Dracaena Tornado Care Guide

• Light: Thrives in medium to bright indirect light. It tolerates lower light better than many tropicals, though variegation is most vivid in brighter conditions.
• Water: Allow the upper portion of the potting mix to dry before watering thoroughly. Empty the saucer after watering and avoid constantly wet roots, which can lead to rot.
• Humidity: Average household humidity is sufficient. No need for a humidifier unless your home is very dry.
• Soil: Use an airy, well-draining potting mix in a pot with drainage holes.
• Feeding: Fertilize during active growth in spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer, following the label directions.
• Temperature: Keep in warm indoor conditions. Protect from frost and cold drafts.

⚠️ Toxicity warning: Dracaena is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. Keep out of reach of pets.
