Compacta, as the name suggests, is a compact version of Dracaena fragrans. The branched version is grown to allow the development of branches and the dark green tropical foliage along the stems, creating a natural verdant look in contemporary interiors. Dracaena Compacta likes bright conditions and enjoys slightly raised humidity. Like all Dracaena it helps purify the surrounding air.
Dracaena fragrans Compacta – Branched Care & Info Guide
Horty Hints
Manage and Maintain! Inconsistent levels of water, temperature and light can damage some leaves beyond repair. Thankfully these can be torn in half lengthways and pulled out.
Too dry for too long! Not watering often enough will cause the tips to turn brown. If you are watering often, the issue is the humidity. Time to start spraying.
Tame the Tipping! Blackening of leaf tips and leaf edges is a sign that the plant has had too much water. Allow to dry out in-between waterings.
Light
Dracaena Compacta prefers medium to bright indirect light but, like most Dracaena, can tolerate a vast range of light levels, including partial shade. The darker the plant’s leaf, the more shade it can tolerate.
Watering
Water when the soil starts to dry out at the top, water well and allow to drain thoroughly. Dracaena are relatively drought tolerant. Do not overwater as this will cause the leaf tips to blacken.
Temperature
The Compacta does best in average household temperatures: between 16-24°C, but can cope with as low as 12°C for short periods.
Humidity
Dracaena are hardy houseplants and will do well in normal room humidity, however they do prefer higher humidity and will benefit from occasional misting.
Feed
Apply a weak dose of a fertiliser once or twice a month during the growing season.
