She lets her actions do all the talking!
Originated from South-east Africa, the Dracaena Compacta is striking, slender and a very low maintenance plant. Its grouped foliage is very close-knitted; from its compactness it can be a great addition to corner areas. It is a slow-growing plant, therefore ideal for people who are looking for a tree that stays its particular shape and size without it outgrowing its initial form.
Plant care
Light
Thrives well in medium light.
Water
Water the plant when the Soil is a few inches dry from the surface.
Soil
Needs to be well drained and fertile. Soil can be prepared using a mixture of cocopeats, normal garden Soil, vermiculite, perlite and compost in an equal proportion.
Fertilizer
Dracaenas should be fertilized with a water-soluble commercial houseplant fertilizer. Look for a fertilizer with a nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium ratio of 3:1:2 plus traces of zinc, sodium, manganese, copper and iron.
Humidity
Prefers average humidity.
