Dracaena (Dragon Plants)

Dracaena plants, also called Dragon Plants, give you tall stems and clear leaf lines. The genus now includes plants previously under the Sansevieria genus). You get steady growth in most rooms. Place your Dracaena in bright, filtered light. Keep the soil slightly moist. Let the top layer dry before you water again. Wipe the leaves when dust builds. This helps the plant stay healthy. Turn the pot once a week so the plant grows straight.

You can place Dracaena outside in the UK during warm summer months. Choose light shade. The plant offers shelter for small insects. These insects support local birds. Bring the plant inside when nights drop near 12°C.

Dracaena suits you if you want height without complex care. You get clean structure and stable growth. It works well in living rooms, offices, and hallways. It also suits busy homes that need low care plants.
