What are the cultivation methods and precautions of Dragon Tree?

Introduction of Dragon Beard Tree

The dragon's beard tree, also known as the dracaena, is a plant of the genus Dracaena in the Dracaena family. It is usually propagated by cuttings. The main varieties include narrow-leaved Dracaena, Javan Dracaena, fragrant Dracaena, star-spotted Dracaena, tiger-spotted Dracaena, marginated-leaf Dracaena, and Deli Dracaena.

How to cultivate dragon beard tree

The dragon beard tree is not resistant to low temperatures. The winter temperature needs to be above 5-10 degrees, and it is best to provide a temperature of 15 degrees. In low temperature weather, yellow-brown spots will appear on the tips and edges of the leaves. It is suitable for planting in loose, well-drained, humus-rich soil.

The dragon beard tree likes sufficient light and is suitable for maintenance in a well-lit place. In addition, it likes an environment with slightly higher air humidity. The air is dry in autumn, so you should pay attention to spraying to increase the air humidity. After the temperature drops in late autumn, the potting soil should be moist and slightly dry. You can spray a small amount to increase the air humidity.

Watering method

The dragon beard tree likes a humid environment. If the soil surface is slightly dry, it needs to be watered in time. Each time you water it, water it thoroughly without leaving any dead corners. It should be wet all over without causing water accumulation.

Fertilization method

In addition to normal fertilization during the growing season of the dragon beard tree, you can also spray foliar fertilizer during spraying, which can ensure that the leaves of the dragon beard tree are green and shiny.

Pruning methods

The leaves at the bottom of the dragon beard tree often turn yellow and need to be picked off in time. If yellow leaves appear at the tips of the leaves, just cut off the tips. This can reduce nutrient consumption and improve the ornamental value of the plant.

Precautions for cultivating dragon beard tree

During the growing season of the dragon beard tree, the soil can be loosened every month to maintain the permeability of the potting soil. If water is found in the pot, it should be drained as soon as possible. The potting soil needs to be replaced once a year. In addition, it is not cold-resistant and will enter a dormant or semi-dormant state in winter. It needs to be moved indoors for maintenance to prevent early frost.
