Dracaena "Janet Craig"
Dracaena prefer medium indirect light (within a few feet of a window or grow light). Too much light will cause bleached leaves. Too little light will be indicated by pale, small leaves, and slow growth.
Water every 2 weeks, or when the plant feels light and the soil is mostly dry. When watering from the top, water until it flows quickly through the holes in the bottom of the plastic pot. If watering with a saucer, discard any water that accumulates. Make sure not to water too often - this is a cause of root rot and can kill your plant!
Humidity not required! They are incredibly comfortable under typical household conditions.
They prefer temperatures between 65-80 degrees, don’t do well under 55. Their leaves can damaged by drafts (hot and cold), so try to keep them away from vents!
This plant has no appetite! Fertilize twice a year during the growing season (Spring and Summer) with a mix diluted to 50% strength to avoid crunchy leaf tips.
Keep out of reach of pets (and kids!) as these plants are toxic if ingested.
