The time has come to begin moving the Epic dragon fruit, and the first step is pruning it down to size. Dragon fruit pruning is pretty simple: remove stems that are too long or unlikely to be productive. In my case, those were the ones growing all over my house.
As for dragon fruit propagation, take 8-12″ cuttings, let dry for 5-7 days to callous over, and then plant them into pots, stake them up, and wait until you see new stem growth. That’s really all there is to it!

The real question…what to do with all of these cuttings LOL
Will the wall growing dragon fruit can bear fruits like hanging one?
does this lant have male female problem???
I thought the thumbnail said “Plum, pomegranate, and dragonfruit”. I need to go to sleep
Hi Kevin, I recently discovered your channel and I love your videos. I've already watched a number of them, and have also subscribed to your channel. 🙂 Quick question: when rooting cuttings of dragon fruit, would it be helpful to use some rooting hormone? I noticed that you did not use any in this video, which tells me that it's not necessary to use rooting hormone. However, if I happen to have some around, would it increase my chances of the cuttings becoming viable plants if I used the hormone? Or would you recommend against it? Thanks!
The first one you planted in this video you left the connecting stem attached. And in another video you cut it off, saying it was better to do it that way. Confusing.
I have a few cuttings done has roots a
Hey, Kevin, just browsing you tube and got to your channel, I’m from South Texas and got interested now with dragon fruits. I believe it can survive with our hot weather here, what do you think? I gonna watch all your videos and learn how to propagate them. Thanks for the videos.
Love your videos!!
What is the plant in the pocket vase behind you??
Is there a follow up video on these cuttings?
If you have any of those aerial roots near the bottom of your cutting, leave them on and put them in the soil when you pot the cutting. They will turn into underground roots and give your cutting a big head start on growing roots.
that's awsome…what i use to tie up trees are long strips of tyre inner tubing. works wonders and you find them everywhere…keep it up
Does anyone know the best facing sun direction to place dragon fruit? I’m trying to learn about them. I live in zone 9.
I love this video that you have it's excellent
How do those fabric planters in the background hold up in the sun? Have you had any long term?
Why not leave the bamboo long?
How many times a week do you water ?
Dragon druit
I see that the one you potted still had the cut-off stem still attached ? will it still work.?
Why are my fruits turning yellow after 3 or 4 days of the flower blooming
My poor neglected dragon fruit is starting to grow and I have to keep watch before they get out o control… Thank for tips Kevin.
When planting dragon fruit from cuttings and the cutting starts to grow those new stems/shoots/ sprouts which you have to prune can you plant those as well? And how fast do they grow? Do they grow slow like seeds or fast like the cuttings?
Why you have to cut into pieces of a long stem , Leave it the way it is. It will produce fruits faster since they already 18 mons old . Don't you think ?
When the cuttings start to callous over, is it right for them to soften a bit?
Love your channel! I've definitely learned a lot about dragon fruit and how to grow them. Thanks!
I bought one, what type of soil it needs in north india
