Cultivation methods and precautions of Dracaena fragrans

The Dracaena fragrans itself is a relatively easy plant to grow. Some people use hydroponics to grow it. They usually choose a relatively low container such as glass or ceramic, and then immerse the stems of the Dracaena fragrans in water. They change the water every 3-5 days to keep the water clean and hygienic, and apply nutrient solution every 20 days or so, so that the Dracaena fragrans can grow quickly.

Cultivation method of Dracaena fragrans

1. Soil

When cultivating Dracaena fragrans, it is best to choose loose peat soil with good drainage and air permeability, or sandy river soil and garden soil, and then add an appropriate amount of bone meal.

2. Lighting

Dracaena is a plant that likes light, so it is best to grow it outdoors and keep it in light for more than 8 hours a day. However, it should be noted that in the summer when the sunlight is too strong, some shade must be provided to prevent the strong light from burning the leaves of the Dracaena.

3. Temperature

Dracaena fragrans prefers a high temperature environment. Generally speaking, the best temperature is between 20-25℃. Therefore, in winter, Dracaena fragrans should be kept indoors and the breeding temperature should be kept above 10℃ to avoid frost damage due to low temperature.

4. Moisture

Dracaena is more suitable for a humid environment, so it is necessary to replenish water for it in time, but do not allow water to accumulate, otherwise root rot will occur. You can also use a spray bottle to spray its entire leaf surface to keep the leaves moist.

Precautions for the maintenance of Dracaena fragrans

1. Fertilization

When fertilizing the Dracaena fragrans, it is best to use compound fertilizer as the main fertilizer, so as to avoid discoloration of its leaves. Fertilization can be carried out every half a month or so, and it can be used in combination with phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer. In winter, the Dracaena fragrans grows slowly and fertilization needs to be stopped.

2. Repotting

When growing Dracaena fragrans in soil, the potting soil needs to be replaced every two years. Generally, spring is the best time to repot, which can avoid damage to its root system to the greatest extent. After repotting, place it in a cool and ventilated place for maintenance, and wait for it to resume growth before watering.
