Pretty good
Am an fairly experienced cactus/succulent collector and had my eye on getting a pitaya for quite some time. I definitely didn’t feel like dealing with Houston to pick one up either. The price was right on 2 cuttings so I decided to scoop these up as I hadn’t been able to find any closer to my location with white flesh.The box mine came is arrived completely smashed. I assume this was more an issue with post than seller as the cuttings were in ok shape upon arrival. Packed in newspaper with additional padding. I’ve sent cutting in similar so no problem there.Not sure if it was the heat of Texas(pushing 104 feeling like 110) over the past few days, but my larger cutting was in first stages of browning at the top- and seems to have been a little crushed from the damage to the box.. Trying to wait a bit and see how the larger grows before snipping the damage to the tip.Neither cutting was shriveled or dead. Both actually very healthy(aside from the aforementioned light browning/smash on the larger) brought back worse than a little browning/damage on other vining cacti and various succulent cuttings so fingers crossed that I’m just being overly fussy.The smaller cutting is in perfect condition and seemed to have been spared the post offices wrath. Very healthy cutting and frankly had it not looked so good I probably would not have noticed damage to the larger prior to potting.Issues with post are not the sellers fault and thus I’m keeping a 5 star rating. Shipping is still fast and product packed well-besides the flimsy smashed box. I’ll probably order more once the weather cools a bit as I blame excessive heat in the back of a delivery van over a grower. All in all a good product and great addition to my hoard/collection.

Very Nice
I am pleased as peas with my delivery and the condition. They are so healthy and robust in size. The only reason I see them not doing well is driver error. Not a great gardener(commitment issues) but recently ate one of these and was impressed. I do have a variety of cactus and agave so I thought why not try them out. I wished I had done a bit more research on their needs though not a deal breaker for me, they can't withstand below 40* F temps. So the planting outside becomes planting in pots to allow moving inside for temps below 40F. I'll give it a shot but I know me and have no plants requiring this love but since I like the fruit and now own them...here goes a shot!!

You should throw this in the compost bin
Please take my lessons, don’t buy from this seller.I’ve never seen someone sell this thin and unhealthy cuttings. There is only one place this cutting should go: the compost bin.Also the seller cut the plant and shipped it out right away, so when I got it, it’s already molded at the two sides.

Amazing customer support and good clippings
At first the cuttings didn’t arrive I requested a refund but they offered to resend the order with an extra cutting. They arrived in 3 days. They have some yellowing though (that could be from lack of sun 🤷♂️)and one of them has some rust but other than that these are some pretty good cuttings. I’ll send an update when I see some progress. Wish me luck!Update: two of the cuttings exploded with a lot of roots though one of them didn’t grow any I’m going to plant the two that grew roots in some soil right now it’s getting a bit cold to grow these cuttings so I might not get a lot of progress until spring.

just started growing
I bought these a coupe years ago , I lost two but one hung on and it started and is growing fast I've done research on them and is going like it should ,nothing bad to say because I knew what I was getting into with these plants but I am very happy one is coming through , it grew an inch and a half in a week so I built a trellis by the window it's at and will watch and take care of it
P**.
Not self pollinating
Seller omitted crucial information - it requires cross pollination. I had it for 2 years, grew well, produced flowers but no fruit. I guess seller would not sell too many of them if he has included that info.

Gigantic Healthy Dragon Stem!!!
These were big and very healthy stems for a Dragonfruit succulent! I am so very happy with my purchase. I'll try to update with pictures soon. I'll be trying to root them in the meantime. Thanks so much for taking such care with them...they came perfect. :) Highly recommend this seller! Cheers!

Cuttings could be cleaner and properly stored.
My expectations weren't too high, but I hoped for better. Maybe it's the time of the year, but two of the four cuttings I purchased were very dried out and a bit damaged. The other two cuttings were intact but overall the parts where they cut could have been cleaner. All the ends/tips need to be recut because they look like they'll rot within a week if I leave them be. It is my first time ordering cuttings so I don't have anything else to compare to. But I did expect better quality.Size-wise they are on average a little over 9 inches long. Each radius(?) is .5-1in wide, so right across the side it's about 1.25-2 inches wide.Packaging was also just in the standard bubble wrap envelopes, and the paper bag the cuttings were in inside the envelope felt humid enough that the receipt it came with was soggy to touch when I opened the main envelope.I'll do what I can with the cuttings and hope they survive.
