How to prune dracaena draco

Spring; dead leaf removal any time. Gently pull dead leaves downward along the trunk until they release. For damaged branches, cut cleanly at the branch collar with sterilized pruners. Do not prune living healthy rosettes — branching only occurs naturally after flowering.

Rarely; cosmetic tidying as needed. Dragon tree needs very little pruning indoors. Remove dead or brown leaves by pulling them downward from the trunk — they detach naturally. Avoid cutting into the rosette unless a branch is damaged. Outdoors in frost-free climates, dead rosettes can be removed after the plant has branched naturally.
