Dracaena unbent is one of the plants of the family called Dracaenaceae, in Latin the name of this plant is as follows: Dracaenaceae. As for the name of the plant itself, then in Latin it will be like this: Dracaena reflexa.

Features of growing and leaving dracaena unbent

Dracaena unbent prefers a solar light regime, however, at the same time, partial shade, as well as shadow, is quite acceptable. Throughout the summer period, the plant should be provided with a fairly abundant watering, and the air humidity should be kept at a very high level. The life form of the dracaena reclined is an evergreen tree.

The plant is recommended to grow in warm conservatories, as well as in greenhouses, where high illumination is provided, as well as increased parameters of both temperature and moisture. It is worth noting that the unfolded dracaena is the most capricious plant among all the dracaena, for this reason it is very difficult to grow the plant in indoor conditions. In the culture of dracaena, unfolded can reach the following maximum sizes: from one to five meters in height.

It should be noted that the root system of this plant is quite powerful, and its development is very rapid. For this reason, you should choose not very wide, but high pots. When transplanting, it is required to make the substrate heavier, and the earthen lump must be preserved. When transplanting a bent dracaena, it is important to increase the proportion of sod land or reduce the proportion of sand. Young plants will need a transplant every two to three years, while adult plants need a transplant much less often, and especially large specimens should practically not be transplanted. However, for very large dracaena unfolded, it will be necessary to renew the top layer of the substrate by about ten to fifteen centimeters every year.

For a favorable cultivation of this plant, you should take one part of sand, two parts of sod land and three parts of leafy land. The acidity of such soil should be slightly acidic.

As for growing problems, the edges of the leaves of this plant can change color to brown, and the leaves themselves can turn yellow and fall off. Such unpleasant consequences can occur due to the fact that the air humidity will be below sixty percent, and the soil will be dry or waterlogged for a long time. Brown spots may appear on the leaves, which will be caused by both watering and spraying with very hard water. Spraying the plant is recommended in order to remove dust from the dracaena folded back. In the event that the air temperature drops below fifteen degrees, the edges of the folded dracaena leaves may slightly bend back. It is important to take into account that the trunk of the plant is extremely unstable, for this reason it will be necessary to provide the plant with support. Provided that dracaena is grown in a greenhouse or in a winter garden, the plant can even reach more than ten meters in height. It is noteworthy that the plant can sometimes be damaged by a spider mite, a worm, or even a scale insect.

Throughout the entire dormant period, it will be necessary to provide the plant with a temperature regime of eighteen to twenty-two degrees. Watering and humidity should be moderate. Provided that the dracaena is found unbent in room conditions, the dormant period will be forced and will last from October to February. Such a dormant period occurs due to low illumination, as well as due to low air humidity.

Reproduction of dracaena unbent can occur with the help of stem segments, air layers, and also by means of apical cuttings.
