How to Grow Dragonfruit Part 4: Blooming & Pollination

I got my dragon fruit plant to flower and it was the most beautiful thing ever. Afterwards, I did hand pollination as I believe it's a self-fertile, self-pollinating variety, so no need for cross pollination. Fingers crossed though, as my pitahaya is unlabeled and it could be a variety that requires a cross or is not self-fertile. I highly encourage you to watch the entire dragonfruit playlist in order if you have yet to see it, as I've been learning how to grow dragon fruit from cuttings for a year now and finally got flower buds, which is SHORT for dragonfruit

Kevin I love your videos! You are so easy going, but so knowledgeable, I trust and follow all your instructions, except for adjusting to my central Florida location. After you pollinated your flower, you had me rofl! But I understand, my plants are my green children (had 4 human ones too. keep the great videos going.

Bahahaha Here's hoping your child grew to fruition! ;) So if it's a cross pollenating plant, you sort of lose out on the first flower, unless you have pollen saved up? Hmmm! I'm hoping that once mine start growing, I'll have enough pollenators buzzing around, but if not, now I know what it looks like!

I have seen so many of your videos and this by far was the one that made me laugh the most! Thanks for inspiring me for being a better gardener/plant lover (: definitely buying your book! It helps I live in San Diego also so I'm encouraged to plant whatever you can plant too!

please make more flower pollination videos. Especially for non-edible plants like hydrangeas, bromeliads, pansies, spider orchids, anthuriums because they're hard to come by. It would help me out a lot (Freshman Bio major at Elon University and I'm ambitious to learn early)

Love your dragonfruit videos dude. I learned how to propagate them from you and created about 10 new plants now I need to make some of them flower. I actually got a little hard at the end of the video.
reply

Hand propagation is best by light wide paint brushes, or small feather dusters, I've always heard and seen. Hopefully this is efficiency helping possibly, and not taken badly. I'm liking the show.

Hello, brother kevin. 15 months ago I planted a dragon fruit plant after seeing your dragon fruit series. And today one of my flowers is going to bloom. You're an absolute inspiration for me.

Thanks for these awesome videos! Love your tips on how to do a proper cutting in the last video. Love the enthusiasm. I have night blooming cereus & now want to plant a dragon fruit too!

You killed me with this video, Kevin. You really did get me all excited and I don't even care about the Royal babies.
A late congratulations on the birth of your child.

I jave dragon fruit plants it isv1 n half years old my fruit plant is not fruting please help me whatvto do theybr growing wild no fruits onmy planta
reply

Did you graft this DF? It had fruit in a year? Richard said it can take up to 5-6 years for fruiting. Grafting speeds up the fruiting process.
reply

Even if you are not a Dragonfruit fan, everyone should watch this series. A good lesson in growing with excitement and fun. Nice job Kevin.
reply

I am an actual father! :D
It's so exciting when you get your first dragon fruit flower!
And pollinating a DF is better than s#x!
