Dracaena fragrans 'Janet Craig' - dragon tree & pot cover combination

  • Position: prefers light shade, but close to a window
  • Soil: good potting compost
  • Rate of growth: average to fast
  • Hardiness: tender (indoors only)
  • Current height: approximately 90cm (including pot)
  • Pot cover: includes a 20cm pot cover

    Relatively compact and slow growing, the foliage of this easy to grow houseplant is rich green and lustrous, so adds an exotic feel to the indoor planting scheme. It's one of the best for darker areas in the house too, so perfect for hallways, where its upright habit will not have too big an impact on your comings and goings.

  • Home care: Water well in the growing season, but less so in winter. Misting the leaves with water will help keep the humidity levels high, as well as keeping the leaves dust-free. Repot in spring every couple of years and keep temperatures above 10°C in winter.
