Dracaena Compactum Plant in 4" Nursery Pot

Allow the top 50% of the soil to dry out before watering. The lower the light, the less often a dracaena needs water. Fluoride, chlorine, or salt in the water causes brown leaf tips and yellow spots on the leaves.

Dracaenas need very little plant food. Feed once or twice a year in the spring and summer with a balanced houseplant food diluted to 1/2 the recommended strength. Too much fertilizer causes leaf tip burn.

Dracaena plants grow slowly in low light, and grow faster in medium light. When the light is extremely low, new leaves are smaller and narrower. Direct sunlight outside for even a few minutes, burns the leaves.
