Author Garden: reproducing a dracaena janet craig Ross Garden Helper Member # 8818 posted                       if any one can help i would like to know how to reproduce this plant * * * * ross Plants: 25 | From: woodbridge | Registered: Apr 2006  |  Seeded: 80.42.207.156 Jiffymouse guest posted                 it's not hard. how tall is your's? with a sharp knife, cut about 4-6 inches off the top. strip the bottom 1-2" of leaves from the cutting, and stick it in the soil with the mother plant. water as usual. in a few weeks you will notice that the original plant has 2 or more new growths (baby plants) growing from the top of where you cut off the top. and the cutting will have rooted and have new growth also. at that time, you can pot the cutting up in it's own pot, and wait for the "babies" to get big enough to cut and root again. one note though. you want to leave at least 3-4" of plant above the soil line on the "mother" plant.

They are currently both single stem plants and I would love to encourage multiple stem growth. * * * * We are all under the same stars... therefore we are never far apart.

Can I also do this on a Lemon Lime Dracaena? Thanks! Plants: 118 | From: Mi - Zone 5b/6 | Registered: Jul 2006  |  Seeded: 68.42.233.123 Patty S Garden Pro! Member # 6889 posted                       Jiffy, can this be done in the fall? (My zip code brings up USDA zone 7B, but I think it should be more like 9B.) * * * * Plants: 6255 | From: SW Oregon interior | Registered: Sep 2005  |  Seeded: 207.200.116.7 Triss Garden Pro!
