This is the most informative video I have ever found on dracaena care. So much information out there is either conflicting or just too generic in nature. This channel is the best!
Thank you for your video! I love that you put in the time to label the timestamps in the video. My first dracaena died a vicious death from root rot through the stems. It was a sad loss. I now have a lemon lime dracaena that I'm rehabilitating from a local store. This video was perfect for me to review what to do and what not to do. So glad I found you guys!
I wish I'd found this video 3 months ago, I'm now trying to rescue my plant that's got root rot, I'm in two minds as to chop it and propagate it or leave it, it's still just about living
I just love watching your videos. Gives me knowledge on taking care of my plants,your detailed instructions and advice for the plant care seems like im attending a class. I finish watching till the end. ❤️
Thank you so much for this video! As a relatively new plant parent, I found each tip useful not just for Dracaenas, but all plants in general! I got a Dracaena reflexa in a flower arrangement and I stuck it into soil ( yup, newbie 😀) about 2 months ago. The rooting has been extremely slow - now I know better what to do the next time! Thanks again and love from India!
mycket tips, jag försöker rädda plantorna på jobbet och försöker ta till mig så mycket information som möjligt :D Har precis kapat av toppen på en av dom som jag ska försöka få rötter på nu!
Wow, this video was AMAZING. Many years ago I had a dracaena in a pot with a cluster of other plants, it was about hand height. One day I thought I would "help" these houseplants and put it in a mini greenhouse outside on my porch in the summer. I was so ignorant back then, haha. I came back to find I cooked all the houseplants and the dracaena had faded, as you said. I was so close to throwing it out with all the other cooked plants but something held me back. It's gone through a lot of abuse. Cycles of over watering, underwatering, low light, never washing off the dust. It is now 32" high and it threw out a baby. It's starting to flop over dramatically. I have to stake it and lean it against the wall. This is why I finally looked up videos on how to care for dracaena. I think it might have gotten over watered the last time it was watered. How can I help it? If I prune it will it help the floppyness?
Just bought my first dracaena / Mass Cane on clearance at COSTCO here in Canada. I have trimmed a few brown tips with clean, sharp scissors as you instruct and I’ve inspected for bugs. Phew! None I can see. This video is a priceless find on UA-cam. Much gratitude.
Wonderful video. I love draceanas. Beautiful, stately plant. Thank you so much for the much needed info. Now, I can start propagating, thanks to you. 🙏🏼
Thank you so much for this video and God bless you. I have a dragon tree. I’ve had it since 2007. My aunt gave it to me from my daddy‘s funeral. It was just a small pot plant.🪴 I named this plant Lazarus because it has died so many times and it keeps coming back to life. Example my son accidentally broke one of the branches off moving him inside during the freeze and it’s growing new limbs. It just amazes me this plant is indestructible. He’s way over 6 feet tall and I have transplanted him throughout the years at least four or five times. I have to keep my plant outside because I have cats and I know it’s toxic. I haven’t watched all your video. I’m going to do that right now, but he’s just not looking so healthy anymore and his limbs are so thin last night. I had to bring him in because we had a bad storm. I need to transplant him desperately again and get him some fresh soil, but I do think all these years I have been overwatering him and I didn’t know but anyhow I’m gonna get back to your video and maybe I’ll learn something. I don’t know if I need to trim him back. I just don’t know but I’m trying this plant means a lot to me because it was given to me by my aunt for my daddy❤
Hello, great info and so much variety, who knew! i have a Dracaena white stripe that is 35 years old! i keep it a manageable size! I just cut where I have chosen and stick straight back in the soil, have done so about 4x and she always comes back!
Hi! I love your videos, they are so helpful! Thanks a lot! I’d love to see a video about artificial/growing lights for the indoor plants, for example palm trees in the winter. I have to move mine from balcony to inside before winter comes.
I love your content it is the best in this particular Subject I feel that I sat down in a Horticulture Class. Thank you so much for the Gems.Looking forward for many more .I will allocate. my Sunday afternoon to learn more.
Hi and thanks for all those precious details. We have had a dracanea marginata for years and watching your video I realized that yours has all its leaves pointing up. And ours are pointing down excepts for the new ones. We live in a much warmer area, in the Canary Islands where temperatures are warm all year round. Any advice on the topic would be much appreciated. If it is explained in your video please indicate the number, 🙏🌱 Once again, thank you as you make us feel like students and it rocks to learn so much about plants. 🙏🌱🤩
You have a Dracaena marginata 'tarzan'. It's one of the four varieties of D. marginata and being less common, harder to find. As the leaves age they go from upright to pointing outwards to pointing down. Then they dry up and fall off but not until new upward leaves have formed at the top of the stalk. I've had a tall one and a short one for 24+ years... they're easy to care for and unique in appearance!
I dont bring mine in from outside till temps are around 40-45°. They are in a protected corner but North facing area of deck under the house overhang. They catch morning & late sun and turn red starting at tips & moving inward. The red fades thru winter. They have an adjustment period when first put outdoors with some direct sun but they recover beautifully. One is 30 yrs old. Love their hardiness.
Extremely thankful for this video! I've learned basically everything I need to keep my dracaenas happy, but so much more. Thank you!! I've found my go to channel to get knowledgeable 💖
I love your videos so much! I'm very new to taking care of houseplants, and only have a small handful of plants that I'm caring for. One of the plants that I would need some advice for would be the spider plant (chlorophytum comosum). I noticed that you currently don't have a video for this particular one. I'm wondering if it would possible for you and your team to me a video on how to care for this plant please? My spider plant is surviving, but I think I could be doing much more to take care of it, but not sure how. I absolutely trust your advice on caring for our green growing friends, and I look forward to your video on caring for the spider plant. 💚 Regards from Canada!
Thanks to you, I was able to add the White Jewel to my jungle. I had seen this plant, but only small ones that resembled a spider plant, so I didn't realize it was a Draceana. After some sleuthing, I found one at Tokamanni in perfect condition. The cart of plants had just arrived and there was six to choose from. After putting it in a separate room for a week (quarantine), it was still perfectly healthy. Now, it's growing beautifully and it looks so cute & compact next to my big Dracaena Marginata, which was the first plant in the jungle. All your videos are great! Keep up the good work!!!
I just bought two small ones, a Janet Craig Compacta and a Warneckii. I didn't know snake plants are also known as Dracaena, I have that plant also. This video came just in time. 😊
Very informative and detailed video, thank you so much! I got 4 dracaenas (compacta, janet craig, kanzi and marginata), now I can take a better care of them 💚
Ô my God, it's a complete class, complete guidance. I have just bought that narrow leaved variety and am learning a lot about that from your video. Thank you!
Here in Perth , west Australia, these are hardy outdoors plants. I have several varieties, some over 40 years old, and over 2 metres tall. They are lovely, easy to grow and look after plants. I love your videos. Thanks.
Helt underbart med all denna information precis vad jag behöver för mina dracena. Hade tänk ge upp dracenasläktet men nu ska jag möblera om och ge mina dracena en egen plats. Ska också lyssna en fjärde gång på all denna information. Tack för hjälpen😊🙏🙏🙏❣
I like your videos so much it's very helpful and you cover all the point buying to fertilizer I also want to see how to revive dressena if it has best infected
Thank you for solving my problem! I have often pruned my dracaenas and propagated them but never got more than one new stem on each branch, so they don;t get fuller. Now I will try while they are actively growing. So helpful!
New subscriber here from Houston, Texas. I am LOVING your videos. They're so much more detailed than most others I've seen. Thank you so much for all your hard work in producing this great content. Looking forward to more.
Uh oh. We are definitely below 60F at night where I am…I have a marginata still outside. It is up close to the house and under a deep eave, and it looks fine…but I guess it’s time to bring it in. The ones I have indoors, I have them in low light conditions. What I like about dracaena is that it will survive in low light, but you are right that it won’t do much as far as growth goes.
Great video very informative. Have just acquired a Dracaena Marginata and needed some help, your video has given me all that I needed not to kill it thank you! Also found out that a plant I have had for about a year is a Dracaena compacta. 👍.
Thank you so much for these videos! Really enlightening. I have a question: my corn plant seems to be dying. I have just one thick stem and it seems to be going soft and becoming black inside. Please advise. Can I still save it?
So informative, as usual - I always take notes! Please tell me what is the name of the gentleman doing the videos? He never announces himself. I am anxious now to take a more intelligent look at my Dracenas! Thank you - from USA - New Jersey.
Great videos. Every time i watch you videos, i put pause and run around my apartment changing plants around and inspect them. I do have some questions. I had cream coloured variegation on my on my dracaena dragonfly, not it’s light lime green variation.If I put my plant in better lighting, will it turn back to its original variegated colour? Also, the watering of this tiny plant. Thank you.
Thank you. I have a lemon lime and when I bought it she had a few brown spots on the leaves. I've cut most away but wondering if the others will grow out? She's doing well and growing. I just wonder about those few spots!
Hello! Thanks for so much thorough information! Same here. I am asking a question though that I can't find the information. Stem. How do I promote a larger stem? I have one Drac Ling and is about to reach 7 feet. It has 1 stem in soil and 4 branched out. Giving it 7' tall of 4 stems out of 1! They are too skinny and this makes impossible to move the plant (I take it outside for rain showers). In the meantime that I find how to grow it's stem larger diameter, I added three helping sticks to guide it straight and prevent stem to fall down. Thanks for any insights on this. ;)
This is the most informative video I have ever found on dracaena care. So much information out there is either conflicting or just too generic in nature. This channel is the best!
This has been the most helpful video on this type of plant! I scoured the interwebs and this is the best!
Well, now I know what I'm doing wrong! Thankyou so much for your informative and detailed videos!🌱🌵🤓💚
