Dracanea Sun Ray Care

Dracaena require less water than most indoor plants. Keep them hydrated by misting the leaves with water and keeping the soil lightly misted (never soggy) as well with good drainage. Always allow the top soil to dry out before watering. Do not overwater, as it may cause root rot

The best time for pruning dracaena plants is when the plant is actively growing in spring and summer. If possible, avoid dracaena trimming while the plant is dormant in fall and winter. Be sure your cutting blade is sharp so cuts will be clean and even. Ragged cuts are unsightly and can invite disease.

Appropriate fertilization is also a part of how to care for a dracaena. Feed every two weeks in spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer. Reduce fertilization to once a month during fall. When growing a dracaena plant, stop feeding during winter months, as the plant benefits from a period of dormancy.

Filtered indoor light (such as through a sheer curtain in front of a sunny window) or a semi-shade spot is an ideal location.

Dracaena thrive in rich soil with plenty of organic material, such as a well-draining, peaty commercial potting soil.

When growing a dracaena plant, locate it in brightly filtered light, such as through a sheer curtain in front of a sunny window. Room temperatures of 60 to 70 degrees F. (15-21 C.) are best during the day, with night temperatures about ten degrees cooler.
