VIDEO: How to Grow Dragonfruit Part 3: Inducing Flowering


It’s been almost a year since I planted my dragonfruit cuttings, and they’ve grow to epic proportions…but I have no dragonfruit flowers at all. In an effort to induce flowering, today’s video covers a few tips and techniques to see if we can get a couple of flowers and actual fruit before the season starts to wind down!

Also known as pitahaya or pitaya, this is an incredible cactus that grows vigorously and produces an absolutely delicious, nutritious, and refreshing fruit.

  1. I have 16 varieties of df in my garden including 2 yellow varieties. I cut the tip of each branch to induce fruiting or branching. I have a small gardening channel, pls visit my channel too. Thnks.

  2. I have had two dragon fruit plants in small pots for many years. They have not been looked after yet still gave us one or two fruit per year.
    I have followed your advice and the next day massive change. Multiple buds that are now flowers.
    Who would have thought pruning and fertiliser would help so much.
    I now have multiple plants growing throughout my garden. They are in large pots with quality soil and fertiliser. Already the cuttings are showing growth.
    Thank you for your videos.

    Regards from Brisbane, Australia.

  3. Thank you so much for this series! I bought three little dragon fruits from Baker Creek seeds a couple of years ago and have had them planted in red solo cups since. <facepalm>. The largest one is several feet long, but only the size of my thumb thick. I'll be potting them up properly asap, I promise, now that I know what to do. New sub, five vids into a massive binge fest. Much love from Oklahoma!

  4. Was wondering if u could help me. I got a dragon fruit a couple of yrs ago and its skinny n tons of it coming outta the ground. And it's never had flowers or fruits. But I see u n everyone else have one coming outta the ground n growing upwards. Should I cut most of it off and leave one or wat do I do??

  5. when the get tip gets to that far curving down, it's about to flower soon.
    when you cut bottom part off, you might want to cut the wedges of the wings, to increase surface areas there.

  6. Help!!!!!! I am in central Florida and we are having sooooooooo much rain and I have new dragon fruit cuttings that I am trying to protect and have grow. One is not doing well and the other split, what do I do????
