Description

Dracaena ‘Lemon Lime’

Genus: Dracaena

🌿 Bold, Bright, and Easy to Love!
Dracaena ‘Lemon Lime’ is a striking tropical houseplant known for its vibrant green, chartreuse, and cream-striped leaves that bring an instant pop of color to any indoor space. With its upright, bushy form and slow-growing nature, it’s perfect for adding architectural interest to corners, entryways, or bright offices.

🌞 Light Requirements

Thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate moderate conditions. Avoid direct sunlight as it may scorch the leaf edges or cause fading in the vibrant lime stripes.

💧 Watering

Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Dracaena ‘Lemon Lime’ prefers evenly moist soil, but it’s crucial not to overwater. Ensure the pot has drainage and empty saucers to prevent root rot.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

Keep in temperatures between 65–80°F. Protect from cold drafts. Enjoys moderate humidity but can adapt to average indoor levels. Misting occasionally helps in drier environments.

🌱 Soil & Potting

Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally with peat or coco coir and perlite. Repot every 2–3 years or when roots begin to outgrow the pot.

🐾 Pet Safety

⚠️ Caution: Toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. Keep out of reach of curious pets.

🪴 Styling Tip

Pair it with a white or neutral ceramic pot to accentuate the lemon-lime color palette. It also looks stunning grouped with darker-leafed plants for a bold contrast.
