🐉 Propagating Dragon Fruit: 7 Simple Steps

1. Medium
Use Sunshine Mix #4 — a light blend of peat moss, perlite, and mycorrhizal fungi.
✅ Fast drying/rehydrating → strong roots
✅ Lightweight → better drainage
✅ Less rot risk

2. Pot Selection
✅ Best: 1-gallon black nursery pots
💡 Budget: Clear plastic cups (not ideal for root health)

3. Preparing Cuttings
Let cuttings callous 1–7 days.
❌ Snap off the top tip to boost rooting
🌿 Dip in Vera’s Vitality (natural rooting aid)

4. Planting
Fill pot with loose Sunshine Mix #4.
🌱 Insert cutting ½ inch deep
🪵 Add a bamboo stake and secure with garden tape

5. Location
Root in shaded or indirect light.
✅ In summer, use a north-facing spot to prevent overheating

6. Watering
💧 Spray soil gently every other day
🚫 Do not water the crown — prevents rot

7. After Rooting (3–4 weeks)
🌞 Slowly introduce more light
🪴 Transplant once pot is root-filled or ready for full sun
