Care Tips

• Light: Prefers medium to bright, indirect light. Ample filtered light will help maintain its vibrant variegation. Direct sunlight can scorch its leaves, while too little light may cause the colors to fade and growth to slow.

• Water: Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry to the touch between waterings. Water thoroughly until it drains from the bottom. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. Reduce watering in colder months. Dracaenas are sensitive to fluoride in tap water; using distilled, filtered, or rainwater is often beneficial.

• Humidity: Tolerates average household humidity, but appreciates higher humidity. Occasional misting or grouping with other plants is beneficial.

• Soil: Use a well-draining, all-purpose potting mix.

• Temperature: Grows well at average room temperatures between 18-29°C (65-85°F). Protect from cold drafts or sudden temperature drops, as this can stress the plant.

• Feeding: Fertilize sparingly during the spring and summer growing seasons with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer, diluted to half strength.

• Cleaning: Wipe leaves occasionally with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and enhance their appearance.

Important Note

Dracaena plants are toxic if ingested. Keep out of reach of pets and children.
