How to prune dracaena reflexa

Spring to early summer. Cut stems back to the desired length using clean, sharp pruning shears, cutting just above a node or leaf cluster. The cut stem can be propagated as a tip cutting. Remove yellowing leaves by pulling them downward or cutting at the stem cleanly.

Every 2–3 years for height control, otherwise as needed. Dracaena reflexa can be pruned in spring to control height and promote a bushier habit. Cut stems back to just above a leaf node; new shoots emerge below the cut. Remove any yellowing lower leaves as the plant naturally sheds them. Overall pruning needs are low but the plant responds well when done.
