- Avoid overwatering, as the plant is sensitive to wet soil and may develop root rot.
- Leaves may curl or droop if the plant is overwatered.
- Yellow leaves may be caused by underwatering, nutrient deficiencies, or pests.
-
Light
Dragon’s tongue plants can tolerate low light, but they grow best in brighter conditions. They prefer filtered light, and too much direct sunlight can burn the leaves. If you want to use a grow light, a full-spectrum LED light is ideal.
-
Watering
Water the plant when the top inch of soil is dry. Dragon’s tongue plants prefer moist soil, but they don’t do well in extended dry spells.
-
Fertilizing
Fertilize the plant in the spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer. You can stop fertilizing during the fall and winter when the plant is dormant.
-
Pruning
You usually only need to prune the plant to remove any leaves that are yellow or brown.
-
Repotting
Repot the plant once a year or when it doubles in size.
-
Humidity
Dragon’s tongue plants thrive in high humidity environments, like terrariums or paludariums.
-
Propagation
You can propagate a dragon’s tongue plant by cutting off a tip and placing it in water. Roots will eventually grow from the bottom, and you can then plant the cutting in compost.
