Light: Dracaena Draco prefers bright, indirect sunlight. It should be placed near a window to receive plenty of light, but avoid direct sunlight, which may burn the leaves.
Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix to prevent waterlogging, which can cause root rot. A mix suitable for cacti and succulents works well, or you can make your own by mixing regular potting soil with perlite or sand.
Watering: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Dracaena Draco is drought tolerant, so it is better to water slightly less than more. Reduce watering frequency during the winter when plant growth is slow.
Temperature and Humidity: Dracaena Draco prefers temperatures between 65°F and 80°F (18°C and 27°C). Protect the plant from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes, which can stress the plant. This plant tolerates average indoor humidity levels. If your home is very dry, especially during the winter, consider using a humidifier or placing the plant on a pebble tray filled with water to increase ambient humidity.
Fertilization: Fertilize lightly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half the recommended strength. Do not fertilize during the fall and winter when growth is slow.
