Dracaena fragrans

Dracaena fragrans features long, lance-shaped leaves that grow in a rosette formation at the top of its tall, cane-like stems. The leaves are typically dark green with yellow or cream-colored stripes running along the edges or in the center, creating an eye-catching contrast. As the plant matures, it may produce clusters of fragrant white flowers, followed by small orange berries. This Dracaena variety is a versatile and relatively low-maintenance plant, making it a popular choice for indoor spaces. It thrives in medium to bright indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Dracaena fragrans is known for its ability to purify the air, removing toxins such as formaldehyde and benzene. In terms of care, Dracaena fragrans prefers well-draining soil and should be watered moderately, allowing the top few inches of soil to dry out between waterings. It is important to avoid overwatering, as excessive moisture can lead to root rot. Regular dusting or wiping of the leaves helps maintain their glossy appearance and allows for efficient photosynthesis. With its elegant foliage and tolerance for various light conditions, Dracaena fragrans is a popular choice for adding a touch of greenery and visual interest to homes, offices, and other indoor spaces. Its upright growth and attractive leaves make it a versatile and easy-to-care-for plant that brings a sense of natural beauty and serenity to any environment.
