Dividing and Repotting Dracaena Spikes (Cordyline) for Indoor Move

Separating intertwined Dracaena spikes (Cordyline indivisa) from outdoor pots for indoor wintering is risky—like surgery. Use a sharp knife to slice rootball between plants, preserving most roots. Repot divisions into barely larger pots with minimal new soil. Water thoroughly.

Indoor Transition

• Light will be much lower; growth slows.
• Water and fertilize less.
• Provide maximum indoor light.

Expect some loss; careful division improves odds.
