Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is a common mistake and can lead to root rot. Reduce watering significantly during winter months when the plant is dormant.

Ensure good drainage in the pot to prevent waterlogged roots.

Pruning is generally not required for aesthetic reasons unless removing dead or damaged branches. If pruning is necessary for shaping or size control, do so in spring.

Dracaena draco produces a red resin when cut, resembling dragon's blood.

Propagation is typically done from seed, which can be slow to germinate. Cuttings can also be taken, but they may be difficult to root.

Ensure cuttings are taken from healthy, mature stems and are planted in well-draining soil.

Repot your Canary Island Dragon Tree every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Spring is the ideal time for repotting. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend.

Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one.
