Remarkable edible fruit. Easy to grow from seeds. Recommended to people in the drylands.

  • @MetroPigeon : You can replant them now in a sandy potting mix. Take them out of the 5x5 pot and plant them separately in a small flower pot or cup (with drainage holes !). Let the 'baby leaves' (the 2 cotyledons) rest on the surface of the soil, which gives more stability to the seedling.

  • @deputy 1040 : I suppose your seedlings entered a sort of "dormant period", which is quite normal (most plants show dormancy). Just keep your seedlings rather dry (it's a cactus !) and let them "sleep" for a couple of months. You will see their "revival". From there off you can water them bit by bit and finally transplant them.

  • @ladyhawkwright : I am glad that you can take care of the seedlings now. See the nice images of seedling growth in my video.

  • I kept the seeds in sandy potting soil in a plastic tray on my windowsill during Belgian winter. they germinated without difficulty and the seedlings were growing quickly in the Spring.

  • What's the song in this video?

  • Hi there! Lovely seedlings you got there! =) I planted mine for about 4 months ago and the spikey top is about 5cm. But I just got two questions I need help with, when do I replant it? It hasnt got much roots but its in a 5x5cm little pot. And another one, because the top is so long its a bit heavy. Should I plant over the babyleaves or let it be? I thought, if it might gain more stability for the seedling?

  • I planted mine about three months ago, they are only about one inch tall and they are not growing any more, they look healthy but not growing. is this normal? I live in south florida and the weather is in the 70s. around this time. can some one please tell me if my plants are ok and how long does it take for them to get about 1 foot high. thanks

  • great video, thanks for showing all of the steps

  • Thanks for this video. I want to grow Dragon fruit and share it on my Channel. Thanks for giving me ideas on how to start growing them!
