Care guide

SOIL & POTTING
Use a well-draining indoor potting mix that retains some moisture without becoming soggy. A blend with added perlite helps improve drainage and reduce the risk of root rot. Choose a pot with drainage holes and allow the top portion of soil to dry out between waterings.

FERTILIZING
Avoid fertilizing for the first 2–3 months after delivery to allow the plant to adjust and establish. Feed with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the spring and summer growing season. Dracaenas are sensitive to excess salts, so use a diluted formula and avoid fertilizing in fall and winter.

HUMIDITY & INDOOR TEMPERATURE
Tolerates average indoor humidity but benefits from slightly higher humidity to keep leaf edges from browning. Keep in temperatures between 65–80°F and protect from cold drafts, vents, or sudden temperature changes. Consistent indoor conditions help maintain its vibrant foliage.

Your plant ships in its nursery pot with the soil secured, packed so it stays steady on the way to you.
