🌿 Dracaena – General Care Guide

Dracaena is a diverse genus of elegant, easy-care foliage plants, popular both as indoor houseplants and tropical landscape accents. Known for their sword-like leaves, striking colors, and air-purifying qualities, Dracaenas range from compact tabletop varieties to tree-like forms that add structure and drama to interiors.

☀️ Light Requirements

• Prefers bright, indirect light

• Tolerates low light, though growth may slow and colors fade

• Avoid direct sun—can burn leaves, especially variegated types

💧 Watering

• Water when top 2–5 cm (1–2 inches) of soil feels dry

• Generally, every 7–10 days indoors (adjust by climate and pot size)

• Do not overwater – Dracaena is prone to root rot

• Use filtered or distilled water if possible (sensitive to fluoride)

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

• Prefers 18–26°C (65–80°F)

• Avoid temperatures below 10°C (50°F)

• Likes moderate humidity; mist occasionally or use a humidifier if air is dry

🌍 Soil

• Use well-draining potting mix

• A standard indoor plant mix or a cactus/succulent blend with added peat or compost works well

• Ensure pot has drainage holes

🍃 Fertilizing

• Feed monthly during growing season (spring–early fall)

• Use a balanced liquid fertilizer at half strength

• No need to fertilize in winter

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

• Prune to control size or shape; cut just above a leaf node

• Remove yellow or brown leaves to tidy the plant

• Can propagate cuttings in water or moist soil

⚠️ Common Issues

⚠️ Toxicity

• Toxic to pets (cats & dogs) if ingested

• Causes vomiting, drooling, or loss of appetite

• Keep out of reach of pets and children

From sleek modern interiors to tropical gardens, Dracaena brings timeless greenery and graceful form to any space with little effort.
