Dracaenas



These plants have green leaves with red or white edges and grow slowly.

They will do well in bright or low light nut not direct sun. Some of these are in a north-east facing room that has a covered porch around all its windows. If you can read a newspaper in the room using only sunlight, it is probably bright enough for these plants. Too much light will bleach out their leaves. Move them to a less sunny location if this happens.

They like soil that is moist, so water when the top inch of soil is dry, letting water run out through the bottom of the pot. Do not let them dry out.

The white edged dracaena shown here seems to need more humidity than the red edged ones.
