    I have 1 that has been living in water only for 15 years. There are assorted other plants like spider, arrowhead, and numerous others. Love it and it's babies, also growing in water!

    Hey Martin! Great video. Thanks for sharing all your tips. I recently got my first dracaena and was not very sure if I would be able to keep it thriving. I am going to follow your word and hopefully, I will be a successful dracaena owner. I also wanted to add the way you speak is very calm and understandable. Cheers!!!

    I have two pots with a tall and a short one in each. The pot with the biggest plant has several leaves with browning tips. I was over watering them and they were both invested with gnats. I used hydrogen peroxide and water to treat the soil and now I will start misting them regularly. Also was over fertilizing.

    I have one for 15 years and every 5 to 7 years in the winter it gives me beautiful flowers that smell amazing, like nothing I've ever smelled before. Also, the flowers open only at night which is when they smell the most and, unfortunately the flower don't last very long.

  • @farkiemacd
    @farkiemacd Před 3 lety +4

    Thanks, Martin! nice video... I didn't know that Dracaena were good at cleaning the air, but it makes sense. I had heard that about Sanseveria, which are now reclassified as Dracaena, so maybe it's a family trait. I do not have any Dracaena at the moment, but I want to get one once we move... they are so classic and stately.

The plant trunk is a lot bigger, taller and thicker than your baby plant, Drake. it's more like a an adult plant. Help!

  • @ondrejgajdos5512
    @ondrejgajdos5512 Před 2 lety +2

    I am sorry but I don't think that you are right with the watering. I killed my first dracaena because i was watering it just when when the top of the soil dryied. Now I water it when all of the soil is dry all the way through and my draecena is 3 years old and it didn't loose any leaves from the moment i bought it. Now in winter I water it only once in a month. (sorry for my english, I am from Czech Republic)

My only problem has been when new chutes start to grow they end up dying be ause o dont know what to do to nurture them. After about 6 inches of growth they just die off . A new chute has sprouted from the tall plant and i want it to grow nicely the main one.
