Plant Care
Everything you need to know to keep your plant happy and thriving.
Light
Medium Light
Water
Low to moderate watering. Allow the top half of the compost to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly, then allow excess water to drain away. Water less frequently during winter.
Soil
Free-draining houseplant compost with added perlite to improve drainage while retaining light moisture.
Repot
Repot every 2–3 years in spring or when rootbound. Move up one pot size only. Mature plants benefit from refreshing the top layer of compost each spring.

💡 Joe's Top Tip
Although it tolerates lower light levels, bright, indirect light encourages stronger growth and healthier foliage. Wipe the leaves regularly to remove dust and rotate the pot every few weeks for even growth.
⚠️ Common Mistake
Most people struggle with Dracaenas by overwatering. They cope far better with slightly dry compost than constantly wet roots.
