How do I successfully go about dracaena training?

Answer by  dwammer (710)

Rather than bending or twisting, this plant is a lot like the bonsai tree plant. The shape takes place from pruning or cutting the stems.

There is really no possible way to train them , they are like a bonsai tree, You can determine its shape by using sticks and strings to carefully twist and spiral the plant. These plants have brittle stems and breake easely, so be gentle. It is important to water them at least once a week for them to survive.

From what I have read they cannot be trained. If you want to do a shape use sticks to curve or spiral your plant. These plants have hard stems and if not careful can break. So use string and sticks to gently shape your plant. Don't forget to water every once a week.

Well you can basically shape them the way you want them to go. Basically if you want them diagonally, twist them that way.
