Dracaena Lisa & Mass Stump: Outdoor Transition & Repotting

Inherited from restaurant (kept indoors). OK to repot larger? OK outside? Devastated if I kill them!

Expert Advice

Repot no problem—very resilient. Outside in warmer months, morning sun area. 2" drainage material at pot bottom, use "potting" soil. Transplant at same level as previous container. Fertilize 1x/year with 10-10-10 granular.
