Dracaena surculosa surculosa aka Gold Dust Dracaena

Gold Dust Dracaena’s native range is Africa to Southern Asia and Australia.

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

Gold Dust 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.

Gold Dust 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.

Gold Dust Dracaena prefers dry environments, so misting the plant to provide extra humidity and allow water to linger on the leaves can create an ideal environment for fungi that can be harmful.

The growth rate of Gold Dust Dracaena is slow and it doesn't necessitate additional fertilizing. By changing the soil in its pot annually, the plant should be provided with adequate nutrition. It is crucial to keep in mind that plants derive their energy from the sun, not fertilizers.

The toxicity level of this plant has not been officially confirmed by Ploi. If there is a possibility of ingestion of plant material with an uncertain toxicity by you, a family member, or a pet, it is advisable to seek the assistance of a medical professional.

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