Dracaena Massangeana Tree

You can hardly ever go wrong with the adaptable and forgiving Dracaena Massangeana. Commonly known as Corn Plant due to its resemblance to the leaves of a cornstalk, it is one of the Dracaena family's most popular species. Their stalky stems and long, yellowish lime-green striped leaves trade in the monotonous green for a fun and refreshing look.

General

Dracaena Massangeana are certified by NASA as natural air purifiers that can effectively clean benzene, formaldehyde, trichloroethylene, and carbon dioxide from the air.

With an ability to tolerate lower light, this easy-to-grow Plant is an ideal choice fordecorating your office.

Dracaena gets its name from an ancient Greek word, 'Drakaina', which means a female dragon due to their red resin in the stems. Centuries ago, this resin of Dracaena was used as dyes, toothpaste, and in medicines. Even today, it's used in photoengraving and varnishing.

Your Plant can grow up to 4-6 feet in height as an indoor plant.

Sunlight

Your Dracaena Massangeana will thrive in moderate to bright indirect sunlight.

Never place a dracaena plant in direct sun, as the rays will scorch its foliage. But low light may cause the variegation of the leaves to fade and stunt the Plant's growth.

Plant growth may start to decline at temperatures below 13℃.

Watering

As your Dracaena Limelight is sensitive to root rot, you must only water your Plant only when the soil's top half is dry. This may amount to watering once or twice a week in summer. Reduce watering frequency to about 1 -2 times a month in the winter. To avoid root rot, water less frequently when growing under low light conditions.

Avoid fluoridated water, as fluoride can cause discolouration of the leaves.

While your Corn Plant will survive normal humidity levels, it prefers high humidity. You can increase humidity by misting it often, placing it near a humidifier, or using a pebble tray.

Soil

Your plant will thrive in a peaty, well-drained potting mix.

Keep Dracaena's soil wet but not damp.

A mix of coarse sand, orchid bark, or perlite in a standard well-draining houseplant soil would suffice. To avoid root rot, it is necessary to have proper drainage

Fertilizer

Your Dracaena Massangeana does not require fertilizers to thrive, but it can enhance their growth. In summers and autumn, you can feed your Plant once a month with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer at half strength.

However, you must withhold the use of fertilizers during the autumn and winter season.
