  1. I got a dragonfruit plant about a year ago. I never put a trellis or a pole for it to climb up on. Its taking over the ground, looks pretty funky. Ik i gotta cut it up but its gonna hurt lol

  2. Peroxide basically a one-to-one level with bacteria as well as baking soda and maybe glycerin as well as a few other things it would be essentially like you standing next to baking soda that was as tall as you you had some water and there was going to be enough reaction to affect you same thing for the elephant the giraffe and the microbial life

  3. I just discovered that the two little cactus that are growing…are Dragon Fruit! Perfect timing to prevent me from killing them!! My problem will be I'm in Southern Ohio so it looks like I'll have to have a mobile pot I can move them inside during winter.

  4. Very nice video about how to deal with dragon fruit plants but I am not agree about mistake no 2, Generally speaking dragon fruit is a tropical plants that mean they can survive even though in heavy rain. Yes that true dragon fruit is cactus family but this types of cactus grow well in heavy rain countries. Seem that your soil is more drainage and porous so no problem if you water more. Unlike in tropical climate countries. Especially in the Western countries, summer season are very very hot (I think?). So watering more for your dragon fruit is recommended.

    By the way I love watching your video.

  5. Your videos have helped a lot on me growing mine through the summer. Now it's winter and learned my Purple Haze and Dark Star is semi frost hardy and so far can withstand 39° 37°

  6. it looks like you put only 4 in per pot. i been growing mine for 5 years and it ain't going anywhere. and i have like …. over 40 of them in that 1 pot 11 inches. that i been trying to grow from seeds and the leaves are grey out or have spots on them. what should i do?
