What you get

Care tips

• Light: Bright, indirect light keeps the stripes vivid. It tolerates some morning sun
• Water: Water when the top few centimetres of soil are dry. Avoid soggy soil
• Feeding: Feed monthly during the growing season
• Shaping: Trim leggy stems to encourage bushier growth

Pet note: Dracaenas are toxic to cats and dogs if eaten. Keep it out of reach of pets.
