What are the cultivation methods and precautions for the Dracaena deremensis 'Warneckii'?

1. Potted production standard: 14 cm pot, height 35 cm, crown width about 40 cm, market cycle 7-8 months

2. Substrate preparation: use loose, well-draining and well-aerated imported Klasmann peat of 5-40 mm specification, add water to the peat and mix well (standard for adding water: after mixing with water, squeeze a handful of peat tightly and water seeps out from between the fingers), then wait to plant in cups. A 14 cm pot uses about 400 ml of peat per pot; one 300-liter bag of imported peat can fill about 750 cups.

3. Requirements for potting seedlings: choose high-quality professionally produced seedlings, seedling height 11 cm, crown width 7-8 cm, free of pests and diseases, free of dead leaves and yellow leaves

4. Potting: for reused old pots, they must be soaked in 1000-fold potassium permanganate solution for more than half an hour, then rinsed with clean water and dried for later use. Generally, pots with a diameter of 14 cm are used for planting. When planting, first place about 2 cm of substrate at the bottom of the cup, then move the screened seedlings into the cup. Small seedlings should not be planted too deep; it is best to keep the base of the plant level as the standard; the substrate should be moderately firm and filled to 9/10 of the cup.

Daily care: the water requirement is not very large, and generally watering should follow the principle of water when dry and stop when wet; for fertilizer, Peters Professional 20-20-20 water-soluble fertilizer can be used. The gold-dust yucca cane grows relatively slowly and has a relatively small fertilizer requirement. In the first 3-4 months after planting, because the root system is not well developed, generally apply Peters Professional 20-20-20 water-soluble fertilizer at 2000-fold dilution once every half month; if the amount of fertilizer water is large, it is instead unfavorable to the growth of the gold-dust yucca cane. If too much fertilizer is used, newly emerging leaves will shrivel and fail to open; in the latter 4-5 months the plant grows larger and the root system is relatively well developed, so generally apply Peters Professional 20-20-20 water-soluble fertilizer at 1000-fold dilution once every half month.
