Dracaena Care Guide

Dracaena is a popular genus in the Asparagaceae family, and has over 120 species, with one of the most famous one is Lucky Bamboo (Dracaena sanderiana). 

------------------------------------

FLOWERS:

Dracaena rarely bloom indoor, but it is a nice bonus and sign of happiness when they do. The flowers are on a thick stalk and has hundreds of tiny cute flowers on it.

------------------------------------

WATERING:

Water once every month (the soil should be dried out by then) in the winter, and twice a month in the summer months. (so every 2 weeks). My grandparents have had a Dracaena for over 10 years now, they use this watering schedule and the plant is growing crazy fast, so much that every couple of years they have to cut off a branch because it gets too big, and a year later, there was a new branch half the size of the old one.

------------------------------------

  REQUIREMENTS:

These plants are not picky about their light requirements, but it does play a big role in its growth. Now these are quite strong plants, but like most plants, in order for them to thrive they need bright, but indirect light.

------------------------------------

PROPAGATION:

Propagating this plant is super easy! Take a stem cutting, remove the lower leaves, either plant in moist soil (which yoú´ll have to keep moist until you see that the cutting is growing again, because that is a sign that it has produced roots) or in water, and plant it once it has grown a nice amount of roots.

------------------------------------

MEDIUMS:

A soil that can hold moisture for a bit that has drainage and airflow to the roots is the best for Dracaena. So the soil mix i recommend using potting soil, leca, petlite, and coco peat.
