Horty Hints

Ditch the Droop! Although these plants prefer to be a little on the drier side, too dry will cause leaves to droop and drop. Water when the top of the soil starts to dry out.

Manage and Maintain! inconsistent levels of water, temperature and light can damage some leaves beyond repair. Thankfully these can be easily pulled out.

Shake gently and wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust. Avoid using leaf shine on these plants.

Light

Dracaena reflexa need moderate to bright indirect light, however, avoid direct sunlight. Ideal for office interiors with fluorescent lighting. If kept in low light conditions reduce watering to prevent root rot.

Watering
