Next, the site editor will introduce to netizens.Dracaena, also known as fragrant millennium wood and dragon blood tree, has long, glossy green leaves that remain lush and eye-catching throughout the year. The leaves hang down like a green waterfall, making it as beautiful and eye-catching as the money tree, happiness tree, and peace tree when placed in the living room or bedroom. It is very easy to care for and can even be grown in colder areas during winter, making it more worry-free and cold-resistant than caring for money trees or happiness trees.1. Potting and repottingFor a new Dracaena plant, repot it once every one or two years. If the plant is large, you can use a slightly larger pot to prevent the plant from becoming top-heavy and nutrient-deficient, which is not conducive to its growth. The soil for planting Dracaena can be a mixture of peat or decomposed leaf soil, with one-fifth river sand or vermiculite perlite, and a little cake fertilizer or bone meal as a base fertilizer.2. Moderate wateringDuring the growing season, it is important to keep the soil of the Dracaena pot moist, as excessive or insufficient watering is not suitable and can hinder its growth. Avoid waterlogging at all times to prevent poor drainage and root rot. Insufficient watering for a long time can lead to dry soil, weak growth, and yellowing leaves due to a lack of water.3. Light fertilizingDracaena pots can be grown with minimal effort. Other than moderate watering, there is no need to fertilize frequently. Many experienced gardeners have noted that even without fertilizing for several months, the plant remains lush and green with good growth. However, during the peak growing season, you can water with a dilute fertilizer solution, with a slightly higher nitrogen content to make the leaves more lush and beautiful.How to care for Dracaena to make it more vigorous4. Pinching the top of the DracaenaWhen growing Dracaena at home or on a balcony, you may notice that the main branches tend to grow taller, possibly resulting in leggy growth. In this case, simply cut off the top of the plant without worrying about damaging it. Pinching the top will encourage several new branches to emerge from the cut, resulting in a fuller, more vigorous, and attractive plant with lush foliage.5. Stem cutting propagationDon't waste the cuttings from the top of the plant or throw them in the trash. You can directly plant them in soil, and they will grow into a new Dracaena plant. If several cuttings are taken from one Dracaena plant, you can propagate several new plants, which root quickly and easily grow into a lush pot of greenery. Give it a try if you're interested.
