Hi - where should I cut?? I’ve got a Dracaena Janet Craig - 3 stalks. It got really tall and started struggling so I lopped the tops off two stalks and they’re sprouting and taking roots nicely. On the 3rd stalk, I’m thinking I want to trim it a lot closer to the base - below the leaf line. But there’s also some aerial roots (?) on there. I’ll probably also subdivide the cutting since it is gonna be big and would probably struggle to stay healthy while growing roots. Where would you comment cutting? Above or below the root thingies?

    ya no problem, probably just the propagated part but i don’t know much about rooting hormone sorry. I don’t think it would hurt to put it on both sides though.
