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.
