☀️ Light
☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
The Dracaena Dragon Palm flourishes in medium to bright indirect light but is versatile enough to adapt to low-light environments as well. A spot near a window with filtered sunlight is ideal, ensuring the plant gets enough light without the harsh direct sun.
💧 Water
💧💧▫️ (Medium)
Water your Dracaena when the top inch of the soil feels dry. It’s crucial to avoid overwatering, as the plant does not like to sit in waterlogged soil. Reduce watering during the winter months when plant growth naturally slows down.
🌡️ Temperature
🌡️🌡️🌡️ (Warm)
Dracaena prefers warmer temperatures, ideally between 18°C to 24°C. Keep it away from drafts, such as open windows or air conditioning vents, to prevent sudden temperature drops which can stress the plant.
💦 Humidity
💦💦▫️ (Moderate)
This plant enjoys moderate humidity but will generally tolerate the drier air in most homes. For optimal growth, consider misting the leaves occasionally or placing a humidifier nearby.
🪴 Repotting
Repot your Dracaena every couple of years or when you see roots coming out of the drainage holes. Use a well-draining potting mix to ensure the health of your plant. Terracotta pots are great as they allow the soil to dry more evenly, reducing the chances of root rot.
🐾 Pet Friendliness
Caution is advised as Dracaena plants are toxic if ingested by pets. It’s best to place the plant in an area out of reach of curious cats and dogs.
