DRACAENA MARGINATA
Dragon Tree
Remember to monitor your Dracaena closely and adjust the care routine as needed based on the specific conditions of your indoor environment. Regularly check for pests, such as spider mites or scale insects, and take appropriate measures to control them if necessary.
Plant Maintenance
Basic Care
Check soil moisture regularly for your Dracaena. Water thoroughly, ensuring the entire root ball is reached. Typically, a Dracaena needs to be watered every 1-2 weeks, but this can vary depending on environmental conditions. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely or become waterlogged. Watch for signs of overwatering or under watering, and adjust the watering schedule accordingly.
Feed your Dracaena with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer designed for houseplants. Follow the instructions on the fertilizer packaging for dosage and frequency. Fertilize during the growing season, typically from spring to early fall. Reduce or fertilization during the winter months when growth slows.
Dracaena varietals require bright, indirect light to thrive indoors, but can tolerate lower level conditions. Ensure your blinds or curtains remain open during the day to allow adequate sunlight for your Dracaena.
Prune your Dracaena to maintain its shape and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Pruning can be done throughout the year as needed. Use clean, sharp pruning shears to make clean cuts.
