I have a small collection of Dracaena. Interesting how they compare at this size. From Left to right: Serrulata, Cinnabari, Draco.  My dream list of Ombet and Tamaranea  remains. file.php?id=66673Post yours up if you have any.

There's lots of cultivars of Dracaena these days, some can be a bit difficult to tell apart. My place had some already on it when I bought but since then I've got some more.

Dracaena surculosa

Another Dracaena surculosa cultivar called "Milky Way" There are several fairly similar with other names.

Dracaena fragrans has many cultivars with only slight differences.gwn13052379.jpg.f7a43517d08bb64809375e722e437dae.jpg

 

For me Dracaena fragrans has the best looking inflorescence of all of them.

Dracaena braunii

A variegated cultivar of Dracaena braunii

Dracaena angustifolia, or Pleomele angustifolia. Taxonomists have been playing ping pong with the name of this one for years.

Dracaena reflexa "Song of India". Produces a lot of seeds but the seedlings revert to the green form.

Spotty sickly looking D cantleyi is sadly a bit tropical .

Second image could be a locally made hybrid .

An update. Nothing too exciting yet, but I’m pleased with the germination and growth rate.

Meangreenz,

 

If I may ask, what type of potting medium are you using for these seedlings, and also do you have these under grow lights?

 

Thank you,

Here's one of my D. dracos.  This is the shorter one.  The other one first bloomed a number of years later so it's taller and has only it's first set of branches.  This one has bloomed twice I think.

Here's D. serrulata close up.  I got three little seedlings years ago from the Huntington sales.  Gave two away and planted this one.  Seems to be a slow grower too.

BTW, if you live in the San Diego area, all these tree dragons from Mediterranean and Arid regions seem to do fine neglected.

Here are my two dracaena. First is a drago, second should be cochinchinensis. Both are grown from seed.  I collected the drago on the island of Malta, the other in China. As they will be potted for their lifetime I won't search for more.
