      Verify your varieties are true, however I have not seen any variety Voodoo Child could not pollenate. Also, make sure the pollen and stigma are dry and try at 10PM.

    • @Spicyexotics
      @Spicyexotics Місяць тому

      18 to 20 in the summer and 26 in the winter. You can squeeze more, but we prefer comfort over additional storage. That's 20x40, not 50 feet.

    I’ve just started this great planting adventure😂I’ve always been a gardener so I say why not attempt growing The Dragons here in NY am a little worried because of my climate and this is why I am potting it to bring in and out of my house 😂in during the winter and out in the summer. I bought some cuttings that has been rooting for a while now will transplant over the weekend and I’ve also germinated some Sugar Dragons and whites from Ecuador. I have done an extensive amount of research. If succeeded with these I have then I will have a yard full once I relocate to a warmer area but for now NY is where I’ll give it a go.

    How much does the polytunnel raise the minimum daily temperature without a heater? How quickly does it lose the heat it absorbed during the day?

    • @Spicyexotics
      @Spicyexotics Місяць тому

      During the day, a clear day in the winter with the sun out, inside temperatures can reach 120 F, so venting and cooling is a must. Night time temps drop of quickly, about 3 hours after sunset. During this time its about 2 to 5 degrees different.

    @KBDRAGONFRUIT 8 місяців тому

    More energy will be transferred from the main branch (trunk) to the sub branches which will result in more fruit buds on the sub branches. When there are too many fruit buds on one branch then you should also remove some of the buds so that the remaining buds will have enough space and energy to grow big, sweet and juicy.

    • @Spicyexotics

      Yes, everything is replaced. We now use electric oil heaters. Two per Greenhouse and our greenhouse is now twice the size.

    • @Spicyexotics
      @Spicyexotics 9 місяців тому

      BTW, when we had this setup, we tried several types of bulbs. Energy cost and bulb price had alot to do with what we choose at the time. 60 lamps going at once was a huge energy draw. Typically half of the bulbs would fail during the season so you can figure on a bulb cost.

    hi sir, i have question, I want to start growing dragon fruit, the first step to start this work is to prepare the substrate, do you suggest planting the cuttings in the ground or in pots? What should the substrate be made of and what percentage should it be mixed with? Thankful

    • @Spicyexotics
      @Spicyexotics 9 місяців тому

      We start in pots and use cow manure for soil and PVC pipe to support. They have lots of other options. I recommend using what you have available to you. You can check out our website and youtube channel for additional information.

      I would say the gulf coast, as we are in Louisiana and works for us. It will have more challenges in colder locations, but making adjustments to the setup could overcome those challenges. Its a good cost affective solution to winterizing.

    • @Spicyexotics
      @Spicyexotics 11 місяців тому

      As a general rule, PG is purple flesh. Stay away from Purple flesh pollen and use Red or White flesh fruit pollen. Most Pink flesh fruit pollen will work too.
