Has your one ever had any flowers on it? Our one hasn't before, I was wondering if there is anything special which I need to do to encourage flower production.  Nick :D

  AlexS Location: Reading Joined on: 06 Sep 2009 Posts: 58	Reply | Contact Several of my dracaenas flowered two or three years ago, for the only time, and I have no idea what I did right either. My crassula/money plant flowered that year too, but not before or since. I'd also like to know if I can make this happen again? Alex Alex
