Planting
And Care
Dracaena Mahatma Care
It can be
propagated from tip cuttings taken with three or four leaves attached. Insert
the tip cuttings in 8cm (3inch) pots filled with a moistened rooting mixture
consisting of equal parts peat and sand. Enclose the pots in a plastic bag and
keep them in a temperature of 21-24 degrees C in partially shaded positions.
Alternatively can be used a heated propagator case. No additional water will be
needed for four to six weeks.
After rooting has occurred, remove the pot for plastic bag or propagator and
begin to water the new plant moderately, moistening the potting mixture at each
watering and allowing the top centimeter (0.4 inches) or so of the mixture to
dry out before watering again. When roots appear on the surface of the mixture,
move the young plant into a pot one size larger containing the standard potting
mixture used for adult plants and treat them as mature plant.
