How To Care

Look for an area with filtered high to low light. Red Edged Dracaena can tolerate low light conditions but the accent colors will fade and they will grow slower. The good thing is they need less water.

Allow the soil to dry between waterings. Test the soil by pushing your finger about 1 inch below the surface. Water when it is dry to the touch. You are much more likely to over water a Dracaena that under water. These plants like a humid environment. So be sure to keep your houseplant away from drafts. If your home is very dry your plant may benefit from misting the leaves a couple times per week.

Keep your houseplant fertilized with our slow release fertilizer about twice per year. The fertilizer will feed the plant slowly over time and encourage growth.

Repot when you notice that the soil seems to be drying out every couple days or you see roots coming to the surface. These are indicators that your plant is becoming rootbound. Dracaena like to be somewhat rootbound though so don't give your plant too much room in a new pot.

If you want to control the size of your Dracaena or stagger your canes, simply prune it where you want new growth to start.
