Plant Care Guide

Light: Dracaena fragrans prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. However, in lower light, growth may slow, and the plant may lose some of its vibrant colour. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.

Fertilising: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertiliser to promote healthy growth.

Common Pests: Dracaena fragrans can be susceptible to pests such as spider mites, aphids, and mealybugs. If you notice pests, treat them promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.

General Care: This plant is relatively low-maintenance. Wipe the leaves occasionally to remove dust, which helps improve its photosynthesis efficiency. Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves to keep the plant looking fresh.

Lighting: Bright Filtered Light

Spider mites: These pests can cause leaves to appear stippled or yellowed, and the plant may lose its leaves. Spider mites thrive in dry conditions, so increasing humidity levels and regularly misting the plant can help prevent them..
