Dracaena compacta (Lotus Bamboo, Straight, Multi-Head) (1pc, 60cmH) 多头荷花直竹 [06]

Dracaena compacta, commonly known as Lotus Bamboo, is a compact, attractive evergreen plant native to tropical Africa. It is a popular ornamental variety of the Dracaena family, prized for its dense, rosette-like arrangement of thick, dark green leaves that resemble bamboo shoots. The plant’s structure is visually appealing, with its upright, clustered growth habit and smooth, shiny leaves. Often used as a decorative houseplant or in garden landscapes, the Lotus Bamboo adds a tropical touch with minimal care. Its slow-growing nature and low-maintenance requirements make it ideal for both beginners and seasoned gardeners looking to enhance their indoor or outdoor spaces with a touch of greenery.

Plant Care Guide:

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, as this may scorch the leaves. Aim for 4–6 hours of indirect sunlight daily for optimal growth.

Fertilising: Feed with a balanced, liquid fertiliser to support healthy growth. Avoid over-fertilising, as this can lead to weak, leggy growth.

Pests: Common pests include mealybugs, scale insects, and spider mites. Regularly inspect the leaves for signs of infestation, and treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil when necessary. Ensure good air circulation around the plant to reduce pest problems.

General Care: Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves to maintain a neat appearance. Lotus Bamboo benefits from occasional cleaning of its glossy leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and enhance its shine.

Lighting: Bright Filtered Light

Thrips: Thrips are small, slender insects that range in size from 1-2 millimeters in length. They are often yellow or brown in color and have fringed wings. Thrips feed on the sap of plants, leaving behind silver or white patches on leaves, and can also transmit plant diseases..
Scale insects: Scale insects are small, immobile pests that infest plants by feeding on their sap. They can cause yellowing, stunted growth, and plant death. There are two main types of scale insects: armored scales and soft scales. Control methods include cultural practices such as pruning and improving plant health, as well as insecticides that are specifically labeled for use against scale insects..
