Care
Light
Dracaena are very versatile when it comes to household lighting conditions. This plant enjoys both bright indirect light and can adapt to lower light conditions as well. It is best to keep it out of direct sunlight for long periods so the leaves don’t burn.
Water
Dracaena like to be kept on the dry side. It is best to let it dry out between watering. We recommend not overwatering this plant. Overwatering will lead to root rot and will harm this easy to maintain plant.
Care
This is an easy to care for plant. It doesn’t need to be fertilized often. We recommend two to three times in spring through summer and just watering it in fall through winter. When fertilizing it, we like to dilute the fertilizer by about half. It enjoys higher humidity but will perform fine with normal household humidity. If you'd like you can always give it a good misting in the morning. As this plant grows, it is natural for the bottom leaves to brown and fall off. If needed the browning leaves can be removed for a tidier look. The top of this plant can be pruned off to display a fuller look.
