# Good morning and happy Saturday… I have had this dragon fruit for…

_Posted by Joy on 2024-12-14_

Good morning and happy Saturday… I have had this dragon fruit for quite a while and didn’t really water it that often I know the seasons have changed and we are now into winter and I also changed its spot… Don’t know why it is turning kinda yellow and brown I don’t know if I am under watering it or over watering it. Any help would be great thank you so much.😊

Is it getting direct sunlight now? Maybe it doesn’t like it’s now spot

#### Joy replied on 2024-12-15

Yes, I think it may be getting too much sunlight, but it can’t go back to its own spot because it can’t fit anymore and the new pot

Moisture meters are useless when telling you how wet the soil is, because it can say wet when the soil is dry. Also they are supposed to be getting full direct sunlight and they should be watered once a month in winter, since they like to be more moist than other cacti. But they should still get bone dry between waterings, to not overwatering water and cause rot and being bone dry makes them grow a lot faster than when they are moist.

Also they are tropical cacti so they should misted once or twice a week.

Thank you , 😊

This is also a TON of dragon fruit plants in one pot. I split mine up. I lost quite a few in the transplant but the ones that remained are doing a lot better on their own than they were all crowded up together.

#### Joy replied on 2024-12-15

Oh, didn’t even think of that… I will split them up that way I can put some of it back to the spot that it was in, thank you
