. many of my branches are about half way back down to the planter. I keep the branches sparse. and I just cant get any fruits. maybe it's too thin.

One thing that has worked for me when rooting dragonfruit cutting is I’ll take a cutting and then just put it off to the side where it can be cool, dry and away from the sun. Eventually it’ll sprout some root initials and I’ll plant it

I've started a couple of dragonfruit plants last oct. The main one already has two offshoots and feeding it mainly some water mixed with hydroponic nutrients (seems to work quite well. Always inspiring seeing these videos

One of your first videos I watched was about dragon fruit back at your previous house. You sold me on loquats as a hedge, keep talking and I will end up with dragon fruit on our Destin Florida garden zone 9b!

I have 2 dragonfruit plants--Joyner Red and American Beauty. The American Beauty has made one flower. The Joyner has done nothing. They grow well and produce a lot of arms. Just no flowers. :'-(

Where did you find that adorable Birdie's tree pot I'd love to have something like that for my citrus trees and berries that I want to build up out of the ground away from gophers to start.

Great video, thank you.
Please can you provide more information on fertilizer quantity and type for Dragon Fruit cuttings that have rooted and have reached 2 feet in height

The timing on this video is perfect. I just got 2 dragon fruit cuttings, and was binge watching your dragon fruit playlist before they arrived.

I was JUST dreading having to repot my severely neglected dragonfruit now that I've moved to a new place with a lot more sunlight.
