The eye-catching Dracaena Twister features swirls of gleaming, deep green leaves that spiral as they grow upward on a cane stem. This houseplant is low light tolerant, but prefers to be kept in bright indirect light with the soil evenly moist.
Water when the soil starts to dry out at the top, water well and allow to drain thoroughly. Dracaena are relatively drought tolerant. Do not over water as this will cause the leaf tips to blacken.
Prune it back if it grows too tall. If you want, you can propagate the stem cuttings for more plants.
Your Dracaena Twister will do well in average humidity household humidity but will appreciate regular misting. This plant likes normal room temperatures between 65-80 degrees. They do not do well in temperatures below 55 degrees. Cold winter drafts and blowing heaters can damage the leaves.
The short answer is no. Dracaena is toxic to both cats and dogs. Or rather saponin, a chemical compound that is found in the plant, is toxic to them. A dog eating dracaena leaves can result in vomiting (sometimes with and sometimes without blood), diarrhea, weakness, drooling, loss of appetite, and depression.
