However, if there is insufficient light, the patterns on its leaves will fade or the tips of the leaves will turn yellow and dry. In this case, you must replenish water for it in time.
In terms of water management, Dracaena is not tolerant to waterlogging. Watering should be moderate. During the growth period, it is advisable to keep the potting soil moist. The watering principle should be to water when dry and thoroughly when watering. Avoid water accumulation at all costs. If the weather is dry in autumn, it is recommended to spray water mist on the leaves and surrounding environment to increase air humidity. In this way, it is better to avoid dull leaf color and decreased glossiness. In winter, watering should be reduced. At the same time, during the growing season, the plant needs to be watered with a compound fertilizer of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium once a month to promote its healthy growth. In terms of soil selection, Dracaena is suitable for sandy or gravel soil with good drainage. You can choose a mixture of decayed leaf soil, garden soil and sand in a ratio of 1:1:1.
Finally, pruning is most overlooked by many flower lovers. In fact, the plant needs to be pruned every 2 to 3 years, including old leaves and withered and yellow leaves. Only by doing this can it help reduce nutrient consumption and avoid yellowing leaves spreading at the lower part of the plant. Flower lovers, as long as you follow these maintenance principles, your Dracaena will thrive and add a unique touch of greenery to your living space.
