Dracaena Cintho Care

Usually, watering approximately once a week is adequate. Dracaena benefits from a light misting two or three times per week when a air is dry, especially during a winter. Misting also helps to keep a foliage clean and free of dust.

It is important to never remove more than a third of the foliage in any one year and to cut just above a node on the stem.

Liquid fertilizers are applied more frequently, bi-weekly or monthly, for example. Granular products are used less frequently, perhaps once every month or two. Slow-release houseplant fertilizers break down slowly and release their nutrients in small amounts, over a longer period of time. A single application of most of these products lasts for three to four months.

Avoid direct sun exposure.

Loose, light, humus soil is ideal for this plant.

Average household temperatures between 16-24°C but can cope with as low as 12°C for short periods.

Here’s a handy guideline: increase pot size by 2.5-5 cm (1 to 2 inches) in diameter for plants that are growing in pots 25.4 cm (10 inches) in diameter or less. For larger plants, those growing in pots greater than 10 inches in diameter, increase the pot size by 5 or 7.62 cm (2 or 3 inches) in diameter.

The sap is toxic to animals. It is not considered poisonous to humans but should not be ingested.
