My dragonfruit journey began during the pandemic. We bought a colombiana fruit from a local farmer and was absolutely blown away by how sweet it was. I saved some seeds and germinated some in some water. Ended up with about 100 seedlings😂🤦🏽‍♂️ I grew stuff but not to the level that I am now. From veggies, to dragonfruit, to fruit trees, to kratky hydroponics, etc. Any old food safe container has a plant in it😂 My wife thinks I’m nuts. But she doesn’t complain when she take a scoop of a juicy sweet dragonfruit right from the yard. Or veggies. The taste difference is just ridiculous. Not even close. Nowadays, I am just addicted to gardening. My friends and family miss me😂

AWESOME! As you know, almost every video labelled "complete growing guide" on youtube just shows you how to plant something (usually seeds). Planting stuff is the easy part. I want to know how to take care of it afterwards! Your videos are so good at showing that. You know.... the important part! Thanks!

I’ve been following Richard’s channel for years. He has a wealth of dragon fruit knowledge. Also his FB has a ton of other expert growers who are happy to help newbies.

I'm really glad you threw everything into one video! I've got an unknown variety of dragonfruit that a neighbor had set out on the curb with a "Free" sign on it. I nursed it back to health and now it's gone crazy with side shoots (although it's starting to grow out thru the top of the trellis). Guess I know what I'll be pruning tomorrow! Thanks
