care tips
Do not place the plant in full sun. A dracaena does not need a lot of light. Nor does it need a lot of water. Water when the soil has dried out. Be very frugal with fertiliser: a little less than the amount indicated on a bottle of plant food. In autumn and winter, the plant is dormant: do not feed it then! The lower leaves will take on colour after a while. They can be pulled off the plant without any problems.
