Plant care

☀️ Dracaena plants vary in size, shape, and color, they all however share the same characteristics. The Dracaena lies bright indirect light but can adapt to low light, too much direct sunlight can burn and bleach the leaves.

💧 We recommend watering your Dracaena when the top 50-75% of the soil is dry, water until liquid flows through the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot, discard any accumulated water in saucer.

🌡 This plant will thrive in temperatures between 60-80 degrees. Dracaenas will benefit from a light misting 1-2 times per week especially in the winter when the air is dry.

✨ Misting will help keep the foliage clean and dust free. It is recommended that you feed your Dracaena every month in the spring and summer with an all-purpose liquid fertilizer, diluted to half the directed strength.

☠️ The Dracaena is a moderately toxic to pets typically causing a mild mouth irritation, stomach irritation, and possible vomiting.
