Hawaiian Sunshine Dracaena Care

A watering requirements of a dracaena plant are fairly simple. As an overall low-maintenance houseplant, its soil and leaves simply need to stay moist. This can be achieved with regular misting and watering several times per week. Ensure a soil fully dries between watering and never gets soggy.

To prune a plant to encourage bushy new growth, snip off the dominant buds on select stems, staggering the cuts to encourage varied growth.

Use a balanced fertilizer with a 10-10-10 formula.

Avoid placing them under the full direct sun.

The ideal blend of soil for plant growth is called loam. Often referred to as topsoil or black dirt by landscape companies, loam is a mixture of sand, clay, and silt.

Dracaenas prefer daytime house temperatures between 60 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit, and nighttime temperatures that are about 10 degrees cooler. These tropical plants can grow outdoors only in frost-free conditions.

Use a ceramic porous pot with a good drainage.

The Dracaena is a slightly poisonous plant. Eating leaves from some of our four-legged friends can lead to stomach problems.
