Dracaena bacularis 'Fernwood Punk' Care Guide
Placement
- Avoid areas with cold drafts or direct heat sources like radiators.
Light
- Thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate low-light conditions.
- Faster growth in medium to bright light. Remains slow in dimmer areas.
- Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which can scorch leaves.
- If in low light, rotate the plant occasionally to promote even growth.
Watering
- Water only when soil is fully dry – typically every 2-3 weeks.
- Reduce watering further in low-light conditions.
- Ensure pots have drainage holes to prevent root rot.
Humidity
- No extra humidity required – thrives in average household humidity.
- Avoid misting excessive moisture on leaves can encourage rot.
Temperature
- Ideal range: 18°C - 26°C can tolerate up to 32°C.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures below 10°C.
- Protect from sudden temperature changes (e.g., air conditioners, open windows in winter).
Soil
- Prefers a well-draining, sandy mix (cactus or succulent soil works best).
- Mix with perlite or pumice to improve aeration.
Repotting and Pot Selection
- Repot every 2-3 years or when root-bound.
- Choose a well-draining terracotta or plastic pot with drainage holes.
- A snug pot encourages stronger growth too large a pot retains excess moisture.
Fertilizing
- Feed once a month with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season.
- Avoid excessive fertilization – Dracaena bacularis is a slow grower.
Propagation
- Best propagated via leaf cuttings or division.
- Allow cuttings to dry for 24 hours before planting in dry soil.
- Water lightly until roots establish.
Hydroponics and Semi-Hydroponics
- Adapts well to semi-hydroponics if provided with proper nutrients.
- Thrives in hydroponic setups when roots are well-aerated.
Pruning
- Trim dead or damaged leaves with sterile scissors.
- Remove older leaves at the base to maintain a neat appearance.
Common Issues and Solutions
Pests
- Common pests: Spider mites, mealybugs, thrips, scale insects.
- Solution: Wipe leaves with neem oil or insecticidal soap.
Root Rot
- Cause: Overwatering or poor drainage.
- Solution: Let soil dry fully before watering use a well-draining mix.
Leaf Issues
- Yellowing Leaves: Sign of excess moisture or poor light – reduce watering and move to a brighter location.
- Browning Leaf Tips: Can result from fluoride in tap water or low humidity – use filtered water and maintain humidity.
- Soft, Mushy Leaves: Indicates overwatering or fungal infection – remove affected leaves and ensure good airflow.
- Wrinkled or Curling Leaves: A sign of underwatering or extreme dryness – slightly increase watering without soaking soil.
Additional Tips for Success
Understanding its natural dry, rocky habitat helps provide the best care. Keeping soil dry, ensuring good airflow, and avoiding excessive watering are key to success.
This nearly indestructible plant is perfect for beginners and thrives on neglect. The key to a healthy 'Fernwood Punk' is patience – growth may be slow, but this plant rewards with longevity and resilience.

A careful, scholarly work
Format: Hardcover
The introduction to this book does a great job of laying out the challenges of translating an ancient translation. It is not, however, aimed at people without a significant background in Hebrew, Greek and translation theory.
I give credit to the authors of the introduction, Albert Pietersma and Benjamin G. Wright, for specifying the nature of the translation and its audience. Taken from Nida and Taber, _The Theory and Practice of Translation_ (Leiden: Brill, 1982), p. 31: "a translation in the present-day literary language, so as to communicate to the well-educated constituency." The translators chose this group "on the assumption that it is most probably this audience that has a more than passing interest in traditions of biblical literature other than their own" (p. xiv). I think they are right about this.
"Translating an ancient text can only be described as a profoundly difficult undertaking....
"The difficulties of the undertaking are certainly not decreased when one attempts to translate an ancient translation into a modern language. If translating is an act of interpreting, as linguists suggest it is, rather than a simple transfer of meaning, a Greek interpretation of a Hebrew original can be expected to reflect what the translator understood the Hebrew text to mean. The end result is therefore inevitably to some degree a commentary written at a specific historical time and place by an individual person, whose understanding of the Hebrew will often have been at variance with our own, though at times perhaps equally viable." (p. xvi)
Indeed, back when I was a linguist- and translator-in-training at the Summer Institute of Linguistics (early 1980s), I was taught the rather simplistic model of translation as a mere transfer of meaning. Experience, though, has taught me that this is virtually impossible. A text of any level of sophistication above that of a stop sign is full of cultural assumptions, lexical polysemy, syntactic ambiguity, and so forth. Any translation is perforce an interpretation. The only way to even begin to compensate for this, if the readers of the translations are not scholars trained in the relevant fields, is to include a massive set of footnotes. The average reader is just not going to take the time to read such a set of notes, even if they are included. The majority of traditional religious readers of a Bible translation are not prepared to deal with the challenges that such footnotes would present to their existing understanding of the text.
The New English Translation of the Septuagint is aimed at those who already have at least some of the relevant scholarly background and are not averse to acquiring more.
