Here are some tips for caring for a dragon’s tongue plant:
  • 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. 
Here are some tips for caring for a dragon’s tongue plant:
  • 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. 

Dragon’s tongue plants are native to Asia and Madagascar, and they can add a touch of nature to any decor style. However, they are not safe for pets and are not intended for human consumption.
