Lemon Lime Dracaena, or Dracaena deremensis, is a relative of the Dracaena Janet Craig (solid green leaves) and Dracaena Warneckii (green and white leaves). The dracaena lemon lime has 12”-24” long sword shaped leaves with bright green and yellow stripes. Can grow to 5'-7' if cared for...go ahead and make that statement.
Dracaena Lemon Lime
LIGHT
Although a Dracaena lemon lime Plant can adapt to low light, it does better in medium to indirect bright light. Too much direct bright light causes the color in the leaves to fade. Too little light and the new leaves are narrower than the older leaves.
WATER
Allow the top 50% of the soil to dry out before watering. If the soil is too wet or too dry the leaves develop brown tips. Always use non-fluoridated non chlorinated water for any type of dracaena plant. Dracaenas are very sensitive to chemicals in the water.
FERTILIZER
Dracaenas require very little fertilizer. Feed a monthly in spring and summer with a balanced liquid plant food diluted to 1/2 the recommended strength. It’s not necessary to feed dracaenas in the fall or winter.
TEMPERATURE
Provide warm temperatures between 70°-75° degrees if possible.
HUMIDITY
Dracaenas like high humidity but do well in basic household humidity.
FLOWERING
Although a dracaena lemon lime does bloom, it rarely flowers as a potted plant. White flowers may appear in summer if the plant gets bright indirect light but no direct sun.
