🌞 Light & Placement
Thrives in bright, indirect light but also tolerates partial shade — ideal for German apartments with filtered sunlight. Avoid harsh direct midday sun to prevent leaf burn.
💧 Water & Humidity
Water moderately, allowing the top 2–3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Prefers average household humidity and adapts well to European indoor climates. Reduce watering in winter.
🪴 Soil & Potting
Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally a peat-free substrate blended with perlite or coco coir. Repot every 2–3 years in spring when roots outgrow the container.
🐾 Toxicity & Safety
Warning: Dracaena 'Lemon Lime' is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. Keep out of reach of curious pets.
🌱 Growth & Propagation
This Dracaena can reach up to 2 meters indoors over time. Propagation is easy via stem cuttings placed in water or soil. Trim older leaves for a tidy look.
📆 Seasonal & Special Care
During spring and summer, feed monthly with a balanced liquid fertilizer. In winter, let the plant rest and reduce watering. Wipe leaves occasionally to keep them glossy and dust-free.
