[@JoshuasActions]

Fellow nerd and plant obsessed dude, the world has gifted me this day! 🤘🏻 Great video!

[@aimeelang7585]

Ours is over 8 feet tall. Literally nothing can kill it 😂

[@AmelTres]

omg can you give some tips?! thats amazinggg

[@lukeescobedo723]

So is mine! I got it from my dad who passed in 2020. I didn’t even really water it at first, maybe once every 2 months and i live in southern az. I finally started taking care of it and its growing from all over, its all wirey tho

[@aspirativemusicproduction2135]

I grow Dracena marginata in full sun. Never had any problem with that. But the one Dracena that never got adapted to full sun is the neon green with blue stripe in the middle. It kept burning all summer and never adapted. So Dracena marginata is good for full sun. And the one with the white stripes also do okey in full sun. I just have no idea what's called.

Great video! A tree version of this plant was my very first big houseplant. I had to give it away when we moved out of state several years ago. I found another one a few months ago, for $70 usd, couldn’t believe the price was right and bought it before they realized if it was a mistake, lol! I’ve since seen the time the same place for the same price....

[@michaeljohnhalse]

woooah! glad to know it can pretty huge!

Just got a my first plant and I'm 49. It's never too late to get a green thumb right? But I think these are so pretty. I only paid $10 for a 10 inch plant. It's a little dry. What should I do to save it?

[@Mysteree]

Same!!!! Fingers crossed! 🤞

I just discovered I've had a dracaena for about 4 years 😅 it's trunk is thin and doesn't have multiple branches, just long green to burgundy leaves that hang. I just took off a bunch of leaves from the bottom that were dying at the end. Any other tips? Thanks!

[@TheFakeyCakeMaker]

Thank you Michael. Appreciate the concise and helpful video. 🙂

[@loischelli1549]

[@tamaralittle8532]

Hello everyone and Michael John I have purchased two Dragon plants ficus exotica and how can I care for them .would appreciate your wisdom.I lave two and thank-you for sharing your plant wisdom 🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌

[@MysticTalkBobbyShue]

I have been getting into plants in the past couple of years, I had one question that wasn’t answered in the video. My question is: is it wise to repot them in a bigger pot for growth?

[@anncazares111]

Thanks great video

[@cigarettehush]

My dracaena is more bushy, and doesn't have a trunk per se. Does that mean that it's a young plant?

[@michaeljohnhalse]

Either that, or it was just a close cutting that was rooted. It’ll grow out eventually!

[@embodyingpt]

Your Dracaena has nice, stout stalks with its foliage. I have the problem of leggy Dracaena, with long, slender stalks and small tufts of foliage. Any experience with this issue? I have experimented with lighting, soil, and fertilizer but get similar results.

[@michaeljohnhalse]

normally leggy dracaena’s are a result of not enough light, I do have a Dracaena marginata bicolour with a pretty whimsy stem, but it gets an ample amount of light, I’ve been experimenting with wiggling them whenever I water them. Sort of the same thing you can do with fiddle leaf figs and rubber plants to stimulate wind, which helps them grow a thicker trunk, you could try that and see if you notice a difference!

[@anncazares111]

@@michaeljohnhalse good idea about wiggling

[@ellengriffin8994]

I inherited my plant - it is shedding leaves from the bottom/base. What am I doing wrong?

[@connienicholson9106]

i have one that is pretty tall but the problem is the bottom leaves stay droopy looking .i dont have any leaf drop just droopy looking on bottom

[@karinturkington2455]

Great video. Thanks.

[@allisonreed6391]

I had to cut some leaves of my dragon plant as the leafs were fading

[@AC-oe9fs]

My poor dracaena is losing leaves like crazy =( it was doing wonderfully

[@marcyfraley6531]

[@allisonreed6391]

Nice plant !! Plants are so interesting Also, please consider this because I give it with love ❤❤ The Bible says that no one on this earth is good. Not one person who has ever walked this earth is good (except Jesus). In fact, “If we say we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us” (1 John 1:8 NASB). Therefore we, being bound by the Ten Commandments, have broken them. “You shall not steal”, “You shall not lie”, “You shall not covet”, and “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain” are some commandments to name. We have violated at least one of these, if not most, and consequently, we must face God’s justice: death and hell. How can we be saved from that? There is only one explanation, and that is Jesus Christ. 2,000 years ago, God was merciful enough to send His Son to suffer the wrath of God (the Bible says He became sin for us). Just before He died, He cried out, “It is finished.” That means He paid the fine so we could be free. No longer are we condemned when we trust that what God did on the cross was sufficient for our salvation, nor are there any more charges held against us for our sins. There are two things you must do to be saved: you must repent (that is, confess and forsake your sins and perpetually turn from them), and trust alone in Jesus for your salvation (accept the free gift of eternal life and don’t trust that your own good works can save you from what you’re guilty of). After all, eternal life is a free gift from God and the work has already been done on the cross. All we have to do is believe and trust that He paid the full price for forgiveness of sin so that you and I could be reconciled back to God in heaven. You will then be transformed and be born again with a new heart with new desires so you love that which is righteous. Isn’t that wonderful? Act now, for tomorrow is not guaranteed. You could die tonight or in the next hour, so please, with loving consideration, please turn to God. He is willing nobody should perish but that all should come to repentance. ❤❤
