How to propagate Dracaena Sander correctly

The bamboo of happiness reproduces only in a vegetative way. There are no big problems when getting new plants. It is not difficult to choose the right substrate for planting. It consists of turf, leafy soil and sand in a 1: 2: 1 ratio. The acidity of the soil should be at the level of 5-6 units. At home, Dracaena Sander reproduces:

• by dividing the stem;
• by rooting the shoot in a horizontal position;
• cuttings and upper shoots.

The division of the stem into parts occurs only with a sharp knife, as evenly as possible. The rods are placed in a container with softened water. The upper sections are closed with wax, but not hot, so as not to burn the living tissue. In this state, roots will first appear at the roots, and then the buds will wake up in the upper part, not far from the cut. The plant can now be transplanted to a permanent location.

If it is a vessel with water, the requirements for feeding and changing the liquid with washing the vessel and pebbles are met. If Sander's dracaena is planted in the ground, you should choose a suitable pot and follow the rules of maintenance.

An interesting way is rooting in a horizontal position. In this case, half of the cut is covered with wax on both sides. The roots of the rod will give in a flat plate so that the bottom is in the water. Then the rooted stem with sprouted buds is transplanted into the ground, getting a plant with a common root and several trunks.

It is easy to propagate Dracena Sander by cuttings and shoots. The top of the shoot or side cuttings are cut off. They can take root in water or in the ground. The main thing is that after the operation, you need to wax the open sections on the mother plant. Under a plastic wrap or jar, the plant will sprout in 4-6 weeks.

Dilute the bamboo of happiness at home, it will attract good luck and prosperity to the family.
