DESCRIPTION
This listing is for one single cutting (non-rooted) or a rooted plant, depending on your selection. The cutting is approximately 12 inches long unless stated otherwise. Due to the nature of live plants, the cuttings you receive may look different from the pictures. Most cuttings are made to order and will be taken from the mother plant prior to shipping.
Purple Haze Dragon Fruit Cutting and rooted plants 🌿🍇🌵
Experience the vibrant Purple Haze, a stunning hybrid of Hylocereus guatemalensis and H. undatus known for its large juicy fruit with bright magenta flesh and refreshing sweet grape flavor! 🍇 The fruit is big (1-2 lbs) with pink skin and green fins, perfect for fresh eating or smoothies. Not self-fertile—needs another dragon fruit variety for pollination. It blooms beautiful white flowers and grows aggressive, fast-filling stems. 🌞 Prefers well-draining soil, 6-8 hours of sun, and moderate watering. Great for containers or gardens, hardy in zones 9+ and can be brought indoors in cooler climates. Order your Purple Haze cutting and enjoy three fruiting cycles a year! 🌸✈️🍃
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.
