Care and maintenance of Dracaena Houseplants

I have these two large plants, they are gorgeous but I don’t know how to care for them. They were given to me from a girl who had them in her salon, I’m sending you pics if I did this right. Would like to keep them healthy, help!

Hi Connie,

These are great plant gifts. The first plant is a Dracaena Marginata and the second is a Dracaena Janet Craig. They are both easy care houseplants that thrive on neglect. The Dracaena Janet Craig is an excellent low light plant. A few things to be careful of: When in doubt, do not water. Leaves get brown tips from too much plant food and chemicals in the water. Always dilute your plant food to 1/2 the recommended strength and never fertilize a Dracaena in the fall or winter. If you water is high in fluoride or chlorine, allow it to sit out over night before using it. Never use water that has passed through a water softener, too salty.
