Rare Worth Lime Variegated cuttings and rooted live plants

DESCRIPTION

We acquired this variety from Southern California, and it was originally imported from South Asia. The photos shown are of our mother plants; your cuttings may vary in appearance.

Worth Lime Variegated becomes more vibrant with increased sun exposure—but be cautious not to burn the plant. Use shade cloth for protection unless you are in a tropical climate.

Cuttings are made to order and may range from 12–15 inches or 18–22 inches, depending on availability. Please note that variegated plants take longer to root and grow, so patience is required.

Mayumi Garden recommends this variety only for experienced growers. We are not responsible if buyers are unable to root the cuttings or keep the plant alive. If purchasing cuttings, please understand that extra care and patience are needed. Alternatively, we offer grafted or rooted plants for those who prefer a more established option.

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.
