Golden Heart Dracaena

Dracaena 'Golden Heart'

One of the newer varieties of Dracaena, 'Golden Heart' has wide, upright foliage with yellow stripes. Over time, it will grow as tall as 6' and develop a thick, woody trunk. Definitely a recommendation for a beginner, these plants can tolerate somewhat long periods without water and can tolerate a bit of overwatering, too.

• Light: Indirect Sunlight – This plant needs at least some natural light so place it somewhere with windows nearby.
• Water: Thirsty – This plant can only go 1 to 2 weeks without water so check weekly and water when the top two inches of soil dry out.
• Tips: Like many houseplants, it would rather be too dry than too wet so if you are unsure about whether it needs water, wait a day or two and check again.
