Moderate indirect light is ideal for the Black Dragon but it will adapt to most lighting conditions. Low light, moderate, or bright light will suffice for this plant. However, we do recommend leaving direct sunlight to a minimum, as this may cause the leaves to lose their dark color.

Because it has succulent leaves and underground rhizomes, this plant doesn't require high levels of water. We like to let it dry out between watering as it is prone to root rot if the soil is consistently soggy.
