The Dirt
Native to Africa, Southern Asia, and Northern Australia. Dracaena is derived from Ancient Greek meaning female dragon. Dracaena’s grow upright and the stem is called cane. These houseplants can increase to be 10ft in height. In order to propagate or control the height you will need to cut the top of the cane. Not harmful to humans but toxic for animals. The lower leaves may fall off, but that is just the nature of the plant, don’t overly worry.
Shade
This plant likes a spot that gets low light or no direct sunlight at all, few plants are ok with this light condition. Pick a room with a north facing window, or a spot far from a bright window.
Low
Water every three weeks. Let soil dry up before watering. Feel the soil, top layer should be dry, if not dry, wait two days. If the soil still is wet you risk giving the plant too much water, you don’t want it to rot.
Pet Toxic
Only when ingested it may cause mild oral and gastrointestinal upsetness. Keep out of reach from pets and small children.

Care Tips
The soil should not be soggy, but moist. If overwatered the leaves might become yellow and it might result in root rot
Dracaena’s are fairly disease resistant but can get the occasional pest when the temperatures are hot or when air is too dry. The pests hide in the nodes under the leaves so keep an eye out and spray them off with warm water if seen
When watering, aim for the soil, so that the roots receive the water and it does not get stuck in the nods. If so, rot can appear
