Although the growth of Dracaena Dracaena is slow, it doesn't mean that it hasn't changed in a year. The tall branches are thin, soft and weak, not as strong as they were when they were young.
In spring, you can top it, cut off the main stem and let it sprout new branches.
The tools for topping and trimming must be sharp, so that the wound will be smooth and smooth, and the incision will heal faster.
When pruning, leaves can be left or not. Dracaena has strong vitality and won't be easily taken by dogs. The cut top can also be used for cutting. The survival rate is very high.
Generally two weeks later, you can see a circle of new buds around the wound. If you want to leave a few, you can choose to leave robust buds, and other erasures can be done.
Artificial top branching is a common method of dragon blood tree breeding, but if it is not top branching, it can also split naturally.
But relying on the natural branches of Dracaena, the plant type is not as beautiful as artificial topping, the branches are not uniform, the time and position of branches are uncertain, and after branching, the growth of Dracaena, which has been growing slowly, is even worse, and the formation is also slow.
This is one of the reasons why we want to see how the dragon blood tree can be divided artificially.
Although the dragon blood tree grows slowly, it has the advantage of top tip, which means that it grows fastest and best at the top and has no chance to appear below, just like the relationship between Queen Elizabeth and Prince William and other princes in England. Although the Royal competition should be gentle and peaceful, the growth of dragon blood tree can not help but bring a little violence.
Pinch off the top growth point, give the plant the opportunity to germinate new branches, but also give the plant a chance to shape, the best of both worlds.
