How to propagate the golden edge dracaena
Today, I will introduce to you how to propagate the golden edge dracaena and the related topics of dracaena propagation and maintenance techniques. Here is a detailed introduction.
The golden edge dracaena has a distinct white stripe on its leaves, making it very attractive, similar to the golden heart dracaena and curly leaf dracaena. Like green vines, Heavenly bamboo, and haworthia, it can purify indoor air and stay green all year round. With autumn approaching, it's a great time to grow flowers and plants. If you don't have a golden edge dracaena at home, you can pick some stolons from relatives, classmates, or friends and propagate them in a pot. If you already have one pot, you can easily propagate more plants with a little effort.
No matter if it's the golden edge dracaena, the common green dracaena, the golden heart dracaena, or other dracaenas, autumn is also a very suitable time for propagation. This way, you can easily turn one pot of dracaena into ten or twenty pots, or even more.
How to propagate the golden edge dracaena? With one "small trick", it roots quickly, turns green and lush, and one pot can become twenty pots!
The time for propagating the golden edge dracaena is in spring and autumn, especially in autumn, as it propagates super fast due to the quick root growth.
Specific methods and steps for propagating the golden edge dracaena
First, cut the stolons from the center of the leaves. Usually, there will be some aerial roots on the stolons, which grow very fast after propagation. If there are no aerial roots, it's fine to cut them anyway. As long as they come into contact with moist soil, they will soon grow many white roots.
How to propagate the golden edge dracaena
Plant these stolons directly in small pots, not covering the soil too much, and make sure the center is not covered. Use loose and fertile soil, water every other day, and keep it out of direct sunlight for the first week. After ten days, new roots and leaves will grow, then gradually expose it to sunlight. This can propagate many pots of dracaena, giving a great sense of achievement. I propagate a super amount of dracaena every year, and my balcony and terrace are full of golden edge dracaena, with no room left for more pots.
You can also soak them in water, prepare a drinking cup or a simple glass bottle, fill it with tap water, and place the golden edge dracaena stolons with or without aerial roots in the water. Then place it in the kitchen, bathroom, or living room, where there is a bit of scattered light and ventilation. Within a week, white roots will grow without the need for nutrient solution. The roots will grow quickly, and after ten days, you will notice that the white roots in the glass bottle are continuously growing. At this point, you can take them out and plant them in the soil of a flower pot.
Regular maintenance of the golden edge dracaena is also simple
Do not expose it to direct sunlight when the temperature is high, keep it in a shaded area, keep it warm indoors when the temperature is low, expose it to sunlight, and water less. After the pot is full, change the soil in spring and autumn, and it will grow better and stronger! In autumn, propagate the "golden edge dracaena", and one pot can grow into twenty pots, each growing vigorously and full!
