Care Instructions For Growing Dracaena Plant Indoors

A very low maintenance plant. However you would need to ensure that it is placed in a location which attracts low footfall, since the foliage can get damaged easily.

Light: Grows well in bright, filtered light but keeping it in the morning sun once in a while will keep it looking good.

Soil:use good potting soil but one which does not have too much fertiliser as excessive soluble salts and fluoride in water can cause yellow blotches, leaf tips and brown margins.

Water: Water this rugged plant approximately once a week with tepid water when the soil feels slightly dry. You could do a light misting two or three times a week.
