Pleomele (Dracaena) Propagation from Woody Cuttings

newly potted cuttings
woody, spindly Sister's plant (deceased). Can't figure watering—leaves brown and drop. Grew spindly, cut tops to re-root in starter mix. Stems woody, cut at green points hoping for roots. Leaves perking up after a week. Still watering base hoping for shoots.

Expert Advice

It's a Dracaena. Cutting tops and sticking in soil is correct propagation. Keep soil damp, not wet—new roots will form. Mother plant should send new growth from cut points. Repot mother with fresh soil, add drainage material at bottom. Dracaena likes humidity—mist leaves occasionally.
