Garden Goods Direct | Dracaena Lemon Lime

Dracaena Lemon Lime is a bright, zippy house plant that cleans the indoor air of toxins. The colorful stripes of green and white variegated leaves are broad and arc slightly, creating a graceful display of foliage. Dracaena Lemon Lime plants are fairly easy-to-grow houseplants that enjoy bright indirect lighting conditions. The light requirements of these neon-hued plants are not too strict though, and the Dracaena will easily adapt to medium and fluorescent lighting. Growing your plant in well-draining potting soil and allowing the soil to dry in between waterings is key to protecting your plant from root rot. Water the plant infrequently for best results. Dracaena plants also enjoy high humidity levels. If your plant is exhibiting brown tips, that is a sign that your Dracaena wants more moisture in the air. Yellowing and brown leaves on the lower half of your houseplant are normal, as the plant loses older leaves with age. We recommend applying a well-balanced fertilizer to your Lemon Lime plant when it is actively growing. Typically this will be in the spring and summer, and as temperatures drop your plant will likely go dormant. The Dracaena’s tolerance of a wide range of conditions makes it an excellent choice for first-time houseplant owners.
