Madagascar Dragon Tree: Roots in Saucer—Repot or Leave?

Unconventional Success: Leave It Alone

7-ft tree, 4 years never repotted, roots growing in water-filled saucer but healthy. Some roots adapt to water. If no decline, don't fix what isn't broken.

If You Must Repot

Root-prune & move to 12" pot with extra perlite.
Risky for large plant; only if deterioration starts.

Monitor; success argues for status quo.
