Roots may be damaged, but don’t worry about that as it is a very strong plant.It is very important that the new pot is at least 20% larger than the old one and that it is filled with fresh potting soil.
Pruning is not necessary for the Dracaena. The only thing that is good to do is sometimes trim the leaves. For example when the Dracaena has been in the sun and the leaves are a little burned. When you want to trim the leaf it’s important to use a pruner and cut the leaf 2cm above the stem.
