Care Requirements

Below, you’ll find key tips tailored to this species’ requirements. Whether you’re new to plant care or have plenty of experience, these guidelines are here to support you in keeping your green companion healthy and vibrant.

  1. Planting:
    • Place Dracaena draco in a location with bright, indirect light to full sun. It can tolerate a range of light conditions but thrives in bright light.
    • Use well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix. Adding sand or gravel can enhance drainage.
    • For container planting, choose a pot with good drainage and a well-draining soil mix.
  2. Watering:
    • Water moderately, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Dracaena draco is drought-tolerant and prefers infrequent watering.
    • Reduce watering during the fall and winter when the plant’s growth slows down.
    • Avoid overwatering and ensure that the soil is well-draining to prevent root rot.
  3. Pruning:
    • Pruning is minimal. Remove any dead or damaged leaves from the base of the rosette using sharp, sterile scissors or pruning shears.
    • Trim back any long or leggy stems to maintain a compact shape if desired.
  4. Fertilizing:
    • Fertilize lightly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer or a cactus-specific fertilizer.
    • Apply fertilizer once or twice in spring and summer.
    • Avoid fertilizing during the winter months.
  5. Pest and Disease Control:
    • Dracaena draco is relatively pest-resistant but may occasionally attract pests such as spider mites, mealybugs, or scale insects.
    • Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil as needed.
    • Ensure good air circulation around the plant and avoid overwatering to prevent fungal diseases and rot.
