How to Propagate a Dragon Tree
- Chop up the plant's sections – the stems.
- Position each section's base in a water vase and make it stand fairly upright.
- Look for white nodules at the stem's base. These nodules would grow into long roots.
- Pot the stem sections with strong roots in individual containers.
Can you root a Dracena in water?
Dracaena marginata cuttings are very easy to propagate in water. The long stems, which are called canes, reach and twist towards the light. Their normal growth habit is for the canes to become very long over time. As this happens, they shed the lower leaves which turn yellow then brown and fall off.
Will Dragon Trees grow from cuttings?
Dragon Trees can be propagated by seed or cutting. Semi-hardwood cuttings and leafless stem sections can be rooted in spring.
