Creating a Braided Dragon Tree

Braided Dracaenas start as flexible young stems. Your plant is likely too stiff. Option: cut top, root it, add a third stem, then braid as they grow — but it's easier to buy one pre-braided. To cut: sever at lowest leaves, strip lower leaves, leave a few at top, dip base in rooting hormone, plant in fresh moist mix. The base will sprout two new tops.
