Dracaena

Brief Description

Dracaena is a genus of about 120 species of trees and succulents characterized by long, arching leaves and a woody stem. They are commonly used as houseplants due to their attractive foliage and air-purifying qualities.

Care Instructions

Dracaena prefers indirect sunlight and should be watered when the top inch of soil is dry. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. It thrives in well-draining soil and can tolerate a variety of indoor conditions but dislikes cold drafts.

Medicinal Value

Some species of Dracaena have been used in traditional medicine, although they are mostly grown for ornamental purposes. They may have air-purifying qualities, helping to remove toxins from the air.
