Plant Care

Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light but tolerates medium light. Brighter filtered light helps maintain its attractive variegation. Avoid harsh direct sunlight.

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 constantly 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 houseplant potting mix. Adding perlite can improve drainage.

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 suitable. Moderate humidity can help prevent brown leaf tips.

Growth Habit: An upright, cane-forming Dracaena with long, narrow, striped leaves growing in dense clusters.
