Description
Dracaena fragrans 'White Variegated' is an elegant indoor plant distinguished by its broad, slightly blue-grey green leaves adorned with striking white stripes down the centre. This evergreen cultivar brings a touch of sophistication to indoor spaces, thriving in bright, indirect light conditions. With a slow growth habit, it typically reaches heights of 1 to 2 metres and a width of approximately 50 cm, making it ideal for pots and enhancing interior décor with its lush, arching foliage.
In Perth's climate, position Dracaena 'White Variegated' in a well-lit area away from direct sunlight to prevent leaf scorch. Plant it in well-draining, slightly moist soil, allowing the top inch to dry out between waterings to avoid overwatering. Maintain indoor temperatures between 18°C and 24°C, and provide occasional misting or use a humidity tray to increase humidity, especially during drier months. Fertilise with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 6–8 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) to promote healthy growth. Regularly wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and enhance photosynthesis.
