Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and plant at the same depth as it was in the nursery pot. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the establishment period. Once established, water when the top inch of soil feels dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cactus benefits from regular feeding during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer. Prune to control size and remove dead or damaged stems. Protect from frost and freezing temperatures, as the plant is sensitive to cold. In cooler climates, grow in a container that can be moved indoors during winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne (1) Yellow Dragon Fruit plant (Selenicereus megalanthus).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67836004335926,"sku":"FOLIA2-1677","price":264.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.8019136447_h3bv.jpg?v=1793097118","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/1-yellow-dragon-fruit-plant-selenicereus-megalanthus","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
