- Dracaenas are beautiful architectural plants, native to western and tropical Africa. Plants produce bold rosettes of strap-like leaves at the tip of each shoot, as older leaves gradually fade and fall to leave bare stems at the base. Dracaenas rarely branch out, so cuttings of various heights are usually planted together for a bushier effect.
Each section of stem has the ability to develop roots from its base, while new shoots will emerge through the tip and sides
One of the easiest way to propagate your Dracaena plant involves simply cutting off the top.
Snip it just below the leaf line and be sure to include at least one node: roots grow from these round, white bumps on the stem.
Then, either plant your cutting in some soil or place it in a nice vase filled with fresh water. I prefer the latter method, as it allows me to see how the cutting is doing and whether it has rooted yet.
Place the container in a warmish spot and wait!
Roots and new growth should appear pretty quickly during the warm Summer months, while things can take a little longer during Wintertime.
If you’re water-propagating, try moving the cutting to soil once the roots are about 1 inch/2.5 cm. Or don’t; the plant won’t mind and fresh green leaves look great in a pretty vase. I especially like the look of multiple thin-necked vases such as these filled with plant cuttings.
If you’re worried removing the top of your Dracaena will result in a sad, headless plant, don’t worry. One or multiple nodes close to the top of the original should start sprouting new leaves soon. It will be back to looking its best in no time.

So informative, thanks! This is such a beautiful plant! Those roots are amazing. Happily subscribing, happy to find new plant friends!
Many thanks for watching 😊
So informative. I will give it a try.. I am trying to propagate the corn plant for my son and daughter in law. I do propane various types of plants but have never done Corn plant. Thanks for the information. Happy to find new plant friends!
Nirmal Seth good luck!
Love the idea of two props falling in love while inside the same container. Thank you so much!
Light is inhibitory for roots (direct or indirect, even fluorescent). Your experiment proves this. Roots do better in a shaded or darker bottle than clear bottle. The leaves need the light, but the roots need the dark. Great video on propagation.
Thanks from Maryland, USA. You video is so pleasant to watch. I now have confidence to try propagating my two spindly, sad dracenas.
Thank you! My dracena was slowly dying and I propogated it in hopes of saving it but I couldn't find a video anywhere that helped with what I needed.
Same! I propagated as a last ditch effort to save it after my cat ripped it out of the soil 😅😩. It rooted incredibly but I don’t want to mess up
@@thesoundsofearth4454 hiya, did you use a clear vase for the propagation or a non transparent one? Thanks!
i have never propagated but I will. I just keep moving mine to bigger pots. However I have had them seed in pots. When they get root bound the plant will create the best smelling flower . It only blooms at night and has the best smell that will make your whole house smell wonderful.
I was really hesitant to attempt to propagate my dracaena but your video gave me confidence. You’re really knowledgeable and I like how you did the different experiments and shared the results. And you seem like a super nice person. Thank you!
Thanks so much love the video! Your plants look beautiful and happy! I just got a huge draecena cutting today and this was very helpful!
Awesome stuff. I love the way you explain everything. Just got into keeping and looking after houseplants. Never knew what went into it. 🤦♂️. I’m learning. Wishing everyone the best. ❤️
Masha Allah.. Nice share 👍
I have a corn plant and it’s gotten so big! I’ve been wanting to propagate and now I have the confidence to do it. Thank you!!!
So informative and well explained! Thank you so much
Thank you for this very helpful and comprehensive video! My dracaena had root rot and I've just propagated a small stem in hopes of saving it.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thank you!
Your video is beautiful and so are you. Thank-you from Canada. :)
Love the follow up results!!! Great video
Thank you for taking the time to show and explain this
I love that you said the roots fall in love together haha. Thats cute
Thank you so much! This video is perfect for my dracaena situation today! I m very happy i encountered your content! Thx
Super helpful, thank you!! Your plants are beautiful
Thank you for the Arabic translation!
I was surprised and happy to know you live in Saudia. I'm from Saudia and it is hard for me to maintain my plants. Thank you so much for the video. I'll keep coming to your channel for advice!
Thank you very much for this video. Definitely will be coming back to it and your channel again. ❤️🪴
You are amazing! Such a joyful video!
All plants look so beautiful !
You do the best video tutorial on these plants. I live in Florida and they grow everywhere here. Now I can propigate some to add to my new garden. Thank you. I also love how you imagine they are falling in love. I am a stickler for planting 2 or more of every plant, flower, tree or bush. Do not want them lonely.💞😉
Yes, I loved that advice. I never knew. Glad you've been practicing such planting thoughtfulness. I've got 6 single bushes regularly spaced out along the exterior of my garden wall. They will all get companion potted flowering plants in their shadows this week!
My mother is from Kerala! And I love my dracaena!! Thank you for this beautiful, helpful video!!
Thanks so much for the video, I agree with that dracaena are one of the most beutiful house plant.
Awesome way to propagate. You explained very well easy to connect.
Hello, thank you so much for this informative video. I have a Dracaena Massangeana (bought 2 years ago in ikea 🙂). I really love it but since 2 months, all the leaves turned brown. I didn't believe it was worth trying, but now I will definitely try to cut and propagate some sprouts from the main cane. Then maybe the main cane will produce new sprouts next spring. When there's green, there's always life 🙂
Very informative information on prpergation of draconian plants I love your sense of humour well done video
So beautiful and informative video. Thank you for creating this video and sharing.
Hello. Thank you for this video.i have a big dracaena. Now I can propagate 🙏
Very detailed video! I love it! best propagation video
Wow, this video was so helpful!! Thank you so much!😊
By the way, your plants are so beautiful 🤩
Legit thank you, you also gave me the confidence to give it a try. Our mother plant for us is 12 years old
Awesome! Thank you! Exactly what I needed to know ❤
Very informative , thanks.
Thank you for specifying right at the beginning that this method will work with all plants in the family! I'm not sure what type of cutting I have and you just saved me a bit of extra research!
It made me feel so happy when you said the roots from the two shoots in the nontransparent vase might have fallen in love lol
Thx for arabic translate. So useful info💜💜🇸🇦
Thank you for such informative content!
that was very very informative thank you very much. I will try it now
Thank you for the information! Great video.
Just what I wanted to know thank u!!
Both your Dracaena are beautiful... Now am going to get these two varieties as well...
I love your energy
Thank you, great video, now I will attempt to tackle propogating my corn plant which has got a bit out of control. You are very sweet.
Very informative, thank you.
Very helpful. Thank you!

Thank you 🕊🕊🕊🥀🌻
Hi I really enjoyed your video, it was very informative!
I have a dumb cane and the leaves started coming out brown so it was not really growing. I then noticed that the cane itself is soft and hollow feeling, the other cane that’s in the same pot is hard all the way through.
I believe the soft cane in dead, so what should I do? Should I remove it? I think I was watering at the base of the plant causing root rout. You’re advise will be great full, I really don’t want to loose the plant.
thanks a lot
I. planted stem cuttings then. it has 2-3 shoots. and been wondering whether I. will. plant. the. entire. shoots.. now I know what. to. do. from the stem. I. will remove the shoots then plant it separately on. soil or in water to produce roots right?
Thank you so much for this video! I have two corn plants that need this treatment. One is about 5 ft tall! I have always been too afraid to do anything to it since I've had them for 20 years and I didn't want them to die. I'm putting the first cut in the water now. Wish me luck 🤞
How is your plant? I'm about to cut mine after 20 yrs 😬
Very nice video
Can Janet Craig shoot ( without roots) be planted directly in the soil? I did that with Dracena magenta and is doing very well.. pls suggest
Thank you so much for sharing this information. I've got a 4 year old Dracaena that grew beautifully it's first year, but hasn't grown at all the last 3. The first year I kept it in a 6' × 4' east facing window of my living room. That window looks out onto a broad covered porch so the dracaena received no direct sunlight something which I imagined would benefit the tropical plant. So I moved it into a south facing farmhouse (half French single) door that opens onto an uncovered patio. So now the plant sits in front of the in-swinging door - which I stained dark cherry & added shiny brass hardware to. The dracaena makes a beautiful focal piece there inside the all glass storm door but now I understand why it hasn't grown and its leaves curl inwards. It's overheating, sunburnt, & overdosing on salt & who knows what else from the tap water & random fertilizer treatments I've been poisoning it with unwittingly. Thanks again for the information. (I think you saved my dracenia's life.)
Super
what did u do with mother draceana ? did u block the nod with candle wax or no ? plz guide us
As dracaenas gostam de água mineral. Não gostam da água da torneira porque tem cloro e ferro e isso queima as folhas. Excelente video. Abraço desde Portugal
New Subscriber 😁🌱.
Thank you so much for this! I love my big dracaena plants, but learning how to take care of them properly has taken time. My second big corn plant is currently failing-its stems are shriveling, which suggests it's no longer able to move water up to the leaves. I think that's from watering it too much in the wintertime :(. I have time to propagate it from its gorgeous top leaves, though!
If you repot in new, dry soil and refrain from watering….it’ll recover.
Thank u!
Thank you for the information. Can i keep the Dracaenas in water in a pretty bottle as decoration? Or do i need to plant it in soil?
Thank you for the great tips!
When propagating, do you wait for the cut end to dry out before putting in water or soil?
So are the bottoms of your cuttings diagonal? or does it even matter? I've had Dracaenas forever (corn plants, marginata and snake plants... didn't know snake plants were part of the family) and the only one I've ever propagated was snake plants because they are just too easy. Looking forward to seeing how mine turn out, thanks for the video
Does it grow better in water or dirt ? Thanks for teaching me something new!
Hi can you tell me if a cane will grow new shoots if it doesn’t have any? I bought a large plant with three trunks one trunk had no shoots so I’d like to get it to grow some. There’s healthy roots and it’s a healthy trunk otherwise. Please let me know if you have had any experience please.
thx for sharing this helpful video. ...many brown spots on leaves appear and don't know what to do ..plz, any tips
It could be due to lack of potassium,pls fertilize
How often do you change water? Do you add any supplement to the water?
I'm a new subscriber and loving your videos already. If, after 18 days there is no root growth in water, what is best to change? It is in water in a small plastic bottle. I will now use filtered water instead of tap water. I'm in London so I'm trying to keep it warm inside! I really want it to survive!! Thanks
Ok one of the shoots turned black on top, but yes still has the top with some green leaves, some are turning yellow... why is the shoot black???
You have beautiful draceana. How do make their leaves so shiny?
If I only have one lare leafy top, do I cut the entire top or do I cut just the top portion to propagate? The entire plant is just too tall.
Hi, guest i am from Indonesia, i have many many this Dracaena Fragrans, in my vilage SUKABUMI this plant used as land border or fans (it is very easy to grow and very cheap) how to export to your country?
Is it possible that the blocking of direct light helped the roots to grow? Roots do usually grow in the dirt, where it is dark. Idk if this is a stupid guess lol
Shukriya!!
I love this, I will try to propagate to save my plant. I have a dracaena as a gift from a very dear person and it seems to be dying slowly. The leaves are turning brown. I live in Dubai maybe the water is similar to Saudi. I will stop using tap water now. Would it be good to repot the plant and change the soil?
Sometimes it's usually because there is too much water
As drabmaker said,dracarna doesnt need to much water and falling leaves are usually due to that
👍👍
My large dracaena mass cane fell off my table because it started to lean the last couple days and I didn't tend to it. It basically fell head first and it broke the biggest shoot of beautiful leaves almost completly off. Kind of like when you try and rip a branch off a tree but it's barely stuck on the bark and a little more, but you can't rip it off its too strong. I cut it off and I put it into seeding soil with honey as a hormone for the cutting. It I see the plant start to do poorly in the next few days then I will remove it from the seed starting soil and put in water until strong roots develop
how. many weeks before I cut it from the cane to. put it in soil. or water? thank you very. much!
