Depending on the species, the Dracaena can vary in size from modest houseplants to impressive indoor trees that can reach several meters in height. With proper care and enough space, some species can grow up to 3 meters indoors, creating a majestic presence.

Toxicity

It is important to note that the Dracaena can be mildly toxic to pets and humans if ingested. The plant contains saponins, which can cause stomach and intestinal complaints. It is advisable to keep the Dracaena out of the reach of children and pets to avoid accidents.

Care of the Dracaena

Water requirements

The Dracaena requires relatively little water, which makes it an excellent plant for those who cannot spend time with their green friends every day. It is advisable to allow the soil to dry out between waterings as overwatering can cause root rot. On average, the plant needs water once every 1-2 weeks, depending on the humidity and climate.

Location

This plant does best in light to partially shaded environments, without direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. A spot near a window that receives filtered light is ideal for the Dracaena to grow and flourish.

Although the Dracaena is relatively resistant to disease, it can sometimes be affected by pests such as spider mites, especially under dry conditions. Maintaining adequate humidity and inspecting the plant regularly helps identify and treat problems early.
