How to propagate dracaena reflexa - The video is self explanatory, with the exception of plastic bags.⠀ ⠀ Why plastic bags? To keep the humidity high. This reduces evaporation (water loss) from the leaves, which reduces chances of wilting, chances of the cuttings dying and helps with rooting.⠀ ⠀ If you're struggling with this plant, the care is actually super easy. Provide it with bright light, it can tolerate a few hours of direct sun. It's a variegated plant, so needs a bit more light than non-variegated plants.⠀ ⠀ It's like a succulent in terms of watering. One overwatering can kill it. In that sense, it's not as tolerant as some other dracaenas, that can handle overwatering for several weeks, drop a few leaves...give you a chance to correct the care. One overwatering is sufficient to kill it. I've done it twice and some of my friends several times, until we learned☺️⠀ ⠀ I suggest waiting until the leaves become droopy, then water. Next time water just before it goes droopy.⠀ ⠀ Once you figure the care, it's a gorgeous plant that will reward you with a bit of color in your jungle.⠀ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PRODUCT THAT I USE AND LOVE THAT CAN SPEED UP PROPAGATION (affiliate links): ➡️ https://www.mrhouseplant.com/recommends/heat-mat-yt/ - Heat mat (place underneath the propagation vessel to warm it up, can cut propagation time in half) ➡️ https://www.mrhouseplant.com/recommends/air-pump-yt/ - an air pump provides a constant inflow of oxygen which speeds up propagation.

Did you know you can produce multiple plants from a single cutting? All you need to do is the following. After a cutting has produced a new baby and the baby has reached a sufficient size to be able to survive on its own, pull it off and pot it. Return the cutting to water or soil - whatever you were using for propagation. The cutting will continue producing new babies.⠀ ⠀ If you're lucky, you can do several cycles of reusing a cutting.⠀ ⠀ Pretty cool, huh? 🙂⠀ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PRODUCT THAT I USE AND LOVE THAT CAN SPEED UP PROPAGATION (affiliate links): ➡️ https://www.mrhouseplant.com/recommends/heat-mat-yt/ - Heat mat (place underneath the propagation vessel to warm it up, can cut propagation time in half) ➡️ https://www.mrhouseplant.com/recommends/air-pump-yt/ - an air pump provides a constant inflow of oxygen which speeds up propagation.
