How to Care for the Plant

Water
Watering Spike should be moderate. Spring-summer 1-2 times a week, autumn-winter - enough 1 time, respectively, a week.
Pruning
Dracaena pruning is carried out by cutting off the top of the plant. This enhances branching and promotes dracaena renewal. You can leave 4-5 leaves on the trunk. To try to get "candles", a plastic bag is put on the cut site to maintain the required humidity. If you're lucky, 3-5 lateral buds will wake up at the cut site in about a month. As the fresh shoots grow, the bag is removed.
Fertilizer
Spike Marginat has no particular preferences in feeding. It is enough in the spring and summer to apply fertilizing with complex fertilizer once every two weeks, and once a month in the cool season.
