DRACENA LEMON LIME
LIGHT
Your Dracaena Lemon Lime prefers medium indirect sunlight but can survive in low-light situations. Pale bleached leaves usually indicate the plant is getting too much light. Pale leaves, slow growth, and small new leaves indicate it is not getting enough light.
WATER
Water when the top 75% of the soil is dry. Water until liquid flows through the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot and discard any water that has accumulated in the saucer.
HUMIDITY
Your Dracaena does not require any additional humidity but will enjoy occasional misting.
TEMPERATURE
Your Dracaena Lemon Lime prefers temperatures between 60-75 degrees.
FOOD
Feed once a month during the spring and summer with a liquid fertilizer for indoor plants.
TOXICITY
Not toxic to humans. Moderately toxic to pets, typically causing mild mouth irritation, stomach indigestion, and possible vomiting.
ADDITIONAL CARE
Look out for a common problem called ‘tipping’ when the tips of the leaves dry out and turn brown. This can be caused by a variety of issues like overwatering, too much fertilizer, etc. The most common cause is tap water, which contains salts, chlorine, and fluoride. If you do not have a filtration system, leaving the tap water in an open container overnight before watering can help remove some of the chlorine and fluoride or use rainwater.
