Light:
Dracaena Golden Milky needs plenty of diffused sunlight. You need to provide it good light (2-3 hours) when indoors to maintain foliage color. Plants don’t mind low light conditions. Do not keep the plant under direct sunlight in summers.
Water:
Dracaena Golden Milky needs sufficient water supply. Allow the soil to dry slightly between watering. Avoid watering with cold water. Spraying clear water on foliage is beneficial for the plant.
Temperatures:
Dracaena Golden Milky grows best in 20-30 degree Celsius during the day. It can tolerate low temperatures too.
Soil:
Well-drained soil, rich in organic matter. Any good quality pot-o-mix available for houseplants will do.
Feed:
Dracaena Golden Milky likes rich compost mixed with little limestone powder, which promotes color development.
Humidity:
Natural room humidity is fine seeing as the dracaena is such a hardy houseplant, but it does prefer the higher humidity of its natural rainforest habitat. You can improve humidity with a commercial humidifier or by placing the plant on a tray of pebbles, with water reaching just below the pebble tops.
Repotting:
Dracaena has a slow growth rate. It usually takes up to 10 years for the plant to reach maturity. As a result, you only need to repot it once every two years.
Propagation:
The easiest way to propagate Dracaena is through stem cuttings.
- Use a sharp, sterilized blade. The blade should be sharp enough to make a straight, even cut. If the base of the cutting is torn or shredded, it’s likely to attract pathogens, which will result in rot.
- Cut 2 inches (5 cm) below the leaves. If your plant has several stems, you can safely cut all of them. The mother plant will develop dormant buds over the next couple of weeks, which will grow into new stems and leaves.
- Allow the cuttings to dry for an hour, away from direct sunlight.
- To minimize the chance of stem rot while propagating, we recommend rooting Dracaena cuttings in a very well-draining, porous mix. Fill a few containers with perlite or vermiculite, then place each cutting in a container.
- Lightly water the plants, and keep them in a warm room with plenty of bright indirect light.
- The cuttings should take three weeks to develop roots. Then, you can simply transplant them into the soil.
