Origin
The Dracaena fragrans 'Malaika' 20/tray is a variety of Dracaena fragrans, a plant species native to Africa. This specific variant was developed and cultivated in the Netherlands. Dracaena fragrans is often found in the wild in the tropical rainforests of Africa, but due to its visual appeal and easy care, it is also globally popular as a houseplant.

Characteristics
The Dracaena fragrans 'Malaika' 20/tray is characterised by its long, narrow, pointed leaves which are dark green in colour with a clear yellow stripe in the middle. The plant is a slow-growing species and can eventually reach several meters in height. The Dracaena fragrans 'Malaika' 20/tray rarely produces flowers, but when it does, these typically come in the form of fragrant white blossoms. The branched, woody trunk provides the plant with stability and an exotic appearance.

Care
The Dracaena fragrans 'Malaika' 20/tray requires relatively little care. The plant prefers indirect sunlight and cannot cope well with direct sunlight, as this can scorch the leaves. The plant has average water needs, where it is important to keep the soil lightly moist, but not soaked. Overwatering can cause root rot. Furthermore, the plant is resistant to a relatively broad variation of indoor temperatures. Regular feeding with a balanced plant food promotes growth and the maintenance of the vibrant leaf colours.
