Dracaena Small Mina

Plant Care

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate low light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
• Water: Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry. Dracaenas are sensitive to overwatering, so make sure the soil drains well. Allow the soil to dry between waterings.
• Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Avoid temperatures below 50°F (10°C) and cold drafts.
• Humidity: Tolerates average humidity, but prefers moderate humidity. Mist occasionally or place on a humidity tray if the air is dry.
• Soil: Well-draining potting mix. A standard houseplant mix works well.
• Fertilizing: Feed monthly with a balanced, diluted fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer). Cut back on feeding in fall and winter.
• Pruning: Remove any yellow or damaged leaves to keep the plant looking tidy. You can also trim the top to encourage bushier growth.
• Pests: Dracaenas are generally pest-resistant but can attract spider mites or mealybugs. Treat with insecticidal soap if necessary.
• Toxicity: Toxic to pets if ingested.
