green dragon

Water Green Dragon plants once a week, using about 1 inch of water. Make sure soil is evenly moist and water at the base of the plant. Water in the morning so the foliage has time to dry before nightfall, as wet foliage encourages diseases. For best results, water with lukewarm water. During the growing season, it’s also useful to mist the plant’s leaves from time to time.

Green dragon plants thrive best in bright, indirect sunlight. That means placing the plant near a window where it can receive several hours of bright, diffused sunlight a day. It's better to give the plant some shade during the midday hours when the sun is at its most intense. When providing the right amount of light, green dragon should be given around 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight, with the rest of the day providing dappled or indirect sunlight.

Green Dragon plants should be pruned in late spring, just after the plants have finished flowering. Pruning should be focused around shaping the plant. Remove any dead, diseased and weak stems to give the plant an overall cleaner and healthier appearance. Next, cut back the long stems to within 2-3 sets of leaves from the top of the plant. This will help to maintain the shape and reduce the size of the plant. Finally, cut back any long stems that are growing out of the sides to help to encourage new growth and make the entire plant look neat and tidy.
