There are no special key points for cutting off the top of a Dracaena. This method is not only for Dracaena but also applies to many other woody plants. For example, we often see that trees that have been cut down do not have their roots dug up and still grow many new branches. Here are some common questions about cutting off the top of a Dracaena:
1. Where is the right place to cut off the top.
The position for cutting does not need to be fixed. If you prefer it shorter, you can cut it shorter; if you prefer it taller, you can cut it longer.
2. How to handle the wound after cutting off the top.
If there is some plant ash available, you can sprinkle some on the wound after cutting. Some enthusiasts use cigarette ash, with the same purpose of sterilizing and disinfecting. You can also leave the wound untreated and let it dry.
3. Is the top that is cut off still useful?
The top that is cut off can be discarded, or it can be used to propagate new plants. Apply some plant ash to the cut surface or let it dry a bit before inserting it into the soil, with the leaves cut in half. Some enthusiasts also root it in water before planting it in the soil, which is also possible, but neither method guarantees 100% success, and there is a certain chance of failure.
