•   Dracaena Tornado is an unusual, exotic houseplant with very showy foliage. It has long, slender dark green leaves with lime-yellow edges that grow in spiral clusters along the stems, resembling a tornado shape, hence the name!
  This plant has a slow to moderate growth rate and can reach heights of 4 to 6 feet when grown indoors. It can be grown as a single specimen plant or combined with other plants in stunning plant arrangements. Its unique, intriguing foliage brings a touch of nature and fits in different indoor settings and décor styles.
  
  Dracaena Tornado is relatively easy to care for and can make a wonderful houseplant for beginners. This plant also tolerates different lighting conditions including moderately low light rooms.
  
  As a Dracaena, Tornado stands among the best air-purifying houseplants and is recommended by NASA for its ability to efficiently cleanse indoor air and eliminate harmful airborne pollutants such as benzene and formaldehyde.
  
  
  
• Tornado thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions, making it adaptable to various indoor environments.
  
  This plant has a medium watering demand and can be slightly drought-tolerant. Water only when the topsoil is dry to the touch.
  
  Dracaena Tornado loves well-draining soil with some organic matters like coco coir. Adding some perlite to the mix to increase aeration and drainage is recommended.
  
  This plant loves warm, stable temperatures between 65º F- 75º F. It does not like temperatures below 50º F so protect it from cold drafts and freezing temperatures.
  
  To boost growth, you can feed your Dracaena Tornado once a month during the growing season in spring-summer with a liquid houseplant fertilizer.
  
  Dracaenas contain saponins that can be toxic if ingested. Keep this plant out of reach of children and pets.
