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 buyerās 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 cuttingās end to dry and callus before planting to prevent rotting.
- Disinfect the cuttingās 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 95Ā°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 30Ā°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.
