Plant Care:

• Light: Place your Dracaena Surculosa in a location with bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.

• Humidity: The Gold Coast Dracaena prefers moderate humidity levels. Mist the leaves occasionally or use a humidifier to increase humidity.

• Pruning: Prune your Dracaena Surculosa to maintain its shape and remove any yellow or damaged leaves.
• Repotting: Repot your plant every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix.
