The best time to prune a dragon blood tree is in spring because it is warmer during this period and the plant is in its growing season with a higher growth capacity. After pruning, the mother plant is easier to recover and the sub-plants are easier to take root and survive. It is not suitable to prune it in winter because it grows slowly during this period and the sub-plants are more difficult to survive. How to prune the branches of dragon blood tree1. Plastic surgery Dracaena is an ornamental foliage plant and needs to be pruned frequently during cultivation so that the overall plant shape will look better and its ornamental value will be improved. When pruning, the top part should be cut flat and the relatively long leaves at the bottom should be trimmed so that its leaves can fall naturally, making it look more dignified and decent. 2. Pruning during the growing season During the growing season, you should prune the relatively weak branches and leave the thick branches. This will help concentrate the nutrients and not waste them on other branches. 3. Pruning during flowering period The flowering of Dracaena buds will consume a lot of nutrients. It is recommended to cut off the flower buds directly. If you need to keep them for viewing, you should cut off the remaining flowers in time to save nutrients and promote the better opening of other flowers. 4. Pruning at maturity After the dragon blood tree blooms, the branches that have not bloomed need to be pruned away, and the branches that have bloomed need to be shortened. This can preserve nutrients and promote better growth in the next year, which will help it survive the winter smoothly. Precautions for pruning dragon blood treesWhen pruning the Dracaena, be sure to use special tools and make the cut as smooth as possible to facilitate recovery. In addition, do not rush to water it after pruning, especially the wound should not be exposed to water, as this will easily cause infection. It is best to wait until it recovers before watering it. |
