LOL, Dipsy! Some men just are not good with plants, my husband being one of them! Whenever I go to visit one of my sisters for a few days my husband always asks me if he will have to water the plants! I have many, many plants and he enjoys looking at them but doesn't have a clue as to what is what and the type of care they need. He is usually very relieved when I tell him everything has been watered and will be fine until I return home!

I have cut tops off of dracaena's many times ... sometimes they root quickly, other times they root but are slow growing! I hope your boyfriend's plant does well.

There are a few Dracaena Marginata's listed in Plant Files:

I have a few small Dracaena Marginata's but this is a large one that's been sitting in it's container out in the backyard for a few years. I keep saying I am going to get it in the ground but have not gotten around to doing it yet!


This one is the Dracaena Marginata "Tricolor"
