I've been growing Dragonfruit for a while now and can give a few pointers. 1. Dragonfruit are technically a cactus, but they are an epiphytic cactus from tropical areas with a pronounced dry and wet season. They are not from areas with constant low humidity. 2. In nature the seeds get dispersed by birds and germinate up in the branches of a tree. They grow very slowly at first using much of their energy to send roots down towards the ground. The green parts of the plant do not like to sit in moist soil. It will often cause rot. That's why I never plant them in the dirt directly anymore. Instead they prefer to send roots down to the soil. I've found the best way to start a cutting is to tie it directly to a support an inch or two above the soil and let them send the roots down. This results in far less problems with rot. 3. In my experience, they are not self pollinating. I had a single plant for years that was huge and bloomed a ton and almost never had any fruit come of it. Once my seedlings started blooming I had tons of fruit. You need two genetically distinct plants for good pollination. 4. To bloom/fruit well the plant needs to be fairly large. So if you're going to grow these in a pot and want a lot of fruit, keep in mind that you'll need to have space and a solid support structure that can accommodate a lot of long branches. A large plant can easily weigh more than a grown man.

Some variety of dragon fruit cactus are self pollinating. I've never had problems with rot planting the cuttings directly into the soil. Letting the cuttings dry for a week or more helps prevent rotting and helps roots grow faster.

This is THE BEST dragonfruit propagation video I have seen. Well edited and presented too.

Great plant ! I live in France, in 2007 a friend of mine bring a dragon fruit from his Vietnam trip, i keep the seeds and planted it in a pot in a glasshouse, the plant got bigger and bigger and acclimate well at 5°C in winter inside the glasshouse, it rooted through the pot into the glasshouse soil, few years later it start producing many fruits, since i was forced to remove it from the glasshouse, so i cut the roots and keep the pot inside my dining room, it is now a 13 year hold plant who grow near the window and continue to grow slowly with thin branches because the lak of sunlight. It's amazing how long this plant can survive without water.

That's a big time commit crop. As I watched your dedication and application of processes determined by the growth stage of each plant, it occurred to me that the first cultivators (South American, I think.) must have been just as committed and tied to their crops. We know now about their Terra Preta (Black Soil) and that the indigenous farmers didn't just wait for nature to produce their food, but used technology to create the conditions that actually enable food forests to exist. Then thinking of the commitment of ancient farmers, I can't imagine that they would have been at all interested in abandoning their crops to go off and fight as soldiers in expansionist wars. Maybe gardening cultivates peace every bit as much as prosperity and good health for all humanity and should be encouraged for everyone, especially urban dwellers. Anyway, thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience in growing Dragon Fruit. I can see it was a labor of love to nurture your plants through their entire life cycle. THAT is impressive. You earned lots of good karma merits just for that alone! By now, you must have earned enough merit to get to Brahmaloka!

@@bellosardo84 Wikipedia, Pineapple Precolonial cultivation The wild plant originates from the Paraná-Paraguay River drainages between southern Brazil and Paraguay.[2][18][19] Little is known about its domestication, but it spread as a crop throughout South America. Archaeological evidence of cultivation/use is found as far back as 1200 - 800 BC (3200-2800 BP) in Peru[20] and 200BC - AD700 (2200-1300 BP) in Mexico,[21] where it was cultivated by the Mayas and the Aztecs.[22] By the late 1400s, cropped pineapple was widely distributed and a stable component of the diet of Native Americans. The first European to encounter the pineapple was Columbus, in Guadeloupe on 4 November 1493.[23][24] The Portuguese took the fruit from Brazil and introduced it into India by 1550.[25] The 'Red Spanish [es]' cultivar was also introduced by the Spanish from Latin America to the Philippines, and it was grown for textile use from at least the 17th century.[26] Columbus brought the plant back to Spain and called it piña de Indes, meaning "pine of the Indians". The pineapple was documented in Peter Martyr's Decades of the New World (1516) and Antonio Pigafetta's Relazione del primo viaggio intorno al mondo (1524-1525), and the first known illustration was in Oviedo's Historia General de Las Indias (1535).[27]

Yours is the one I will use as reference. Not a single piece of information was superfluous. Please, never give us less. In fact, more information can only increase trust and loyalty to your channel (I think... or maybe it's just me). So, thank you for a great video. By the way, it's fruit bats that pollinate dragon fruits. I can only assume that moths and other nocturnal insects also contribute.
