dracaena steudneri care Large Dracaena Steudneri 'Moonlight'

 There are over 100 kinds of Dracaena in the world! With so many unique plants, it can be hard to find the best one for your home or office, but don’t worry – we’re here to help!

The Dracaena Steudneri 'Moonlight' is one of the toughest varieties of Dracaenas, native from varying climates in Ethiopia to tropical South Africa. The thick, vibrant green, and yellow-edged leaves grow so long that they look like they're trying to reach out and give you a hug! Being that it's from a subtropical/tropical environment, it thrives in moderate to high humidity, warm temperatures, drier soil, and indirect bright light. This makes them great to place in a bright corner of a living room or meeting area! When kept in its ideal lighting conditions, the Rikki will keep its yellow variegation. If kept in a low light environment, the foliage may revert back to a solid green.

Dracaenas prefer to be watered from the bottom of their pots, and require very little water. Be careful to not overwater your cane plant! Allow the soil to dry out thoroughly between waterings. The large Moonlight comes in a 10” wide plastic grow pot, making it the perfect size to place in an open corner, fill that space in the hallway, or liven up a conference room. Similar to the other plants in the Dracaena genus, these canes are considered toxic to pets – keep the leaves and sap out of reach of any curious pets.
