Dracaena surculosa

This slow-growing evergreen plant is typically grown as a house plant for its stunning variegated foliage and tropical look. Thin branches produce leaves that are dark green with spots of cream. New leaves appear as tightly rolled cones.  Trim old stems occasionally to rejuvenate growth and to keep the plant at the desired height.
Dracena requires bright but not direct light and the leaves will brown or drop if the light is too high or low. Keep the soil moist during the regular growing season and cut back in the winter. Do not over pot as it likes to be snug in its pot. Does best if provided with humidity as misting or sitting on a pebble tray with water.
Pest: Root mealybugs can stunt growth.


3-6 hours of sun per day, with protection from intense mid-day sun

Water moderately, allowing the top 3cm to dry out between watering.
