About Dracaena Kanzi
The protective resins inside this plant are in Dragon’s Blood, a bright red pigment, varnish, medicine, incense, and dye that has been used across ancient cultures for thousands of years. This plant rarely blooms, but when it does, its flower blooms at night and emits smells that attract night pollinators, like moths. 🦇

How to fertilize Dracaena Kanzi
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Dracaena Kanzi after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

What’s the best potting soil for snake plants? #Dracaena

Is Sansan healthy? I got Sansan 2 months ago. There used to be three groups here, one group expired probably of over watering since the tips turned brown and mushy, the other group turned brown black and crisp. Now, there's only one left, with a baby. I'm worried if I should just transfer the whole thing in water or keep it as is. Currently, I have no access to fertile soil. #Dracaena

Help please... I found weird blotches on my moonshine leaves. What are they? Thank you #Dracaena

Browning leaves. What's going on? #Dracaena I thought it was bruising from the store or something but it's definitely escalated. Should I remove the worst part? Is it something I may be doing or not doing to cause this?

Yellowing and crispy leaves Dracaena leaves have been gradually yellowing for about two months now—not sure what’s causing it. Can anyone identify the problem? I’m considering repotting it into a bigger pot that has a drainage hole but I’m scared of shocking the plant. #Dracaena

What are these yellow spots on my Dracaena? These spots have been here for a couple months; isolated to the underside of just some leaves. The spots seem to be spreading. I re-potted yesterday into a larger pot with fresh soil, plant food, and a larger more robust stake. #HappyPlants #GregGang #Dracaena #NewGrowth

The leaves are all curled. Is that ok? #Dracaena

Kobe, my Snake Plant is not thriving as well as I think he should. I spotted two new leaves but he doesn’t seem to be growing. Any thoughts or suggestions? #helpneeded #Dracaena

Is this the correct plant species? #Dracaena
