Dracaena draco, commonly known as the Dragon Tree, is a subtropical tree native to the Canary Islands, Cape Verde, Madeira, and western Morocco. It is known for its distinctive umbrella-like canopy and thick, scaly trunk. The tree can live for hundreds of years and is often used as an ornamental plant in gardens and homes.
Dracaena draco prefers bright, indirect light and moderate temperatures. It should be watered sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. The plant thrives in moderate humidity and should be kept away from cold drafts.
تربة
The Dragon Tree prefers well-draining loamy soil. A mix of potting soil with sand or perlite works well to ensure proper drainage. Avoid waterlogged conditions as they can lead to root rot.
سماد
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Reduce feeding during the winter months when the plant's growth slows down.
إعادة السمعة
Repot Dracaena draco every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a pot that is one size larger and ensure it has good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, shake off excess soil, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil.
الانتشار
Propagate the Dragon Tree through stem cuttings. Take a cutting from a healthy stem, allow it to dry for a day, and then plant it in a well-draining soil mix. Keep the soil slightly moist and place the cutting in a warm, bright location.

Dracaena draco is toxic to pets, particularly cats and dogs. Ingestion can cause vomiting, drooling, and loss of appetite. Keep the plant out of reach of pets and children.
