Hydroponic method:
Choose healthy and sturdy branches of Dracaena sanderiana with green leaves, and pay attention to check whether there are diseases and pests.
Cut off the leaves at the bottom of the branches to expose the stem, in order to reduce water evaporation and promote rooting.
Insert the processed branches into a vase filled with clean water, with the water level just above the bottom of the stem to prevent the leaves from getting wet and rotting.
Place it in a well lit indoor area but avoid direct sunlight, and keep the indoor temperature between 18-28 ℃.
Regularly change the water to maintain clean water quality, usually changing the water once a week is sufficient. When changing water, gently clean the bottom of the stem to remove impurities.

Soil cultivation method:
Prepare loose, fertile, and well drained soil, such as soil mixed with humus, garden soil, and river sand.
Insert the branches of Dracaena sanderiana into the soil at a depth just below the bottom of the stem, keep the soil moist but avoid ponding.
Also placed indoors in a well lit area but away from direct sunlight, maintaining a suitable temperature.
Regularly water the soil to keep it moist, and apply thin liquid fertilizer once a month to meet the growth needs of the plants.

Half soil and half water method:
Prepare a small flowerpot or container, and lay an appropriate amount of soil on the bottom.
The branches of Dracaena sanderiana are inserted into the soil, but only a part of the bottom of the stem is buried, so that part of the root system is exposed to the air.
Add an appropriate amount of water to the container to keep the soil moist but not too wet. The height of the water should be just below the surface of the soil.
The maintenance method is similar to hydroponic and soil cultivation methods, paying attention to regular watering and changing of water, while maintaining suitable soil and moisture.

Maintenance techniques

Lighting: Dracaena sanderiana likes a bright environment but avoids direct sunlight. Excessive sunlight can cause leaf burns and affect plant growth. Therefore, it should be placed in a place with suitable indoor lighting.

Temperature: The suitable growth temperature of Dracaena sanderiana is 18~28 ℃. Excessive or insufficient temperature can lead to poor plant growth. In winter, it is important to take measures to keep warm and avoid plants from freezing.

Moisture: Both hydroponic and soil cultivation methods require maintaining appropriate moisture levels. Hydroponic methods require regular water changes to maintain clean water quality; The soil cultivation method requires regular watering to keep the soil moist but not too wet. At the same time, attention should be paid to avoiding water accumulation that can cause root rot.

Fertilization: Dracaena sanderiana needs proper nutrient support during its growth. Thin liquid fertilizer can be applied once a month to meet the growth needs of plants. However, it should be noted that excessive fertilization can cause new leaves to become dry brown, uneven and dull, and old leaves to turn yellow and fall off; Insufficient fertilization can lead to new leaves having a light color, appearing pale green or even pale yellow.

Pruning: Regularly prune withered and yellow leaves and branches to maintain the cleanliness and beauty of the plant. At the same time, attention should be paid to controlling the growth rate of Dracaena sanderiana to avoid the endless growth of branches and leaves affecting the viewing effect.
