Dracaena Reflexa Pleomele 150cm

1. Light Requirements

• Ideal Lighting: It prefers bright, indirect light. Place it near a window with filtered sunlight.
• Low Light Tolerance: It can adapt to lower light conditions but may grow more slowly and lose some of its leaf coloration.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves.

2. Watering

• Frequency: Water when the top 2–3 cm (1 inch) of soil feels dry. Usually, once every 1–2 weeks depending on conditions.
• Drainage: Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water from accumulating and causing root rot.
• Signs of Overwatering: Yellowing leaves or a rotting stem base can indicate too much water.
• Humidity: It prefers moderate humidity. Mist the leaves occasionally, especially in dry environments.

3. Soil

• Type: Use light, well-draining soil, such as regular houseplant potting mix or a combination of peat moss, sand, and perlite.
• pH Level: Slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0–7.0) is preferred.

4. Temperature

• Optimal Range: Grows best in temperatures between 18–27°C (65–80°F).
• Avoid Cold: It’s sensitive to temperatures below 15°C (59°F).

5. Fertilization

• Use a balanced houseplant fertilizer every two months during the growing season (spring and summer).
• Reduce or stop fertilizing in fall and winter when the plant’s growth slows.

6. Leaf Care

• Wipe dust off the leaves with a damp cloth to keep them clean and healthy-looking.
• Trim off yellow or wilted leaves to encourage new growth.

7. Repotting

• Repot every 2–3 years or when you see roots emerging from the drainage holes. Choose a pot slightly larger than the current one.
