Growing & Care Tips
With its tall, upright growth and striking striped foliage, the Dracaena Mas Canes brings a bold architectural element to your garden or indoor décor. Known for its low-maintenance nature and air-purifying qualities, this plant is perfect for adding a touch of tropical elegance to any setting.
How to Grow
Grow the Dracaena Mas Canes in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions, making it ideal for indoor spaces. This plant thrives in temperatures between 65–80°F (18–27°C) and prefers moderate humidity. Water it when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry, and be sure not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot. Fertilize every 6–8 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer.
Care Tips
- Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry to the touch.
- Avoid direct sunlight which can scorch the leaves; opt for bright, indirect light instead.
- Wipe leaves occasionally to remove dust and enhance photosynthesis.
- Bring indoors if exposed to temperatures below 60°F (15°C).
