How to take care of Dracaena red ruby plant :
- Place red dracaena in a bright area, out of direct sunlight.
- Water red dracaena whenever the soil surface dries out. Water thoroughly until water runs out the drainage hole.
- Mist the red dracaena leaves two to three times a week, more often when the air is dry.
- Dust leaves regularly with a damp cloth to prevent the buildup of dust on the broad leaves.
- Fertilize red dracaena in the spring with a time-release houseplant formula.
- Repot red dracaena in the spring. When new growth appears, turn small pots upside down, holding the plant between your fingers and exposing the root mass.
- A solid root mass indicates the need for repotting. Look for signs of root crowding in larger plants. When re-potting is needed, move the plant to a pot that is 1 to 2 inches larger in diameter. Add additional potting soil to the bottom and sides of the pot, keeping the plant at the height it was originally planted. Tamp the soil around the plant and water immediately after re-potting.
