Proper plant transplantation is very important. The roots of the flower grow rapidly, and they can become cramped in a pot.

The most optimal time for a flower transplant is the period from mid-March to the end of April. This is a period of intensive plant growth. The young dracen is transplanted every year, and the adult one every 2-3 years.

Sometimes there are situations when the flower needs to be transplanted at another time. This need may occur immediately after purchase, if you notice that the plant is too tight in the pot. In this case, transplantation is carried out at any time of the year, during the week after purchase.

At the bottom of the pot should be placed drainage from large expanded clay.
