Looking for help with dragon tree

[matnurse1983]

Advice/help needed with dragon tree. We are moving house and don't have room for my tree.

I've had it for 6 years and would love to take a cutting from it if possible. Has anyone done this before? Any advice welcome.

I was also wondering if there is a way to reduce the size of the plant...

Once I have my cutting I would love for someone to plant it outside where it will have room to grow.

The main plant needs re-potting and I would love for it to go to a good home.

If you go to web site ehow.com and type in how to take cuttings of dragon tree they have a simple description of how to do the cutting .

They are house plants so if you planted it in the garden it would die in the winter so it would be better to find a new home for it .

You can reduce the size by cutting out the tops but will then produce 2 or more shoots from the point you cut it .

Thank you Broadbean,

I am going to have to take the plunge and try for a few cuttings from each stem. They will be easier to transport and I should get at least one new plant out of it :)

I will post an update in a few months.
