Plant in a BoxSent by our Trusted Yimbly Partner
Dracaenas, also known as dragon trees, are native to tropical africa or asia. Their name is derived from the greek word drakaina, meaning female dragon. When the plant is damaged, red resin flows out of the 'wound'. Known as dragon's blood, this resin has been used as medicine since ancient times. Today, it is often used in medicines for gastrointestinal complaints and dietary supplements. It can also be found in anti-wrinkle creams: the dragon's blood is said to have an antioxidant effect that is up to 5 times stronger than vitamin e. The dracaena white stripe has a cool look with its beautiful dark green leaves with lovely white stripes, which give it a special appearance. It is also very easy to look after.
Carethe dracaena does very well in a spot in the (semi-) shade. Also this plant does not need a lot of water. Only water the plant when the soil feels dry. Too much water can cause root rot. This can be recognized by the leaves: brown spots with yellow edges will appear here. Should this happen, it is advised to give less water and remove the brown leaves. When the plant is wet for a longer period, the roots may rot and then it is difficult to save the plant. In winter, the plant needs even less water than in summer. When in doubt, rather water a little too little than too much. Pruning is not necessary, but can be done in the fall to keep the plant compact.
Sizethe plant has a height of 60-70cm upon delivery, measured including the nursery pot. The plant is supplied in a nursery pot with a diameter of 17cm.
