How to care for Dracaena goldieana

Water

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

Soil

Dracaena goldieana 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.

Lighting

Dracaena goldieana 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.

Dormancy

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

Humidity

Dracaena goldieana 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.

Fertilizer

The growth of Dracaena goldieana 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.
