Dracaena plant...

The dracaena plant is a popular ornamental houseplant, grown both indoors and outdoors in subtropical climates. It reaches a height of about three feet indoors, and has a bushy tree type of look. Its glossy leaves can grow up to one foot long and a couple of inches wide.

Not only does its dramatic foliage with beautiful color patterns make a great focal point in any room, but dracaena can also help improve air quality. Wiping both the upper surfaces and undersides of the leaves regularly with a damp cloth allows the plant to exchange air freely.

Plant treatment for Dracaena is fairly easy, and they can even tolerate a certain amount of neglect. Best of all, dracaena helps to cleanse the air that we breathe.

Dracaena Massangeana

Dracaena fragrans massangeana or Dracaena massangeana is commonly referred to and widely used indoors as mass cane or corn plant. Compared to other houseplants, it is inexpensive, and the dracaena varieties are the least costly. The thick, woody canes and long strap-like leaves characterize mass cane. It is tolerant of low light conditions, even though moderate natural lighting is ideal. Dracaena massangeana grows slowly, so without needing much care, it can fit in a particular space for a long time.

Light: An ideal location is filtered indoor light (such as through a sheer curtain in front of a sunny window) or a semi-shade spot. Never put a dracaena plant in direct sunlight, as its foliage will become scorched by the rays.

Water: Less water than most indoor plants is needed for Dracaena. By misting the leaves with water and keeping the soil lightly misted (never soggy) as well as with good drainage, keep them hydrated. Before watering, always allow the top soil to dry out. Do not overwater, as root rot can cause it.

Over-watering or poor drainage may be suggested by drooping or yellowing leaves, but don't panic if you see the bottom leaves starting to turn yellow and dropping. With dracaena, it is natural to shed leaves in order to develop new ones.

These plants are susceptible to the fluoride that can be present in tap water, so when caring for this plant, it is important to use filtered water. Fluoride toxicity can be noted in leaves with dark brown and dead regions with yellow edges.

Temperatures: Dracaena prefers temperatures during the day that range from 65 to 78 ° F. Night temperatures can drop to around ten degrees cooler, but the plant will be harmed by cold drafts and temperatures below 55 ° F. Make sure you show the dracaena away from any equipment for heating or cooling. It's fine to see natural room humidity as the dracaena is such a hardy houseplant, but it prefers the greater humidity of its natural rainforest habitat. With a commercial humidifier or by putting the plant on a tray of pebbles, you can increase humidity, with water reaching just below the pebble tops.
