Origin
Dracaena fragrans originates from the tropical regions of West and Central Africa. In its natural habitat, it grows as part of the undergrowth in rainforests and can develop into a small tree in the wild. Since the 19th century, Dracaena fragrans has been cultivated worldwide as a pot plant.
Characteristics
Dracaena fragrans mix 8/tray consists of various cultivars with different leaf colours and shapes. The leaves are elongated and are arranged in a spiral along the stem. The plant has an upright growth form and a thick, woody trunk. The colour variations in the mix include green, yellow, and sometimes cream-coloured stripes or edges on the leaves. Dracaena fragrans has glossy leaves, which may vary in length and width depending on the variety.
Care
Dracaena fragrans grows best at a constant room temperature with adequate light, but should be kept out of direct sunlight. The plant requires moderate watering and the potting soil should be kept slightly moist, ensuring no water remains at the bottom of the pot. Regularly removing dust from the leaves will support healthy growth. For best results, use a well-draining potting soil. With the right care, Dracaena fragrans can thrive for many years.
