How to grow dragon blood tree in autumn

1. Suitable temperature

Autumn is the growth season of Dracaena, and only by following the correct maintenance methods can it promote rapid growth. The most suitable temperature is between 20 and 28 degrees. It should not be too high. Above 32 degrees will have an adverse effect on its growth. It is best not to drop below 15 degrees, otherwise it will go dormant. If it is lower, it may be damaged by frost, so be sure to pay attention in late autumn.

2. A small amount of water

The dragon blood tree itself is afraid of waterlogging and has good drought tolerance, so water it in autumn in small amounts and avoid excessive water accumulation. Generally, it is enough to water it once every ten days or half a month to keep the soil slightly moist.

3. Suitable light

Dracaena likes light, but is afraid of strong light. So the light in autumn should be good, but not too strong. Avoid strong light as much as possible, and it is best to provide gentle scattered light, which is conducive to growth.

4. Appropriate amount of fertilizer

In autumn, it does not require much fertilizer. When applying fertilizer, be careful to apply thin fertilizers rather than concentrated fertilizers. Pay attention to the type of fertilizer. Use less nitrogen fertilizer and more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer.

5. Pest control

In autumn, because the surrounding environment is relatively dry, some pests will appear, such as red spider mites. They gather on the leaves and suck the juice from them. Deal with it immediately after discovery. If the amount is small, you can wipe it off with a cloth. If there is a lot, you will need to use chemicals.
