Plant Care Guide for Dracaena sanderiana

Light Requirements: Dracaena sanderiana thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate low light, but its growth may slow, and the leaves may lose vibrancy. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves. It can also adapt to artificial lighting, making it ideal for offices and rooms with limited natural light.

Fertilising: Feed with a diluted, balanced, water-soluble fertiliser. Avoid over-fertilising, as this can cause the leaf tips to turn brown. The plant does not require fertilising during its dormant period.

Common Pests: Dracaena sanderiana is relatively pest-resistant but may attract mealybugs, spider mites, or aphids. Inspect regularly, especially the undersides of leaves. If needed, treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Avoid over-watering to prevent fungal issues.

General Care Tips: Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and encourage healthy growth. In water culture, ensure the water level covers the roots and change it regularly. Repot every 1-2 years to refresh the soil and allow for root expansion.
