How to Care for the Plant

Water
If you notice yellow or falling leaves on your Dracaena, this could be due to overwatering. Be sure to discard any excess water that flows into the saucer when watering.
Pruning
The best time for pruning dracaena plants is when the plant is actively growing in spring and summer. If possible, avoid dracaena trimming while the plant is dormant in fall and winter. Be sure your cutting blade is sharp so cuts will be clean and even. Ragged cuts are unsightly and can invite disease. Dip your pruners or knife into a mixture of bleach and water to ensure it is free of disease-causing pathogens. Cut the canes at an angle to reduce the risk of infection. Remove any damaged canes, brown leaves, or weak growth.
Fertilizer
I feed mine once a month during the growing season with a 1/4 diluted complete liquid fertilizer.
