Dragon fruit cacti is a vining type of cacti, so you are definitely correct in supporting them! They also like having moist soil, so nice job figuring that out from just experimenting! They do take 5-7 years to produce fruit though, and the fruit comes from the end of the cacti.

Dragon fruit are very interesting with how they’re shaped.
Growing cacti from seed is definitely a fun project!

I started two pots from cuttings earlier this year, they grow fast. It’s a tropical cactus so I water mine a lot. No problems yet. Easy to grow.

How are your dragon fruit plants doing? Would love to see an update.

I just started to try and grow them. So right now they are germinating. I'm excited to try and grow them. I got 1 catus & 1 succulent that I've frown from seed so this is my next project. Thank-You for all the information on growing them.

They’re so cute! I wanna try this tomorrow since I just bought a dragon fruit, it’d be fun to gift these to people in the plant community who live near me 💚 thanks for the video!

It was amazing to see the sprouts sprout like baby cactus by germinating dragon fruits. In particular, seeing that the seeds that were ground with blend are germinated, I think the vitality of plants is really great. 🌿

I definitely tried the sieve method, it worked. It's been a month and they are already showing cacti... excited for the next step and watch those babies grow. Thanks .

I have several large yellow dragon fruit cacti growing on trellis. I've gotten them to bloom, but have never gotten fruit. Today I bought a red fruit from the grocery store, and that's what brought me to your video. Hopefully I can get the red fruit going so that maybe two years from now I can use the pollen from both plants to pollinate the blooms. Thanks for making this video! I'm going to go the more gentle screen route to clean the seeds.

just bought a dragon fruit and i’m going to do the strainer method today. i also bought a dragon fruit cutting off etsy that arrives today. i’m so excited! thank you for these videos.

I work in the produce market. We should be getting dragon fruit in soon. Thank you for your experiments!

[rosalinerabago]

I eat the yellow dragon fruit almost everyday because it does help digestion. Today my I realized how many seeds it produces so I decided to try to sprout them by straining the seeds then air dry them. Found your video and it determine me to grow them. I’m sure they’d sprout. I’m sure it’ll take years for them to fruit. Thank you for sharing your experiments.

That was awesome! And you’re one of the only people I don’t put on 1.25 speed

The roots coming off the cactus are for the ones that touch the ground. It will take root and have another food and water point. There is a process of growing called "Mangroving". where you cut off a node and bury the node and stake it down to root.

Thank you very much.. I live in South Africa Roodepoort. I bought a fruit yesterday and we ate it this morning. I extracted some seeds and will start working with them tomorrow. Fantastic seeing you growing them. Great video.

[LiLyg]

Oh my god, they are so cute those baby cactus

[interestingasfck]

The video is once again great! I like that you always compare several methods for something like this. Maybe I also try me times at the dragon fruit for a time lapse :)

[joannelasage]

Wow! How Fun! I love how they look in the clumps. It would look really cool If they were in a big round shallow bowl.

This means that the pulp actually prohibits germination. So it is essential to rinse the seeds before planting but also to be careful not to damage the seeds. Thank you for this test. This will help me when I plant my own dragon fruit seeds.
