Pour the dragon tree properly
Basically, the evergreen dragon tree is rather uncomplicated in its care, which makes it an extremely popular houseplant in all its different species. Nevertheless, even this plant can quickly hang the leaves, if certain care and site conditions are not met.
A constant supply of moisture is a must with the dragon tree
The dragon tree originally comes from tropical and subtropical regions and is therefore not only used to the temperature at year-round relatively constant conditions. Also, the water supply should be constant in the dragon tree, so that the roots of the plant never completely dry out. However, as dragon trees are also very sensitive to waterlogging, the soil in the pot should never be wet. You can easily fingerprint the dragon tree and pour moderately with a little water as soon as the soil in the pot on the surface feels pronounced crumbly and dry. For a healthy growth you should pay attention not only to the correct fertilization on suitable, not to be compacted plant substrate in the pot. You can mix this yourself from the following materials:
The fine difference between wet and wet
Although the soil should be as moist as possible for a dragon tree, it must not be so wet that it causes root rot or other serious diseases that sometimes cause the dragon tree to sink. To be able to meet exactly the right care conditions without constant checking, dragon trees are often preferred in hydroponic cultivation. In any case, only lime-poor water should be used for casting, so that the dragon tree with its roots can flourish permanently in a slightly acid soil environment.
By spraying with water provide tropical or subtropical humidity
The water requirement of each plant depends not least on its location and the respective weather conditions on site. So if your dragon tree is not in a difficult location near the heating or in a sun-heated place on the balcony, you only have to water it once every few days. Ideal growth conditions can be achieved by occasionally sprinkling the dragon tree with some rainwater from the spray bottle.
Tips
It is relatively rare to see a dragon tree cultivated as a houseplant flower. According to the theory of experienced dragon tree specialists, it should be conducive to a flowering of the dragon tree, if this lives through a time-limited dry phase.
