Dracaena care guide
Dracaena marginata
Easy care⚠️ 🐾
Dracaena (Dracaena marginata) does best when watered about every 8 days. Let the top 2–3 cm of soil dry out before watering again; adjust the rhythm to season and light.
Place it in bright indirect light. Humidity needs are average room, and it appreciates misting roughly every 7 days. The comfortable temperature range is 18–25°C. During the growing season, feed it about every 30 days.
Care difficulty: easy — great for beginners.
⚠️ Pet safety: Dracaena is toxic to cats and dogs. Saponins — vomiting, lethargy (esp. in cats). Keep it out of reach, and if your pet chews it, contact a vet.
