Here are photos (see link below) of a plant I have had for several years. Originally it was a tall stalk; but, now has branched off. I would like to know what plant it is and how I can cut the leaning stalk (with 3 more stalks) and replant that section. Thank you. Marleen

The plant is a Dracaena

Sturdy and adaptable, dragon tree may take years to mature.

LIGHT: Place in high light (full sun) in winter and medium (bright indirect) light the rest of the year. Tolerates low light.
WATER: Allow soil to dry between thorough waterings. Mist daily in warm seasons, more often in hot weather, and never in cool weather. Increased humidity prevents brown leaf tips.
TEMPERATURE: Maintain high temperatures in day for best growth. Average temperatures OK.


Comments:
Pot up in spring if needed. Feed every 14 days during active growth. Clean leaves monthly. Propagate by air layering, stem cuttings, or seed (keep soil at 86 degrees).
