Yeah brother .
This may be a stupid question, but is there anyway to naturally treat the wood to make it darker and nicer looking?
Another question, would it be okay to grow two different varieties in the same pot so they can cross pollinate each other?
Hi Eric, what is the lowest temperature you have in your area? I was wondering if I could let my dragon fruit stay outside our home. I live in Serbia and the lowest temperature I experienced here is -5°C.
I have an idea to use PVC pipe for my trellis which should allow me to sub irrigate somewhat and water from the bottom with a small reservoir and use less pot space and weight

Where did you buy those pots? Thanks
What do you recommend for trellis for a colder climate where plant is moved to indoors for winter?
Useless fruit with no flavor
Where to buy those 25 gallon cylinder shape clay pot ? I Remmeber you mention it is like $50 dollars. I check local home depot. They don’t carry those, Any suggestion ? I am located in SoCal
How long is the shorter trellis you made?
Where did you get your pots at?
Where did you purchase the 25 gallon tarracotta pots for about $40?
Varieties
Can 100% compost be used?
I hope to cut a 44 gal drum in half on top of bush wood on my property!with a tire over sharp edge approximately 5 ft off ground …. I still expimenting but have 2 acres but hope to grow straight from top ! I’ll use my 12 ton truck with 4000 litres of water to drive through and water twice a week ! 35 c degree here now ?…
I'm in San Diego as well, can I ask where you bought the terracotta pots? Great Video! Thank you <3
I'm not a fan of dragonfruit, but I love the trellis and container. What other applications do you see for this gorgeous pot and trellis?
Hi, subscriber here. I have a 2yo-ish plant that's been flowering. However, the flowers turn an orange-ish color and then drop off before they mature. I have consistent watering, straw hay and compost in the mix. Any ideas or is it more due to the overall age of the plant?
Built two today!! Great tutorial!!
what happened to your list of supplies? I can't find it.
After taking cuttings how will they last before I HAVE to plant them?
Any reason I shouldn’t put two varieties in one pot? I got two different single cuttings of who knows what kind…
after 5-10 years; they stop fruiting?
Nice work.. Gonna do this!
Aren't you covering the drainage hole with the wooden post?
Don't waste your time. I recently tried dragon fruit for the first time, and I gotta say, it's nothing to rave about. It was bland, had the consistency of watermelon, but without all the juice and sweetness. I would rather have any other kind of watermelon or melons in general. Dragon fruit? You can have mine. blah
