Description

Native to West Africa, particularly regions of Cameroon and neighboring countries, Dracaena Massangeana thrives in the tropical rainforests where it enjoys warm temperatures, high humidity, and filtered sunlight. It has adapted well to indoor environments, making it a popular choice for homes and offices around the world.

Light
Dracaena Massangeana thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, as this can scorch the leaves. Inadequate light may result in leggy growth or loss of variegation in the foliage. Rotate the plant occasionally to ensure even growth.

Water
Allow the top inch of the soil to dry out between waterings, then water thoroughly until excess moisture drains from the bottom of the pot. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it’s essential to avoid waterlogged soil. Err on the side of underwatering rather than overwatering.

Reduce watering frequency during the winter months when the plant’s growth slows down.

Humidity
Dracaena Massangeana appreciates moderate to high humidity levels, which mimic its native tropical environment. Increase humidity by misting the leaves regularly or placing a humidity tray filled with water and pebbles beneath the pot. Avoid placing the plant near heaters or air conditioning vents, as they can dry out the air.

Soil
Plant Dracaena Massangeana in well-draining potting soil amended with perlite or coarse sand to improve drainage. Repot the plant every two to three years or when it outgrows its current container, typically in spring or early summer.

Fertilization
Feed the plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Refrain from fertilizing during the winter months when the plant’s growth slows down.

Pruning
Remove any yellowing, damaged, or dead leaves as soon as they appear to maintain the plant’s overall health and appearance. Prune the stems back if they become too leggy or top-heavy, cutting just above a node to encourage branching.
