# Just got this new dragon fruit plant yesterday, and has these “dents”…

Just got this new dragon fruit plant yesterday, and has these “dents” on the corners where the plant touched the pot. Does it need to be re-potted? Is this something I should be worried about?

Funny, i have one in propagation (just one arm of it) and the day after i potted it up i found same thing but realized it was actually a squirrel that was chewing on the plant! You could have some neighborhood snackers. 🐿️

Weird.. he was living in a grocery store before I got him yesterday. Could it still be an animal somehow?

It’s just outgrowing that planter. Dragon fruit seeds are extremely tiny and it recently became trendy to put a lot of them in one little pot. These need space to grow. You can cut some of them off and put them more separated in a bigger pot.

Thank you! I’m new to all of this, but what type of soil would you recommend re-potting it to?

#### 9s님이 2023-06-13에 답변했습니다.

I recommend something with lots of perlite and sand. It’s very cactus like but it’s a tropical fruiting plant, which means it wants well draining soil that gets watered frequently :)

If you look on my profile, I have a photo of mine for comparison :) it has lots of space to grow up
