Edgar's Baby Dragon Fruit Plant Cutting – Rare Hybrid Variety
Looking for a unique and rare addition to your garden? The Edgars Baby Dragon Fruit is a stunning hybrid variety that combines traits from Hylocereus stenopterus, Hylocereus guatemalensis, and Hylocereus undatus. This exceptional dragon fruit plant produces vibrant white flowers and green-skinned, purple-fleshed fruit that is as delicious as it is beautiful. Perfect for collectors and dragon fruit enthusiasts alike!

🌱 Plant Growth
Edgar's Baby grows similarly to Hylocereus undatus in size, shape, color, and thorns. Its three-sided stems feature small spines and bright green coloration. This variety is surprisingly sun-tolerant, making it ideal for warm climates.

🌸 Unique Flowers
The medium-sized blooms of Edgar's Baby are truly eye-catching, with inner petals in white and outer petals in shades of white, yellow, and green. The flower buds resemble those of the Asunta series but are solid green. In Louisiana, the flowers open at dusk and close by sunrise, earlier than many other dragon fruit varieties. While self-sterile, this variety sets fruit well when pollinated with Hylocereus undatus pollen.

🍈 Delicious Fruit
Edgar's Baby produces fruits weighing between ¾ to 1 pound. The mature skin is green, making it tricky to determine ripeness, but leaving the fruit longer reveals red color bleeding through the skin. Once picked, the flesh is juicy with a delightful sweetness reminiscent of pink dragon fruit varieties. With an average Brix rating of 19, this fruit is sure to impress!

🌟 Why Choose Edgar's Baby?
This rare hybrid variety stands out for its unique flower colors and delicious fruit. Perfect for collectors or anyone looking to expand their dragon fruit collection, Edgar's Baby is a must-have for your garden.

Policies:

By purchasing cuttings, grafted, or rooted plants from our shop, buyers agree to the following terms:

  • Once the plant leaves our care, we cannot control the conditions or handling during shipment. Any lost or damaged packages are the buyer's responsibility to file a claim with USPS. Packages are insured up to $100; additional insurance is available upon request.
  • These grafts are well-established and securely connected to the rootstock. However, if they break due to rough handling during transit, it is the buyer’s responsibility to file a claim with USPS. Mayumi Garden does not offer refunds or exchanges under these circumstances.
  • All sales are final. The plant is non-returnable and non-refundable.

Planting Instructions:

Upon receiving your package, it is crucial to gradually acclimate both cuttings and rooted plants to their new environment.

For Cuttings:

  • Allow 4-7 days for the cutting’s end to dry and callus before planting to prevent rotting.
  • Disinfect the cutting’s end before planting, especially in cooler temperatures, using organic GrowSafe.
  • Keep the cutting in the shade until fully rooted, checking for resistance when gently tugged.
  • New growth may appear before rooting is complete; double-check before assuming it is rooted.
  • Once rooted, gradually introduce the cutting to partial sun, then to full sun, avoiding direct sunlight initially.

For Rooted Plants:

  • Gradually acclimate the plant to partial sun, followed by full sun over 1-2 weeks.
  • In hot areas (above 95°F), use a 30-40% shade cloth to prevent sunburn.
  • Be cautious of heat reflected off cemented areas, which can harm the plant.

Growing Conditions:

  • Dragon fruit thrives in tropical and subtropical climates (e.g., Hawaii, Florida, Southern California).
  • In less favorable climates, protect younger plants during extreme weather with a greenhouse in winter and shade cloth in summer. Mature plants (3+ years old) can withstand more extreme conditions but may still need winter protection below 30°F.

Soil & Watering:

  • Use well-draining soil, starting with a cactus mix. Once familiar with the growing process, you can customize the soil mix with perlite, chicken manure, potting soil, and compost.
  • Dragon fruit loves full sun but requires protection in extremely hot conditions.
  • Water during the hot season when the top 2 inches of soil are dry. Avoid waterlogging to prevent root rot. In colder temperatures, water sparingly, with no watering needed in winter unless grown in a greenhouse.

Fertilization:

  • Apply chicken manure monthly during the growing season. Fish fertilizer is an alternative, though it may produce an odor.
  • Use a bloom booster on mature plants to stimulate bud production.
