VIDEO: 5 Tips How to grow a ton of dragon fruit


This video is all about how to grow a lot of dragon fruit (pitaya) in just one container. This method is what I call the hang or grow down method where the plant is placed upon a stand or in my case a stump and left to drape down instead of being trained up a trellis or post.

  3. Any idea why my tree would be dropping all the flowers? It is the 3rd year. First year I found it in my driveway after a hurricane here in Florida. Last year transplanted it to a “tree” container and got like 5 flowers and they all dropped. This year I’ve had 100’s of flowers and they all keep dropping. I’ve been trying to pollinate them at night when they bloom but it seems they all end up closing back up and sort of melting away then the whole “bulb or fruit” just falls off. Do I need to pollinate from one flower to another?
