Janet Craig(Dracaena deremensis 'Janet Craig') Growing Instructions

Light: Moderate to bright light. Keep plant out of direct sunlight which can scorch its leaves, leaving brown marks. Pale leaves can indicate that light is too low.

Water: 'Janet Craig' Dracaena will tolerate many abuses, but not soggy soil. Water thoroughly, allowing the top inch (2.5 cm) of the soil to dry out between waterings. Water less in winter, when light levels are lower and growth has slowed. Use a pot with a drainage hole to prevent wet soil. Overwatering will cause leaves to turn yellow and fall off.

Humidity: 40-50% relative humidity. Discover easy ways to increase humidity for your houseplants.

Temperature: Average room temperatures (65-75°F/18-24°C)

Soil: Any good-quality potting mix
