Do Dracaena Like to Be Root Bound

Does a Dracaena like to be root bound? It doesn’t mind being a bit root bound and will do fine. If it gets too root bound, it’ll stop growing.

When should I repot a small dracaena?

Spring, summer, and into early fall are good times for repotting Dracaenas. If you live in a climate where winter comes early, then spring and summer are best. Fall is mild here in Tucson so I repot through the end of October. Avoid repotting indoor plants in winter if you can because they like to rest at this time.

Should you water a dracaena after repotting?

Only when the soil is dry down to the first inch or so (a couple centimeters), water to moisten the entire soil mix clump again. Again, one might contend that watering one or 2 times a month should suffice. But this also depends on where your dracaena is placed: if it is in full sun, its needs will surely be higher.
