Dracaena 160 cm

The houseplant Dracaena is a graceful and easily recognizable plant, thanks to its bright, striped leaves that resemble swords. It’s perfect for decorating interiors, adding a touch of exoticism and elegance. Dracaena is undemanding in terms of care and grows well in bright but diffuse light. It also acts as an air purifier and can improve indoor air quality. Caring for a Dracaena is quite simple, making it an excellent choice for beginner gardeners.

Location and Lighting: It's best to place the dracaena pot 1–2 meters from east- and west-facing windows, as it prefers bright light but not direct, scorching midday sun. If the plant is placed in too much shade, its leaves may turn pale. However, species with dark green leaves thrive in partial shade. Remember to periodically rotate the dracaena so that its light exposure is different, to avoid developing a lopsided plant. Temperature: Standard room temperature is 18–23°C. Since the plant originates from a continental climate, the dracaena palm responds well to temperature fluctuations, and in winter, some dracaena species can tolerate temperatures of 12–13°C. Watering: A happy medium is important. Avoid over-drying the soil, nor should it be overwatered. The key is to allow the soil to dry out briefly between waterings. In summer, it is enough to water generously 2 times a week; in winter, at low temperatures, reduce to 1 time every 10-12 days."
