Description

Dracaena Compacta, also known as the Compact dragon tree, belongs to the family of Agavaceae or Agavoideae. This plant is famous for its luscious foliage and its low-maintenance growth. It is the most loved variety in the Dracaena family.

Dracaenas are a darling in the indoor plants community for their easy-going nature and the drama they add to any space. The Compacta, as the name suggests, is a tightly groomed variety that does not change its shape and grows steadily over time making it ideal for many homes. Your go-to choice for areas in your home that have low light.

Plant Care

• Try to locate them near a window with filtered sun. Too little light will result in leaves losing their stripes.
• Keep evenly moist, but if you have to err, do so on the dry side. Keeping it too dry, however, will result in brown leaf tips. They prefer about 40% humidity. Use non-fluoridated water as they are sensitive to fluoride.
• Loose, well-drained potting mix.
• 15 – 25°C
• Fertilize lightly since the plants store nutrients in their canes. Use calcium supplements (chelated calcium or even gypsum) to prevent leaf-tip burn.
