Plant Care Guide
Light
Dracaena Carmen plants are adaptable to different light conditions. They can thrive in low to bright, indirect light but prefer bright, indirect light for optimal growth. Avoid exposing them to direct sunlight, which can scorch their leaves.
Water
Allow the top inch (2.5 cm) of the soil to dry out before watering. Water thoroughly when needed, and ensure proper drainage to prevent overwatering.
Level of Care
Easy! Just don't place your plant in too much sun or overwater.
Air Purifying
The NASA Clean Air Study has ranked Dracaenas as one of the most efficient groups of houseplants that remove toxins from the air we breathe.
Fertilizer
Feed every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring through early autumn) with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer. Reduce or eliminate fertilization during the winter months.
Temperature
Maintain a warm and consistent temperature between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C) to ensure the well-being of your Dracaena Carmen.
Soil
Plant your Dracaena Carmen in a well-draining potting mix, such as one composed of peat-based soil with perlite or orchid bark.
Pruning & Propagation
Trim any yellow or damaged leaves as needed to promote healthy growth and maintain the plant's appearance.
Pet Friendly
Sorry! Mildly toxic if consumed.
