How to Propagate dragon tree?

An iconic subtropical tree, dragon tree is propagated through cuttings, a method that allows gardeners to clone mature characteristics of the mother plant. For successful propagation, take semi-hardwood cuttings, ensuring each has at least one node. Treat the cut ends with rooting hormone to stimulate growth and plant them in a well-draining soil mix, keeping the environment warm and moist to encourage root development. Regular misting helps maintain humidity, but avoid waterlogging, which can lead to rotting.
