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.
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.
From April to May, Dracaena plants will leave the dormant period and prepare to enter the season of vigorous growth. Pruning them before they reach the growing season can keep them healthy, which can also make it easier for plants to shape their ideal appearance. Because there are many leaves in Dracaena, it is necessary to break all the yellow leaves in time to reduce the consumption of nutrients by such leaves, so as to leave more nutrients to maintain the growth of Dracaena, and only a part can be cut off when cutting old leaves. Too much will affect its normal growth. When the nutrients in the new leaves are insufficient, the nutrients in the old leaves will turn to the new leaves, providing nutrients for the new leaves to maintain growth.
At the end of August after the growth period of Dracaena, the leaves and branches of Dracaena can be pruned again. Pruning Dracaena in autumn can help Dracaena save energy in winter dormancy.
After pruning, the dragon's blood tree should be watered normally, and it should be watered every morning after 10 and before 6 pm, especially when it is dry and hot. When watering, you can add some foliar fertilizer to ensure the humidity and brightness of the leaves. Water control once every 10 day in winter.
