Plant Care

Light Requirements: Tolerates low to bright, indirect light. Bright filtered light encourages healthy growth, while strong direct sunlight can scorch the leaves.

Water Requirements: Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry before watering. Water thoroughly and allow excess water to drain completely. Avoid keeping the soil soggy.

Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced houseplant fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer. Reduce feeding during fall and winter.

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

Temperature: Prefers temperatures around 65–80°F. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below about 50°F.

Pet Safety: Toxic to cats and dogs if ingested.

Humidity: Average household humidity is generally suitable. Moderate humidity can help prevent brown leaf tips.

Growth Habit: An upright, slow-growing Dracaena with long, glossy, dark green leaves growing from sturdy cane-like stems.
