PROPAGATION TIPS

Allow a freshly cut end to callus in a dry, shaded, well-ventilated place before planting, if it has not already callused. Place the cutting in a well-draining propagation medium and avoid keeping the medium constantly wet. Provide warmth, bright light, and support as new growth develops.

Dragon fruit is a climbing cactus, so plan for vertical support and adequate space. Protect the cutting from frost and prolonged cold. If growing indoors, provide strong light and good airflow.

IMPORTANT NOTES

• You will receive one cutting, not a fully rooted plant or a mature fruiting cactus.

• Rooting time and growth depend on temperature, moisture, light, and the condition of the cutting.

• Fruit production, flowering time, fruit color, sweetness, and yield are not guaranteed.

• Verify that the cutting is the advertised Sugar Dragon cultivar before relying on cultivar-specific fruit claims.

• The plant may have small spines or thorn-like structures; handle carefully.

• Please check local live-plant import and shipping restrictions before ordering.

A note about organic claims: The source attributes describe the plant as organic, but this should only be stated in the listing if the seller can substantiate the claim under applicable marketplace and certification requirements.
