Caring for your Dracaena fragrans
Light
Medium-high
Watering
Low- medium. Allow the soil to dry out a little between watering
Pruning
If the plant gets too leggy, you can remove the top part of the plant (and propagate that by planting in some soil – it will root quite readily). Dormant buds from lower down the stem will then break and new clusters of leaves will form, ultimately creating a new branch
Feeding
Heavy doses of fertilizer can be harmful. A weak solution of fertilizer added to the water at each watering would ensure that essential nutrients are given, without risking giving too much
Pest & Diseases
Largely pest free, but keep an eye open for mealybugs, which might hide in the leaf bases and underneath the leaves. They are best controlled by physical removal and cleaning the leaves with a damp cloth or paper towel.
Dracaenas can be prone to leaf damage caused by a build-up of soluble salts found in some tap water or if fertilizer is too strong. Characteristic black lesions along leaf margins and tips are good indicators.
