Dracaena 'Gold Card'

Description:
Dracaena 'Gold Card' is a striking, easy-care houseplant known for its bold, upright growth and vibrant green leaves edged with golden-yellow variegation. This tropical beauty adds a touch of elegance to indoor spaces while also improving air quality by filtering toxins. Dracaena 'Gold Card' is a hardy and adaptable plant, making it an excellent choice for beginners and busy plant owners. With proper care, it can thrive for years as a low-maintenance statement plant.

Watering:
Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Keep the soil slightly moist but not soggy, as overwatering can lead to root rot. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to allow excess water to escape. Reduce watering in Winter when the plant’s growth slows.

Fertilizer:
Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (Spring and Summer). Reduce feeding in Fall and Winter when growth naturally slows.

Lighting:
Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate moderate to low light conditions. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light may cause slower growth and less vibrant variegation. A spot near an East- or North-facing window is ideal.

Temperature:
Thrives in temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Keep away from cold drafts, air conditioning vents, and sudden temperature fluctuations, as these can cause stress and leaf discolouration. Avoid temperatures below 55°F (13°C).

Humidity:
Prefers moderate humidity but can adapt to average indoor conditions. If the air is too dry, mist the plant occasionally, use a humidity tray, or place it near a humidifier. Dry air can lead to browning leaf tips. Keeping humidity levels stable will promote healthy, vibrant foliage.
