Hi,

I bought a Dracaena Marginata that had 3 trunks in the pot.
I attached the images of it here.
I have a couple questions just to make sure I am doing right and what need to be done !
1- From the pictures, does the plant seems in good shape ? I had it for 3 months.
2- I'd like to have the trunk be bigger . I saw some other Marginata, and the trunk seems very skinny.
How can I Have a bigger trunk so it is stronger ??

3 - For each trunk, I'd like to have at least 3-4 more branches. I read that by cutting the top of the main branch, some new branches will grow. But how can I make sure to have at least 3 to 4 ?

4- How should I cut the branch to have more branches ? At which height level should I cut from the top ? After cutting it , what are the care I should provide to the main trunk ? and what can I do with the cutted branch ?


5- Is there a way to have more leafs ??


Thanks a lot for your advices !
