Lighting: These plants enjoy medium to bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct sun which is likely to cause sunburnt foliage.

Irrigation: Dracaenas typically have low to medium water needs. Allow the topsoil to dry between thorough irrigations. Water until liquid runs from drainage holes at the bottom of the pot and discard excess water. Do not allow your plant to sit in standing water as it will lead to root rot. Allowing soil to slightly dry permits oxygen to reach the roots.

Humidity: This plant is happy in average household humidity levels.
