Overwintered 2 Thai Dragons (400,000 shu) and 1 Seven Pot Barrackpore (1.3 million shu) for the first time. Heating mat keeping their toes toasty, consistent micro dosing of general fertilizer. Pretty constant battle with aphids, safer soap fairly regularly, but that should settle once we open up the polyhouse and the ladybugs start to show.
They feel pretty happy to me, but does anyone have any tips/tricks for maintaining them long term? The dragons produce continually and have great size, but the 7 pots are a little small for what they should be.
Thin out the leaves a bit? Specific fertilizer you’ve had success with? I’ve pinched some of the yellowed leaves as they have started to droop.

They look great! I wouldn’t change a thing except for potting up.
