🌿 Dracaena fragrans – Care Guide

Commonly known as the Corn Plant, Dracaena fragrans is one of the most popular houseplants for its striking foliage, air-purifying ability, and hardiness. It features broad, arching leaves that grow in tufts from a thick, cane-like stem and is an excellent choice for both homes and offices.

☀️ Light Requirements

• Thrives in bright, indirect light

• Tolerates low light, but variegated types may fade

💧 Watering

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

• Typically once every 7–10 days, depending on room temperature and humidity

• Avoid overwatering – prone to root rot

• Use filtered or rainwater – sensitive to fluoride and chlorine

🌱 Soil & Repotting

• Feed once a month during spring to early autumn

• Use a balanced liquid fertilizer at half strength

• No feeding needed in winter

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance
