To care for the Dragon Blood Tree in winter, do these “4” little things and the leaves will be like a waterfall!

1. Maintain adequate lighting

The dragon blood tree itself is a light-loving plant. Only if we ensure sufficient light during maintenance can it grow vigorously. However, if there is strong direct sunlight, it is necessary to take shade measures, otherwise it is likely to cause leaf burns. Similarly, if the dragon blood tree is placed in a dark place, it will affect the glossiness of the leaves. Therefore, remember to ensure sufficient scattered light during growth and maintenance.

2. Ensure a small amount of watering

Dracaena has a long lifespan and is also a drought-resistant plant. During maintenance, remember to water it less to ensure its vigorous growth. If you water it too much, it will easily lead to waterlogging and root rot, which will eventually affect the growth of the entire potted plant. When watering it, it is best to water it when the soil is dry and then wet it, so that it is not easy to affect its growth. Generally speaking, Dracaena can grow vigorously even if it is not watered for half a month.

3. Ensure the soil is fertile and breathable

Soil is the maintenance medium for the Dracaena potted plant. We need to ensure its nutrition to promote the growth of the Dracaena. Generally, we can choose to use a mixture of leaf mold and sand as the potting soil for the dragon blood tree. This can ensure sufficient nutritional content and air permeability. When preparing the soil, you can also add some base fertilizer at the bottom, which can promote the dragon blood tree to fully absorb nutrients and increase the growth rate.

4. Ensure curing temperature

One of the biggest difficulties in caring for Dracaena in winter is to ensure the temperature during the growing period. Because Dracaena is not very cold-resistant, we need to ensure a temperature of around 10 degrees to allow it to grow normally, otherwise it may suffer from frost damage, and finally in the spring of the following year it will only be left in the pot. Therefore, we need to move it indoors early for maintenance.

The dragon blood tree grows vigorously, and as long as you pay attention to the methods and approaches during the maintenance period, you can help it grow well. If you master these 4 tips, I believe the dragon blood tree in your home will be able to survive the winter safely!
