The  log of happiness  , popular name of  Dracaena fragrans  , is a very widespread and appreciated decorative plant throughout the world. According to Eastern philosophy, this plant has a positive meaning and represents abundance during its flowering.

However, to  make the log of happiness bloom,  it is necessary to adopt appropriate care, ranging from correct exposure to correct watering. Following these treatments, this plant will flower twice a year, in spring and autumn.

If you already have a happy log at home that has never bloomed, you are probably not caring for it properly. Below we list the basic treatments to  make the trunk of happiness flourish  .

Light

Avoid exposing the happiness log to direct sun, which could burn it. The ideal is to place it in a space where it can receive natural light, but not in excess. Darkness could rot the leaves and cause them to dry out quickly.

Irrigation

The soil of the trunk of happiness should be constantly moist: water the plant two or three times a week. If the leaves turn brown and weak, it is a sign that they need more water and this happens frequently during the summer months.

Pruning

This step is very important. When a leaf on the trunk of happiness begins to rot or dry out, it is best to remove it immediately. Ideally, once they have bloomed and are dry, they should be removed from the plant along with any other waste such as other leaves or flower pieces.

The flowers of the trunk of happiness are white and small, when dried they turn purple and then brown.
