Dracaena marginata propagation (dragon tree)

Cut off any of the branches
➡️Remove some of the lower leaves, so there are empty nodes that can grow roots
➡️Put the cutting in water
➡️Place next to a window, in bright indirect light
➡️Replace water weekly
➡️Once the roots get 1-2 inches long, you can pot in soil

I could have cut off a whole cane and propagated it, but I would've gotten only one plant. By cutting off branches from a single cane, I can get multiple plants from a single plant. There are also other ways to propagate a dracaena, but that will be the topic of another video :)

The other cutting I placed in soil. You can propagate any plant in soil or water, it doesn't make a lot of difference. You should do what you are more comfortable with. Try one approach, then the other, and see what works for you.

It took about 1.5-2 months to start seeing any roots on the dracaena in water.
