Dracaena fragrans 'Janet Craig', commonly known as Janet Craig, is a popular indoor plant prized for its long sword-shaped leaves that are glossy and dark green in color. The leaves grow in a dense, upright cluster, creating a striking visual impact. Unlike some other Dracaena varieties, Janet Craig typically does not have variegated leaves.
Dracaena Janet Craig is known for its air-purifying properties, helping to remove toxins such as formaldehyde, benzene, and trichloroethylene from indoor air, making it an excellent choice for improving indoor air quality.
This plant is relatively low maintenance and can tolerate a range of light and humidity conditions, making it suitable for beginner plant enthusiasts.
Light: Dracaena Janet Craig thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. Place it near a window where it can receive plenty of filtered sunlight throughout the day. It can tolerate lower light conditions but may grow more slowly and develop fewer leaves.
Watering: Allow the top inch of the soil to dry out between waterings, and then water thoroughly until water drains from the bottom of the pot. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during the winter months when growth slows down.
Fertilization: Feed Dracaena Janet Craig with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing during the winter months when growth slows down.
Pruning: Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves regularly to maintain the plant's appearance and overall health. You can also prune back any leggy stems to encourage bushier growth.
