    Do you ship seeds to canada?

    So fingering my plant = pollinating? Be specific man.

    My lazy way of getting the segments to root is to just stick it in a bucket of about 1-2 inches of water and wait a month or more – make sure to refill the water once in a while (not let it completely evaporate – which I have done) and it will easily root. Don’t put it in direct sun during this time. Heck, you could put it in a dark closet and it will still root. Thanks for the growing tips.

    Says that they’re sensitive as he shakes them around

    So you take the soil and sand and just mix it all together or do put sand in the bottom and soil then on top? What’s the actual mixture? I’d definitely like to grow these.

    Excited to try out these seeds! Never done anything like this before, but I"m so excited to try it out! 😀

    Easiest? My Dragon fruit grew six inches in three years…sigh…

    If Ben Wyatt hadn’t built Ice Town and instead got into gardening



  9. Ow SB on November 4, 2021 at 11:37 am

    Thank you for sharing. Will try to plant again. I will draw this Dragonfruit also.

    I’ve been looking for a video by you on growing garlic and ginger in a container. If you haven’t done one then I’m sure many of us would appreciate your taking the time to put one together. Thanks

    Dragonfruit cacti in the wild get to be 30 ft tall



  12. maryam ghasemzadeh on November 4, 2021 at 11:40 am

    Thanks a lot for the great information. honestly I am planning to plant some indoor with lamp inside the apartment. I do have some small dragon fruit stems which I planted them a year ago and now I think they need to be re potted. a question I have is about flowering which you mentioned in your video. How do I know that the dragon fruit seed I planted are male or female ? Actually fruit process is very unclear for me. I appreciate your help in this regard

    Please do a complete growing guide to fennel. There are very very few guides to fennel growing.



  14. Rancho Alacranes on November 4, 2021 at 11:42 am

    I’m lucky I live where there is a lot of bats



  15. John Boettcher on November 4, 2021 at 11:43 am

    What lights would you use if you wanted to grow this indoors. I am in the mitten, but LOVE the fruit and want to grow a couple in my basement. Do you have any suggestions for me?



  16. kassey phillips on November 4, 2021 at 11:44 am

    Awesome video, I bought one and was blown away how fragile they are ! Thanks for the knowledge !



  17. Mrs B on November 4, 2021 at 11:44 am

    Finally!! Someone who tells us exactly how to grow and care for our dragon fruit! Thank you! 🤗



  18. Kristina Writes on November 4, 2021 at 11:45 am

    Hey Luke, love your videos & growing guides. I was wondering if you could do a growing guide for winter squash & pumpkins.



  19. Amy N on November 4, 2021 at 11:46 am

    My father in law tore the cement out of his garage floor, and added windows. He now has dragonfruit and pineapple bushes and even a banana tree growing in his garage floor! Pretty crazy but very very fun.



  20. Wayne Price on November 4, 2021 at 11:46 am

    Bought 8 blueberry plants 20 strawberry rhizomes and several other fruit trees Bc of your channel my hobbies consisted of working out and hunting and fishing now I am in the garden weekly



  21. Deanna Scheid on November 4, 2021 at 11:51 am

    I’ve never had a dragon fruit plant. How do you start growing them? I’ve seen some piece of the cactus on sale on amazon would you start with that?



  22. Luz M on November 4, 2021 at 11:53 am

    How can I repot without breaking it?



  23. Sonically Samuele on November 4, 2021 at 11:53 am

    Awesome video! I am now intrigued by this plant, and I want to trial a growth process with it.



  24. Paulette Daniels on November 4, 2021 at 11:53 am

    I bought a small dragon fruit plant last weekend because it was so cute. Now I’ve been learning about it — these puppies get BIG! I’m excited to watch it grow!



  25. bcupcake on November 4, 2021 at 11:53 am

    My Pitahaya (mex name) flowered last night and we polinated it with a paint brush. Hope it worked!



  26. Jill Kerr-Scott on November 4, 2021 at 11:54 am

    Thank you for this video. I am in New Zealand and growing a dragonfruit for the first time.



  27. Stella Luuk on November 4, 2021 at 11:56 am

    Hi, I have been growing a dragon fruit cactus for about 6yrs from seed and no luck with flowering. I think my pot is too small, what size pot would you recommend? The plant is about 2 to 3ft. It is going crazy producing multiple leaders from the base, very hard to keep it to one central leader!



  28. Conscientious Omnivore on November 4, 2021 at 11:59 am

    Very helpful video, thank you! I’m going to try and grow some too.



  29. Passion Fruiter on November 4, 2021 at 12:01 pm

    You should make an updated dragonfruit video for the progress



  30. Leesa Miller on November 4, 2021 at 12:01 pm

    I’d like to see a follow up video of how the dragon fruit plants are doing now. Thank you!



  31. SRD UNIVERSE on November 4, 2021 at 12:02 pm

    What if we put baby dragon fruit in rain



  32. RvBadlands2015 on November 4, 2021 at 12:04 pm

    My dragon fruit lived outside in calif flowered all the time. I had about 10 to 12 flowers on my plant but never had fruit. The flower would stay about a week.



  33. clive ifsofactso on November 4, 2021 at 12:04 pm

    Oh please just get to the point



  34. Jacob Kieft on November 4, 2021 at 12:05 pm

    Luke,what’s the secret to growing dragon fruit from seeds?



  35. Crescent Garden on November 4, 2021 at 12:05 pm

    Any updates on this?



  36. NefFy on November 4, 2021 at 12:06 pm

    I just thought of a good idea for trellises I thought of it for this but it could be use really for anything I guess… You could get a tree branch and stick it in the middle of the pot so that the dragon fruit vine growS up thatInstead of wooden stakes or any kind of trellis you might have to buy or build!



  37. Simple Living on November 4, 2021 at 12:06 pm

    Can I cut a long stem in half or 3 pieces and grow them in pots, or I always need a complete step to grow?



  38. mevsm1 on November 4, 2021 at 12:09 pm

    During what season o they bloom? Thank you! Here in The Sunshine State, mine is a few years old, growing up trees & a stockade fence.



  39. Backyard Gardening & Cooking on November 4, 2021 at 12:10 pm

    I just bought a dragon fruit.



  40. P N on November 4, 2021 at 12:11 pm

    once a month? that’s too long. It won’t die, but that won’t be productive.



  41. Mary Schroer on November 4, 2021 at 12:12 pm

    I have one of these plants that I got from U of M botanical gardens. Thought I was buying an Orchid Cactus. It is about 4 years old and now hanging in an iron hanger from a tree outside. I may have to find a new home for it. Don’t know how to send a picture on here.
    Today I bought a new cactus also called dragon fruit, but looks nothing like the one I have and in your video.
    So I don’t know what I bought today.



  42. killerjdog51 on November 4, 2021 at 12:12 pm

    Where do you buy a dragon fruit plant?



  43. SALUTO on November 4, 2021 at 12:13 pm

    You go on and on .. Your videos could b a lot shorter. Thanks for the info



  44. Dan Krohn on November 4, 2021 at 12:15 pm

    How do you know when it’s gonna flower? I mean checking it every night would be tough



  45. pure Love Elias on November 4, 2021 at 12:16 pm

    hey MIgardener can you grow veg in the big bags that people buy to put their groceries in, instead of using plastic bags for the groceries?



  46. P N on November 4, 2021 at 12:18 pm

    actually the soil is much easier than that, even with no sand, just well drainage.



  47. P. M. on November 4, 2021 at 12:20 pm

    I followed this video to grow 10 dragon fruit. They all died or didn’t grow at all. Then I found people who had grown dragonfruit before, followed their guides, and now I’m eating my own dragon fruit right now. I love this channel but the soil, nutrition and watering instructions aren’t good



  48. Chilly1313 13 on November 4, 2021 at 12:21 pm

    I think dragon fruit cacti are more of a rain forrest type of cactus. They like water



  49. Albin Lagerkvist on November 4, 2021 at 12:26 pm

    Can I grow this indoors in Sweden? My thoughts are that it would work but only with growing lights.



  50. marquan reese on November 4, 2021 at 12:27 pm

    Cinnamon and honey is also gr8 for rooting
