🌿 Botanical Name: Dracaena spp.

🐾 Pet Warning: Toxic to cats and dogs if ingested, causing symptoms like vomiting, drooling, and lack of appetite. It is advisable to keep this plant out of pets' reach.

💧 Care Level: Easy to Moderate. Dracaenas are relatively low-maintenance and adaptable to a wide range of indoor conditions.

📏 Approximate Size: Dracaenas can vary in size, with some species capable of reaching up to 10 feet (3 meters) in height, while others remain small and compact.

Description: Dracaena species are popular houseplants with a variety of leaf colors and patterns, typically featuring long, strappy leaves. They are favored for their air-purifying qualities and architectural form.

🌞 Light: Prefers moderate to bright indirect light but can adapt to lower light conditions. Variegated varieties may require brighter light to maintain their leaf patterns.

💧 Water: Water when the topsoil becomes dry to the touch. Dracaenas are drought-tolerant and sensitive to overwatering, which can lead to root rot.

💦 Humidity: Tolerates average indoor humidity levels but appreciates occasional misting or a pebble tray with water for increased humidity.

🌡️ Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 60°F to 75°F (16°C to 24°C). Avoid exposure to cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F (10°C).

❄️ Hardiness: Not frost-tolerant. Best suited as an indoor plant except in tropical or subtropical climates where they can be grown outdoors.

🌱 Fertilizing: Fertilize every 6 weeks during the growing season with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. Reduce feeding in the fall and winter when growth slows.

🔄 Re-potting: Re-pot every 2 to 3 years or when the plant has outgrown its pot. Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot with adequate drainage holes.

🌱 Propagation: Propagate Dracaena by stem cuttings or by air layering. Cut a stem piece with a few leaves and allow the cut end to callous before planting in soil. Keep the soil moist and warm until new growth appears.
