DRACAENA
Dracaena are the ultimate easy care houseplant. The taller varieties can make a real impact and are great if you need to dress a shadier space.
WATER
Dracaenas prefer consistently moist but not waterlogged soil. Water when the top 5 to 10cm's of soil feels dry. Be cautious not to overwater, as dracaenas are sensitive to root rot. If in doubt leave it a few more days.
LIGHT
Your Dracaena will thrive in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. Varieties with variegated foliage, like Dracaena Marginata or the Lemon & Lime tend to need brighter light to maintain their colour.
FERTILISING
Feed your dracaena every 4-6 weeks during the spring and summer months.
SOIL
A standard houseplant soil that contains sand or Perlite is ideal for your Dracaena.
TEMPERATURE
Standard household temperatures are fine for Dracaena, but make sure they are not exposed to cold draughts.
HUMIDITY
Standard household temperatures are fine for Dracaena.
TOXICITY
Dracaena are considered toxic to cats and dogs.
