General Care Tips for Dracaena Plants:
- Light: Most Dracaena varieties do well in bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light can cause the colors to fade.
- Watering: Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Dracaenas are relatively drought-tolerant but prefer to be on the drier side rather than too wet.
- Humidity: Dracaenas can adapt to a range of humidity levels, but they generally prefer moderate to high humidity.
- Temperature: They thrive in warm temperatures, ideally between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
- Fertilization: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) to promote healthy growth and vibrant foliage.
