Q:I bought this a few months ago and I planted it in a ceramic pot I bought from HomeDepot. Now it's infested with tiny little flies and they are all over the apartment. Is there something I can do to get rid of them?? please help!!

Answer This Question

A:  Hello, the soil is likely overly wet which is favorable for fungus gnats. Allow for a moderate drying of the soil for now and avoid overly saturated soil media. Do not have any standing water at the base of the ceramic pot. The fungus gnats should disappear in short order thereafter. Thank you very much for your inquiry!

    Q:How do I prune this plant?

    Answer This Question

    A:  Hello! The 6” Dracaena Mariginata can be pruned entirely across and thru the stem at 1” to 4” below the base of the emerging growth. The new growth will be evident after 4 to 6 weeks and re-sprout 1 to 3 new shoots. It typically takes 3 to 4 months for the new growth to mature to a full appearance after pruning. Thank you for your inquiry!
