Dracaena Plant with vase

Product Description

Care Instructions:

1. Light:
   • Indirect Light: Dracaena thrives in bright, indirect sunlight but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can cause leaf scorching.
2. Water:
   • Moderate Watering: Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly but avoid overwatering, as Dracaena is sensitive to excess moisture.
   • Water Quality: Use distilled or filtered water if possible, as Dracaena is sensitive to fluoride in tap water.
3. Temperature:
   • Warm Environment: Maintain a temperature range of 65°F – 80°F (18°C – 27°C). Protect the plant from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
4. Humidity:
   • Average Humidity: Dracaena prefers average indoor humidity. Increase humidity by misting the leaves occasionally if the air is very dry.
5. Fertilization:
   • Occasional Feeding: Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. Reduce feeding in the fall and winter.
6. Pruning:
   • Minimal Pruning Needed: Trim any brown or yellow leaves to maintain the plant’s appearance. Prune stems to control height and promote bushier growth if desired.
7. Pest Control:
   • Monitor for Pests: Check regularly for pests like spider mites and mealybugs. Use insecticidal soap or neem oil to treat any infestations.
8. Repotting:
   • Every 2-3 Years: Repot the Dracaena every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix to support healthy growth.
