Quick Guide - How to grow Dragon Fruit from a cutting
Step by step guide:
1. Use a 6-10 inch long stem cutting from a mature dragon fruit
plant. Let the cut end dry in the shade for 2-5 days so it forms a callus.
This also helps prevent rot and fungus.
3. Plant the cutting. Stick the callused end about 2-3 inches
deep into the soil. Make sure it's planted upright (the way it grew on the
parent plant).
4. Support it. Add a trellis or post. Dragon fruit is a climbing
cactus and needs something to grow on.
5. Water lightly. Water once after planting, then wait until the
soil dries before watering again. Overwatering can rot the cutting.
6. Give it light and warmth. Place in bright, indirect sunlight
while it roots. Once established, it can handle full sun. Watch it grow! Roots
usually form in 2-4 weeks. New growth means it's taking off! This is the
time to
Ferilize it!

✔️ Turn the plant upside down and gently remove it from the old pot. Loosen up roots if root bound. Set it on top of the soil and check the level again.
✔️ Add more fertilizer around the sides and fill in with soil, pressing around the edges.
✔️ Check the level one more time.
✔️ Water thoroughly - and you are done! Happy growing!
