• Water: Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry between waterings. Dracaena are sensitive to overwatering, so be sure the pot drains well. Reduce watering in winter.
• Humidity & Temperature: Average indoor humidity is fine. Ideal temperatures range from 65–80°F (18–27°C). Keep away from cold drafts or sudden temperature drops.
• Soil & Fertilizer: Use a well-draining potting mix. Fertilize every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer.
• Maintenance: Remove any yellow or brown leaves to keep the plant looking fresh. Rotate occasionally to encourage even growth.
