Dig a hole approximately twice the width of the pot and no deeper than the root ball. Position the plant carefully, backfill with soil and water thoroughly after planting. Because these are large 500mm plants with bent or uneven trunks, check the plant’s preferred viewing angle before planting. Stake temporarily if additional support is required while the root system establishes. Allow approximately 1.5m to 2.5m between plants, depending on the available space and desired landscape effect. Environmental Requirements: Soil: Free-draining soil is essential. Avoid heavy, waterlogged ground. Climate: Suitable for Sydney gardens and many warm-temperate or coastal locations. Water: Water regularly while establishing. Once established, the plant is drought tolerant and should be allowed to dry slightly between watering. Light: Full sun to part shade. Care Tips: Water regularly during establishment, but do not allow the plant to remain in wet or waterlogged soil. Remove old or damaged lower leaves as required to keep the plant tidy and reveal more of the trunk. Avoid cutting the trunk unless branching is specifically desired. Any major pruning should be carried out during the warmer growing season. Feed lightly during Spring and Summer with a suitable slow-release fertiliser. Avoid excessive fertilising or watering. Important Product Notes: This listing is for seconds-quality stock. These plants have bent, curved or irregular trunks and may not have the straight, symmetrical appearance of premium-grade Dragon Trees. Each plant is different. Trunk angle, foliage shape, height and overall form will vary between individual plants. Supplied as shorter established plants in 500mm pots. The plants are offered at seconds-stock pricing because of their trunk form. Please review the available product photos carefully before purchasing. Natural bends and irregularities are part of this stock and are not considered faults after purchase.
