Very informative!

Is it ok to trim the tree if it has no foliage? I have a 4 foot stem that had its top knocked off during moving, so its just a stick now. It has already strated regrowing about a 1inch bud in the last week. Can i chop the 4 foot stem into two pieces and try sticking it into the soil if it has no foliage?

I recently pruned mine draceana.

I put the top in water and after 3 hours there was visible little buds/sprouts/ roots (I don't know how to name it). After 10 days there was several roots 4cm long. I planted the plant in new pot. I hope it will survive.

Thank you. I never knew that I can prune them. I have a giant one about 10 years old and have never been prune. It bloomed twice in the past 10 years and the fragrance was so nice I wish I can describe it but imagine if that fragrance put on ice scream, it'll be heaven. Thanks for the tips, I'll be pruning this weekend.

Kathryn, thanks for this video. I have an overgrown houseplant that looks like a dracaena, but not quite the same leaves as the one you show here. I don't know if I can prune it or not. I uploaded a video of it if you care to go to my channel.
