{"product_id":"bruces-dragon-cactus-sh6","title":"Bruce's Dragon Cactus SH6","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"101\" data-end=\"904\"\u003eBruce’s Dragon is a striking cactus cultivar with knobbly, sculptural bluish-green stems and sparse honey-to-brown spines, showcasing the curious monstrose form of the trunk of this columnar species. It is able to develop into a tall, branching specimen—many related plants reach roughly 2-5 m (6-16 ft) in height under ideal conditions. Best grown in bright light or full sun with minimal regular water and a very well-draining cactus mix, it prefers warm, dry conditions and should be kept relatively dry in winter to avoid rot. This specimen thrives in USDA zones roughly 9–11 or indoors where sun is strong, and responds to occasional deep watering followed by thorough drying. It’s a bold accent plant for desert-style or succulent collections and rewards the patient grower with dramatic form.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"911\" data-end=\"927\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"911\" data-end=\"925\"\u003eCare tips:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"930\" data-end=\"1734\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"930\" data-end=\"1030\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"932\" data-end=\"1030\"\u003ePlant in a gritty, fast-draining cactus or succulent soil mix (e.g., add coarse sand or pumice).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1033\" data-end=\"1213\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1035\" data-end=\"1213\"\u003eGive at least 6 hours of bright direct sunlight or an east\/west exposure; gradually acclimate outdoor plants to full sun to avoid sunburn. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ms-1 inline-flex max-w-full items-center relative top-[-0.094rem] animate-[show_150ms_ease-in]\" data-testid=\"webpage-citation-pill\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1216\" data-end=\"1403\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1218\" data-end=\"1403\"\u003eWater deeply when the substrate is fully dry, then allow it to dry out completely before watering again; reduce watering significantly in winter. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ms-1 inline-flex max-w-full items-center relative top-[-0.094rem] animate-[show_150ms_ease-in]\" data-testid=\"webpage-citation-pill\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1406\" data-end=\"1584\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1408\" data-end=\"1584\"\u003eProtect from temperatures well below freezing; in cooler climates grow it in a pot and bring it inside or provide frost-free conditions. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ms-1 inline-flex max-w-full items-center relative top-[-0.094rem] animate-[show_150ms_ease-in]\" data-testid=\"webpage-citation-pill\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1587\" data-end=\"1734\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1589\" data-end=\"1734\"\u003eAvoid high humidity and poorly ventilated spots, which can cause rot; ensure good airflow around the plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will receive the exact plant pictured, it is a fully rooted plant.
