White Jewel Dracaena,
Dracaena deremensisPLANT CARE GUIDE
Placement
The White Jewel Dracaena will do well in a room that gets a medium amount of natural light or in a semi-shady spot. Bright, sunny, or overly warm windows should be avoided. Rotate the plant occasionally to encourage even growth.
Light Requirements
The White Jewel Dracaena needs low to medium, indirect sunlight. Never place the plant in direct sun, as the rays can scorch the leaves.
Watering Needs
The White Jewel Dracaena requires less water than most indoor plants. When watering, water lightly and slowly from above with purified water, allowing water to soak through to the roots, then tip out any excess water. Always allow the top 1 inch of soil to dry out before watering. Soggy soil should be avoided. Note: The White Jewel Dracaena is very sensitive to fluoride in water. It is best to water the plant with distilled water.
Temperature Preferences
Does well at room temperature between 60°F - 77°F. Cold temperatures should be avoided.
Humidity Tolerance
Does well at normal (about 40% - 60%) humidity levels.
Repotting Needs
The plant can live happily in the provided pot for up to 2 years. Check if the plant is ready to be repotted by touching the soil and seeing if it has become loose, or if the roots have become overgrown. Repot using a rich, well-draining soil. Repot every 2 or 3 years in the Spring. When your plant is ready to be repotted, you can follow our simple how-to guide.
Unhealthy Plant Signs
Browning leaves may be a sign of overwatering, or too much fluoride in the water. Drooping or yellowing leaves could indicate over-watering or poor drainage. It is normal for the Dracaena to drop leaves in order to grow new ones.
Toxicity
If ingested, may cause a harmful reaction in pets.
