Cultivation methods and precautions of Dracaena

1. Breeding methods

1. Soil: It prefers loose and fertile soil, and needs soil with relatively good drainage. Because they can drain the accumulated water in the pot in time to prevent the plants from being waterlogged.

2. Temperature: The most suitable temperature for plant growth is 20 to 28 degrees. In summer, it is best to move the plant to a cooler location to prevent the temperature from being too high and causing the plant to go dormant.

3. Watering: The plant has strong drought resistance, so do not water it too much to prevent root rot or yellow leaves. Watering once every ten days or so is sufficient.

4. Light: It likes light, but the light is relatively strong in summer. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause burns to the plants. Appropriate shade should be given, and the light will gradually weaken so that the plants can receive light normally.

5. Fertilization: It is better to apply thin fertilizers, mainly phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer, and use less nitrogen fertilizer, because excessive nitrogen fertilizer will cause the leaf pattern to fade, affecting the appearance.

2. Precautions

Shaping and pruning should be done about once a year to remove underdeveloped and diseased leaves. All dead leaves should be trimmed off.
