Beach in what country??? (IIRC, it is endemic to Canary Islands). Very nice "tree"...

Yes, it is Canary Islands, and it has beautiful beaches. We get away there every year for a few weeks in December😎
My cutting is growing nicely, despite the lower amount of sun we have here. I rooted it in March 2019.

TY. Your cutting is growing great. Was it much smaller when you got it? And what size of pot it is in now?

When I took the cutting, it was +/- 15 cm long, 2 cm diameter. I have it now since August 2019 in.an 11 L pot with my interpretation of gmx: seramis, red lava, bark.
Now is aprox 35 cm tall and aprox 5 cm diameter😊🙏...I only need some more ☀☀☀☀!

Hi Michael, any advice for rooting this plant? It is gorgeous !!! How much time did it take to root? I want to do the same thing :)

Thank you very much, Michael! I'll try that :) I have just a few more doubts, sorry to be so insistent.

When can I put the cutting out in the garden exposed to direct sun and rain?

What irrigation method and frequency do you recommend?

Is it a problem if I do not take the cutting in March-April?

Should I remove the lower leaves of the stem?

Can I root any cutting size?

Can I use liquid hormone or it has to be dust?

Best regards!

Sergio

Hello Sergio,

From my limited experience with this plant I would say:

- out in the garden = in a container, once the night temps are stable at above 8-10 C. If in ground, it depends on your climate zone. I only have one plant in a plastic container and no experience with this plant in ground.

watering/irrigation = it depends heavily on your potting mix. Mine is very fast draining and when outside on my terrace, I water about once a week, but always adjusting the frequency accordingly (rainy days, heat wave, wind and dry weather...etc). I use a 0,5 L PET bottle for an 11 L pot of mix, I try to avoid wasting water when possible...

take the cutting in March-April : = whenever you have the cutting, I would prepare it and root it, just provide it with constant temps and minimum rain/watering until it takes.

remove the leaves = mine was without leaves when I took it. So I don't know what to say...

cutting size = length wise, 15-20 cm seems ok for me, up to you to try rooting whatever you've got.

rooting hormone = I only worked with powder hormone. If liquid hormone is all you've got, then use it.

Best,

Michael

Thanks Michael!! I'll keep you updated. Thanks for your time :)

wow,Looks like a small Dragon Tree. Next time I see one for sale...
