How to prune dracaena 'janet craig'

Spring or early summer for major cuts; dead-leaf removal any time. Trim brown leaf tips with sharp scissors, following the leaf's natural taper to avoid blunt-edged cuts. To reduce height, cut the cane with a clean saw or secateurs at the desired point — new shoots will emerge just below the cut.
