Dracaena needs to be mixed with garden soil and coarse sand as a substrate, and the bottom of the potted container is placed with small gravel, and it needs to be placed in the sun in the process of breeding, and the temperature is controlled at about 16 26, and the high temperature in summer is sunscreened, and the temperature needs to be controlled to between 5 and 10 in winter.

1. Select the soil

In the process of breeding, the dracaena needs to be prepared with loose and fertile soil, under normal circumstances, it can be mixed with pastoral soil and coarse sand as a substrate, and the mixed soil can also add an appropriate amount of farmhouse fertilizer to make the base fertilizer of the mixed soil, so that the soil can make it grow better, and the bottom of the potted container is placed with small gravel to prevent the roots of the dracaena from rotting.

2. Light temperature

Dracaena is a plant that likes sunlight, it needs to be bathed in sunlight every day, if the light is not enough is likely to make it grow, it generally needs to maintain its growth temperature at about 16 26, when the summer temperature is higher than 35, then you need to do a good job of sun protection, and when the winter temperature is lower than 5, you need to control the temperature to between 5 10.

3. Water and fertilizer management

In fact, in the cultivation method of dracaena, the dracaena likes to grow in moist soil, usually needs to be watered once every 3 5 days, so that the soil is kept moist, in winter, rainy days to control the amount of watering, when the dracaena grows vigorously, it is also necessary to apply nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer every half a month, so that its leaves grow brighter.

4. Turn over the pot and change the soil

Under normal circumstances, the dracaena needs to be repotted and repotted once every two years, each time it can be repotted in the spring in May, if it is not repotted in time, its potting soil is easy to compact, and can not provide water and nutrients in time, and in the process of changing the soil every time, do not damage the root system of the plant, otherwise it will affect the growth of the plant.

5. Propagation by cuttings

Every year in the spring of May and June, you can pick 10 20cm of strong branches from the two-year-old dragon's blood tree, soak the branch incision in naphthalene acetic acid, rooting water and other solutions, take out the pot after about 1 3 minutes, put it in a cool and ventilated environment, and wait for the branches to take root and sprout again in the potting soil.

3. Temperature, the most suitable temperature is 20 28, the highest temperature in summer should not exceed 32, and the lowest temperature in winter should not be lower than 10, and lower temperature will lead to yellow-brown patches on the tip of the leaf.

4. Watering, it has a relatively strong drought tolerance, in order to prevent the phenomenon of decay, must not be too much watering, generally every 10-15 days can be watered, as long as its soil is kept slightly moist.

5. Precautions.

1) Change pots: Be careful when changing pots, don't hurt its root system, especially the taproot, don't just find some soil when changing pots, it is best to choose sandy soil with good exhaust properties. Don't water it immediately after changing the pot, put it in a cool place, don't be exposed to direct sunlight, and stay for 3-5 days before watering normally.

1. Loose, fertile and permeable sandy soil is preferred for dracaena. In addition, an appropriate amount of organic fertilizer and ferrous sulfate can be added to the nutrient solution.

2. Agave likes light, but is afraid of sun exposure. It likes warm, humid and sunny environments, and is resistant to semi-shade and semi-dryness. The leaves are bright in the sun.

3. The minimum temperature in winter is 5 10, if the temperature is too low, yellow-brown patches will appear on the leaf tips and leaf margins.

4. The dracaena tree has strong drought resistance, and should not be watered too much to prevent the trunk from rotting. It can be poured every ten days or half a month to keep the basin dry and moist.

5. Dracaena should be applied with thin fertilizer, less nitrogen fertilizer, more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, and rock demolition to avoid excessive application of nitrogen fertilizer, and the golden yellow stripes of the leaves are not obvious, and the hibernation period of fertilization should be stopped.

6. Note: Dracaena reproduction skills The requirements of dracaena for soil are slightly acidic (pH value is about, and sandy soil with high humus content in coniferous forest can be used. After planting, the soil in the pot should be kept moist, and the water and fertilizer should change with the season.

Water 2-3 times a week in hot and dry summers, and once or less once a week in winter, depending on indoor humidity.
