A cactus mix amended with perlite or sand is ideal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWatering: Water moderately during the growing season and sparingly during the winter. The soil should be allowed to dry out between waterings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemperature: Thrives in temperatures between 21°C and 29°C. While it can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures, it should be protected from frost.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight: Requires full sun for best growth and fruit production, but in very hot climates, some afternoon shade may be necessary to prevent scorching.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFertilising Use a balanced fertilizer with a slightly higher phosphorus content, like 8-10-8, every two months during the active growing season.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePruning: Prune to remove dead or excessive growth to maintain plant size and shape, which also helps in improving fruit production.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch to conserve moisture and protect the roots from extreme temperatures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePest Control: Keep an eye out for common pests such as aphids, mealybugs, and spider mites. Treat with appropriate insecticides if necessary.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlowering and Fruiting: Typically flowers at night once mature, which then develop into large, colorful fruits. Hand pollination can increase fruit set.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePotting: Suitable for container growing, which can be beneficial to manage size and facilitate moving if needed for frost protection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeeding Regime: Regular application of a balanced fertilizer during the growing season supports robust growth and fruiting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Exotica NZ","offers":[{"title":"Small","offer_id":67589218795771,"sku":"WHDRAGONROOTEDSM","price":79.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":67589221253371,"sku":"WHDRAGONROOTEDMED","price":109.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Large","offer_id":67589221286139,"sku":null,"price":129.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Extra Large","offer_id":67589221318907,"sku":null,"price":149.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/3826\/3803\/files\/DragonfruitPotWhite1.jpg?v=1790550697","url":"https:\/\/farmfreshdirect.co.nz\/products\/white-dragon-fruit-rooted-in-pot","provider":"Farm Fresh Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
