Dracaena is a foliage plant, so it should be pruned frequently during the breeding period, so that the overall plant shape will be better and the ornamental value will be improved. When pruning, cut the upper part of it flat, trim off the longer leaves at the bottom, and let its leaves fall naturally, which will look more dignified and decent.
2. Pruning in growing season
The pruning methods of Dracaena Dracaena are different at different growth stages. During the growing period, the relatively weak branches should be pruned, leaving thicker branches. This will make its nutrition more concentrated and will not be wasted on other branches.
3. Pruning at flowering stage
Dracaena is a foliage plant, and its flowers are not beautiful. Long buds will consume a lot of nutrients, so it is recommended to cut buds directly. If you want to keep it for viewing, cut off the residual flowers in time to save nutrition and promote other flowers to bloom better.
4. Mature pruning
After the dragon's blood tree blooms, it needs to prune the non-flowering branches, and the flowering branches should be shortened and cut off by a quarter to preserve nutrition and promote its better growth in the coming year. Proper pruning can also save a lot of nutrients, which is beneficial to winter.
5. Preventive measures
When pruning the dragon's blood tree, special tools should be used, and the incision should be flat, which is conducive to recovery. In addition, don't worry about watering after pruning, especially if the wound can't get wet, otherwise it will be easily infected, and then replenish water after recovery.
