The Dracaena fragrans 'Tornado' originates from Africa, more specifically in West Africa. Here the plant grows in the wild, especially in tropical rainforests. However, it is not just a plant that grows in the wild, the Dracaena fragrans 'Tornado' is also extensively cultivated for domestic use.

The Dracaena fragrans 'Tornado' is a green houseplant. This plant is recognisable by its twisting movement in the leaf, hence the added 'Tornado' to its name. The leaves have a dark green colour with a glossy finish and grow on long, slender stems. The stems of the 'Tornado' can reach a height of up to 6 metres, but when growing in a pot they usually remain smaller.
Care
When caring for the Dracaena fragrans 'Tornado', it is important to know that this plant does not tolerate too much water well. To prevent rings on leaves, it is important to water the plant with lime-free water. In terms of light, the 'Tornado' does well in a place with partial shade and can't tolerate direct sunlight. It is also necessary to repot the plant once every three years to promote growth and to give it fresh soil.
