Draccaena

Amending with sand and peat moss might be necessary to improve porousness and lower the pH of the soil..

Dracaena require less water than most indoor plants. Keep them hydrated by misting the leaves with water and keeping the soil lightly misted(never soggy) as well with good drainage. Always allow the top soil to dry out before watering. Do not overwater,as it may cause root rot.

Never place a dracaena plant in direct sun,as the rays will scorch its foliage.

Feed the Dracaena plant once or twice a year with a slow releasing fertilizer.

Repot the Dracaena plant once a year into a larger pot. Use fresh potting soil while repotting and choose a slightly larger pot.

Propagate the Dracaena plant through stem cutting. Take a stem cutting at least 4 to 5 inches in lenght and remove the lower leaves to expose leaf nodes. Root it in clean water and transplant it to soil once the root system develops.
