Dracaena goldieana
Rare Dracaena with broad, oval leaves marked by deep green tones and bold bands of lime and yellow, giving it a striking, almost camo like appearance. Native to tropical West Africa, this species grows in warm, humid forest environments where light is filtered and consistent. It has a more lush and tropical look compared to the upright, narrow leaf Dracaenas most people are familiar with, making it a standout piece in any collection.
Light 🌞
Bright, indirect light is best to maintain its vibrant pattern. It can tolerate moderate light, but avoid direct sun which can scorch the leaves.
Watering 💧
Water when the top portion of soil dries out. Keep soil lightly moist but never soggy, as this plant is sensitive to overwatering.
Soil 🕳️
Use a well draining indoor potting mix that still retains some moisture. A mix with added perlite helps improve drainage.
Fertilizing 🧪
Feed once a month during spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer. Reduce feeding during fall and winter.
Repotting 🪴
Repot every 2 to 3 years or when the plant becomes root bound. It prefers to be slightly snug in its pot.
