Q: Whats the maximum length I can cut a Dragon tree if I want to Re-root it?

How much of the trunk needs to go into the soil?
Do I need to dry the end of the trunk before planting or do I plant it fresh with rooting hormone?

HI Ruth

You can plant a dragon tree cutting. The smallest we typically do is 30cm. You need to let the cutting dry out for a few weeks and then you can plant it .

My potted dragon tree fell over in the wind and the growing tip has snapped off. Will it die? And if is there anything I should do now? Thanks!

The Dragon tree should not die due to falling over. The tip that snapped off should grow back it will take a bit of time as dragon trees do grow very slow. When you stand up the dragon tree make sure you secure the tree so it does not fall over again use a good potting mix and tie the tree down if it’s still unstable in the pot. Do not over water the tree as that’s the quickest way to kill a good dragon tree.
