Dragon Tree 'jade Jewel' Care

Proper watering is the trick to keeping this plants’ full appearance. In low light, water sparingly, allowing the top several inches of soil to dry down.

Cut off dead fronds when they have folded down to the trunk, making it easier to remove the base of the frond and leave a bare trunk.

For optimum plant health, fertilize with an all-purpose houseplant food April through October, following label directions. For all other months, fertilize half as often.

A brightly lit spot without direct sunshine is suggested. A small amount of morning or evening sun is not a problem.

A fast draining, high quality potting soil is best. You can do a 50/50 mix of natural potting soil / cactus blend, or mix generous amounts of perlite and vermiculite in to your potting soil.

This plant likes average room temperatures between 65-80 degrees. They do not do well in temperatures below 55 degrees. Cold winter drafts and blowing heaters can damage the leaves.
