What is the plant

There are approximately 120 species of Dracaena trees and shrubs. Whether your favorite is Marginata, Massangenana, Fragrans, or possibly Deremensis, each will give you a hefty return for very little maintenance. This genus of plants can grow quite large and are best kept under control by removing the top portion of the plant. New foliage will emerge from the cut area and you can even propagate the cutting! If you give this hearty indoor plant the proper light and amount of water, it will become a lovely, long-term resident in your home.

Sunlight
Dracaenas need bright light, but should not be placed in direct sunlight. The best possible position is one that gets two or three hours a day of sunlight filtered through a translucent blind or curtain.
Soil
Dracaena thrive in rich soil with plenty of organic material, such as a well-draining, peaty commercial potting soil.
Temperature
The ideal temperatures for Dracaenas are those above 65℉. Sudden coldness can damage the leaves, so keep them away from drafty doors and windows during the colder months.

Container
Containers must promote good drainage. Choose clay pots with drainage holes that allow the soil to partially dry out in between watering, but don't allow the soil to dry out completely. Place your pot where the plant can get bright light but is out of direct sunlight.
