Dracaena goldieana aka Central African Dracaena

Central African Dracaena’s native range is Africa to Southern Asia and Australia.

Central African Dracaena does best in dry soil and should only be watered sparingly.

Central African Dracaena loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

Central African Dracaena can survive in low light conditions, making them ideal for rooms that are far from windows or other light sources. However, for best results, place the plant less than 6 feet from a south-facing window to ensure it receives enough light.

Central African Dracaena thrives in dry environments, but if you provide extra humidity or mist your plant, the lingering water on its leaves could create an ideal environment for certain fungal diseases.

The growth of Central African Dracaena is gradual and it doesn't necessitate any additional fertilizers. Replacing the soil in its pot once a year should suffice to provide the plant with sufficient nutrition. It's important to keep in mind that plants derive their energy from the sun's rays, not fertilizers.

During the wintertime, it's common for Central African Dracaena to go dormant and their growth may slow down, so waterings should be spaced out more.
