The dragon's beard tree, also known as the fragrant thousand-year-old tree or dragon's blood tree, is famous for its slender, emerald green and shiny leaves. The leaves remain bright green all year round, like a green waterfall, adding a touch of vitality to the room. Whether placed in the living room or bedroom, it is like the money tree , the lucky tree and the peace tree. It is not only beautiful but also easy to maintain. Especially in cold areas in winter, it can thrive. It is easier to maintain than the money tree and the lucky tree, and is more cold-resistant. Let’s learn how to grow a dragon beard tree. 1. Potting soil and repotting For newly planted dragon beard trees, it is recommended to change the flowerpot every 1 to 2 years. If the plant grows larger, choose a slightly larger pot to avoid top-heavyness, and ensure that the soil has sufficient nutrients to promote its healthy growth. Suitable planting soil is peat soil or leaf mold, mixed with one-fifth river sand or vermiculite perlite , and an appropriate amount of cake fertilizer or bone meal as base fertilizer. 2. Water moderately During the growing season of the dragon beard tree, it is crucial to keep the soil moderately moist. Excessive or insufficient water can affect their health. Avoid waterlogging in the soil to prevent root rot. At the same time, long-term drought will cause the soil to dry out, affecting plant growth, and the leaves may turn yellow and fall off due to lack of water. 3. Apply fertilizer at the right time The dragon beard tree does not require much fertilizer . Even during its vigorous growth period, applying an appropriate amount of dilute fertilizer and water, especially increasing nitrogen fertilizer, is enough to promote lush leaf growth and make the plant more beautiful. 4. Pruning and Topping If you find that the main branches of the dragon beard tree grown at home or on the balcony are too high, you can top it and prune it to promote the growth of side branches, making the plant fuller and increasing its ornamental value. 5. Cutting propagation The pruned branches do not have to be discarded, they can be directly inserted into the soil, and they will soon take root and sprout, growing into new dragon beard trees. In this way, multiple new plants can be propagated from one dragon beard tree. The operation is simple and the survival rate is high. In summary, through these simple maintenance measures, the dragon beard tree can thrive in the home and become a beautiful green landscape. Friends who have pets at home can refer to this.
