DRACAENA FRAGRANS
Light: ☀️ Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate low light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
Water: 💧 Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry. Dracaena Fragrans is sensitive to overwatering, so let the soil dry out slightly between waterings. Ensure the pot has good drainage.
Soil: 🌱 Prefers well-draining potting soil. A standard houseplant mix works well, but a mix with some peat moss for better moisture retention is ideal.
Temperature: 🌡️ Thrives in temperatures between 65–75°F (18–24°C). Keep it away from cold drafts and avoid temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
Humidity: 💦 Tolerates average indoor humidity but prefers slightly higher humidity levels. Mist occasionally or use a humidity tray in dry conditions.
Fertilizer: 🌼 Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce fertilizing in the winter when the plant is not actively growing.
Pruning: ✂️ Remove any yellow or dead leaves as needed. You can cut back the top to encourage new growth and control the plant’s height.
Growth Habit: 🌿 Dracaena Fragrans is an upright plant with long, glossy green leaves, often with yellow or cream stripes. It can grow up to 6 feet tall indoors, with a thick, woody stem and a bushy appearance. It’s known for its air-purifying qualities and is a popular choice for indoor décor.
