    I have heard you can get a striped Dracaena to flower but that it is difficult. Has anyone ever been successful in doing this??

    Sorry Jenny, I have around 8 different species/hybrids and I have never experienced spriped flowers. But I don't have every species/hybrid and a couple of mine are yet to flower, mainly the reflexa...

    Thanks Ed, I heard it was pretty rare. Is there a reason for that?

    How did you hear about it Jenny?

    Oh boy.... tough one! It was on one of the many sites I was wandering through. Ill see if it is still in my computers history. There was no picture but it had the plants profile which stated that it does flower, but rarely. I wouldn't have even thought of it for more then a second if I didn't have 2 striped Dracaena. I wasn't aware that they could flower so I found it interesting.

    Jenny do you mean you have 2 striped Dracaena or 2 striped Dracaena flowers?

    There are no Dracaena with striped flowers.

    By "striped", do you mean Dracaena with variegated leaves?

    Oh no... looking back at my posts, it could look like I meant a striped flower! lol! I meant the leaves.

    a striped flower would be pretty though!
