How to deal with the fragrant dragon blood tree after it blooms and how to prune it after it blooms

Treatment after flowering of Dracaena fragrans

It takes a long time to care for the Dracaena before it can bloom, but it does not require special treatment when it blooms. Just take good care of it and appreciate its flowers. After it blooms, you can cut off the long flower petals to reduce nutrient consumption, which will be beneficial to its later growth.

In addition, the Dracaena fragrans itself is not easy to bloom. Since it consumes a lot of nutrients during the flowering period, it is necessary to apply fertilizer in time after the flowering is over, and it also needs appropriate watering to promote its subsequent growth.

How to grow Dracaena fragrans

The flowering period of Dracaena is generally between January and February. It blooms once a year. Its flowering period is not very long, only about 20-30 days. However, this is also closely related to the breeding environment. Sometimes it will not bloom until March or April.

1. Watering in moderation: When caring for the Dracaena fragrans, you must water it frequently to ensure sufficient water. Generally, it should be watered every two or three days in spring, summer and autumn. When the climate is dry, you should also spray water on the leaves to maintain humidity.

2. Suitable light: Dracaena fragrans has a certain tolerance to shade, but if you want it to bloom as soon as possible, it still needs suitable light. It can be exposed to scattered light at ordinary times. When the light is strong in summer, it is necessary to provide shade in time and not expose it to direct sunlight.
