This plant can grow up to 6 meters tall in its natural habitat, but generally remains smaller in pots as a houseplant.

The Dracaena fragrans 'Black Jack' is an easy plant to care for. The plant requires a location out of direct sunlight and benefits from a location with average to high humidity, but it can also survive in less humid areas.
