Dracaena

Brief Description

Dracaena is a genus of about 120 species of trees and shrubs, known for their slender stems and long, arching leaves. They are popular as ornamental houseplants due to their striking appearance and air-purifying qualities.

Care Instructions

Dracaenas prefer bright, indirect light but can tolerate low light. Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Avoid overwatering, as they are sensitive to waterlogged soil. Fertilize every 2-4 weeks during the growing season with a balanced houseplant fertilizer.

Medicinal Value

Some species of Dracaena are used in traditional medicine for their anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, though they are primarily appreciated for their decorative value.
