How to care for the Dracena Deremensis

• This sort of tropical plant likes standard potting soil that won’t be too soggy. If you have a drip-tray under the pot, empty it as soon as the water has all drained through after a watering.
• When watering, try to use non-fluoridated water as the plant is sensitive to fluoride and salts. It also prefers the water it receives to be cool to warm instead of cold.
• When the humidity is low such as in the wintertime, you can use a spray bottle and spray in a mist-like fashion over the leaves.
• The plant will require repotting once the root ball fills the pot. Make sure the new pot is bigger than the one the indoor plant has just had.
• The best light conditions for this plant are bright, indirect light. It doesn’t like the cold so make sure the night-time temperatures don’t fall below 50°F.
• You can fertilize the plant during its growing time. A slow-release fertilizer can be good for this plant.
