- Planting:
- Position Dracaena draco in a location with bright, indirect light to full sun. It can tolerate lower light but will grow best in bright conditions.
- Use well-draining soil such as a cactus or succulent mix. Adding sand or gravel to the soil can enhance drainage.
- For container planting, choose a pot with drainage holes and a well-draining soil mix.
- Watering:
- Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. The plant’s trunk stores water, making it drought-tolerant.
- Reduce watering in winter when the plant’s growth slows down.
- Avoid overwatering and ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent root rot.
- Pruning:
- Prune as needed to remove dead or damaged leaves. Cut them off at the base using sharp, sterile scissors or pruning shears.
- Trim back any excessively long or leggy leaves to maintain the plant's shape if desired.
- Fertilizing:
- Feed lightly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer or a cactus-specific fertilizer.
- Fertilize once or twice during the spring and summer.
- Avoid fertilizing during the winter months when the plant is not actively growing.
- Pest and Disease Control:
- Dracaena draco is generally resistant to pests but may occasionally attract spider mites, mealybugs, or scale insects.
- Treat pests with insecticidal soap or neem oil as needed.
- Ensure good air circulation around the plant and avoid overwatering to prevent fungal diseases and rot.
