☀️ Light
☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
The Dracaena Compacta Dragon Palm thrives in medium, bright light but can adapt quite well to lower light levels. For the best colour and growth, a spot with ample indirect sunlight is ideal. Avoid direct sunlight as it may scorch the leaves.
? Water
??▫️ (Medium)
Water your Dragon Palm when the top layer of soil feels dry to the touch. Ensure the plant is not left in standing water as this can lead to root rot. During the winter months, reduce watering slightly.
?️ Temperature
?️?️?️ (Warm)
Dracaena Compacta enjoys a warm environment, ideally between 18°C and 24°C. Keep it away from drafts, such as those from open windows or air conditioning vents, as sudden temperature changes can stress the plant.
? Humidity
??▫️ (Moderate)
This plant prefers moderate humidity but can tolerate lower levels. If your home is particularly dry, consider using a pebble tray or a humidifier to increase the surrounding moisture.
? Repotting
Repot your Dracaena every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Use a well-draining potting mix to prevent water from sitting at the roots. This is a great opportunity to check the overall health of the root system.
? Pet Friendliness
Be cautious as Dracaena Compacta is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. It’s best to keep this plant out of reach of your furry friends.
? Recommended locations at home
Consider placing your Dragon Palm in living rooms, home offices, or bedrooms where it can receive sufficient light. Just ensure it is away from direct heat sources like radiators.
