Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the most common cause of root rot. Water thoroughly when the soil is dry, typically every 2-4 weeks depending on environmental conditions.

Reduce watering significantly in winter.

Pruning is rarely necessary for Dracaena angolensis. Remove any dead or damaged leaves by cutting them at the base with a clean, sharp knife or scissors.

This helps maintain the plant's aesthetic appeal and prevents disease.

Propagation is typically done through division of offsets (pups) that grow at the base of the mother plant. Carefully separate a pup with roots attached and pot it in its own well-draining soil mix.

Alternatively, stem cuttings can be rooted.

Repot your Dracaena angolensis every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound and outgrows its current pot. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one, with drainage holes.

Use a well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix.
