How to Care for an Outdoor Dragon Tongue Plant Used for Ground Cover

Using plants in your garden is a great way to add color to your landscaping. Using mulch or rocks as ground cover may easy, but it's not as appealing to the eye. However, by using unique or exotic plants in your garden, you can create jaw dropping beauty that you and your guests can enjoy while you're spending time in your yard.

Instructions

    • 1

      Place the plant in an area of the yard where it won't be under the light of the sun continuously. You want the plant to get some light, but too much can be detrimental.

    • 2

      Plant the dragon tongue in an area of your garden where the soil is very moist. This is particularly true if it's not an established plant.

    • 3

      Water the plant regularly. When it's newly planted, you want to make sure that it doesn't dry out in between waterings.

    • 4

      Moisten the soil of the plant rather than the leaves. Because the roots are in the soil, it's important that you water the soil so that it makes its way down to the roots.
