Dracena Corn Plant Maintenance?

Dracaena Fragrans is a tropical plant that requires climate-controlled conditions and can be grown indoors or outdoors in sheltered, somewhat shady locations. It thrives in loose, moist potting soil with good drainage. To care for the mass cane plant (Dracaena massangeana), grow it in well-draining potting soil and high humidity. Water the plant when the soil is partially dry.

Dracaena fragrans is an easy-to-care-for house plant with long, wide leaves that can reach 40cm in length. It is produced at the top of a thick, tree-like stem. The plant grows best in temperatures between 60-75 degrees F (16-24 degrees C) and prefers bright, indirect light. To ensure its health, place the plant near an east-facing window and filter bright sunlight through a sheer curtain for south- or west-facing windows.

Dracaena plants can tolerate low light levels, but leaves may lose some of their attractive variegation if light levels are too low. To care for the plant, plant it in a well-draining, rich potting mix and place it in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight and ensure the soil is well-drained. Reduce watering in late summer and check the plant once a week.

In spring through fall, keep the soil moist but not soggy. In winter, allow the top 2 inches (5 cm) of soil to dry out between waterings. These plants benefit from a little “drying time” between waterings, so water well and wait for the top inch of the soil to dry out before watering again.

In summary, Dracaena Fragrans and Mass Cane Plants require care to maintain their lush appearance and overall health. They thrive in a variety of conditions and should be kept in a well-draining, rich potting mix.
