Dracaena

Your Dracaena will do best in medium to bright indirect sunlight, but can tolerate low light.

Overwatering causes root rot and is the main reason a Dracaena plant dies. Water your Dracaena well and allow the top 50-75% of the soil to dry before watering again. Brown tips on the leaves can indicate over watering while numerous yellow leaves mean the plant needs more water.

Your Dracaena will do well in average humidity environments, but will appreciate regular misting.

Dracaenas like average room temperatures between 65-85°F.

Dracaena plants are slow-growing and do not need much fertilizer. Feed once a month in the spring and summer with an all-purpose plant food at half the recommended strength. No fertilizer is necessary during the fall and winter when plant growth naturally slows.

Dracaena is toxic to pets and humans. Typically, ingestion will cause mouth and stomach irritation with possible vomiting.
