How often should I water my dragon blood tree?

Dracaena is drought-resistant and does not require too much water. Usually watering it once every 10 days or so is enough to ensure the growth of the plant. When watering the Dracaena, you should water it thoroughly at once and keep the soil in the pot moist. You can use rice water or well water to promote growth.

How to water the dragon blood tree

1. Insert a stick : Dracaena is cold-resistant, so you can insert a stick into the soil to see how much water is left. If there is not much, you need to water it.

2. Watering frequency : When watering the Dracaena, you need to choose the watering frequency according to the temperature changes. In the summer when the temperature is high, the water evaporates quickly, so you can water the Dracaena once in the morning and evening every day. In the spring and autumn when the temperature is more suitable, you can water it every three days.

Precautions for watering dragon blood tree

1. Spray water frequently : Soil that is too dry or too wet is not conducive to the growth and development of Dracaena. If water accumulates in the pot, the roots are prone to rot. Spray water frequently to increase the air humidity. You can place an outdoor shower on rainy days, but prevent waterlogging.

2. Water source selection : Watering with rice water and well water can promote growth. If it is tap water, let it dry for 2 days before watering and use it after the chlorine evaporates.

What to do if you overwater your dragon blood tree

1. Take off the pot and place the flower root soil in a cool and ventilated place to allow the water to evaporate quickly.

2. If the situation is serious, you need to remove the plant from the pot and check whether the roots are rotten. If so, cut off the rotten roots and change the soil and replant. Make sure the soil has good drainage.
