    Dracaena Compacta - Piccolo

    Dracaena deremensis

    [ Pot Size: 4'' | Height: 8" - 10" ]
    The Dracaena Compacta is a low-maintenance evergreen that is especially good at removing formaldehyde and other toxins from the air. A tuft of short, dark-green leaves springs from a single stalk, giving the Dracaena Compacta a unique, topiary appearance as it grows. Preferring the soil to mostly dry out before being watered, the Dracaena Compacta is the perfect, low-fuss houseplant for people on the go.

    Care Guide

    water-plant-guide-iconwater-plant-guide-iconwater-plant-guide-icon
    Water

    About once every 10-14 days. Allow soil to mostly dry out, and water less often in winter. Water less if in low light. If brown tips occur on foliage, try filtered/distilled water that has less fluoride.

    Light / Temperature

    Medium, indirect sunlight is best but can tolerate low light as well. New growth may be smaller in low light. Avoid direct sunlight.

    pruning-plant-guide-icon
    Pruning

    Prune top foliage to maintain desired height. Can cut tall stalks and new growth will appear near the cut. Make major cuts in early spring. Trim brown tips with wet scissors. To propagate, use rooting hormone on stem cuttings in the summer.

    Level of Care

    Easy! Just don't put it in too much sun or overwater.

    soil-plant-guide-icon
    Soil

    Use a well-draining, All-Purpose potting soil. Can mix soil with lava rocks to improve drainage. Dracaenas like to be root-bound in pots with drainage holes.
