Its leaves are short, narrow, deep glossy green, forming dense tufts along the stem. It doesn&#8217;t usually flower indoors, but its elegant habit and tufts of green leaves at the top of the stems make this plant a must-have for your Urban Jungle, giving that corner of your home the exotic yet contemporary touch it was missing. It is also one of the plants that helps purify indoor air\u2014like other Dracaenas, this variety also helps remove toxins from the air around it. Being relatively small, it works well for groupings or as a standalone piece in rooms with moderate light.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scientific name<\/strong>: <em>Dracaena fragrans &#8216;Compacta&#8217;<\/em><br \/><strong>Common names<\/strong>: Compact Dracaena, Compacta, Janet Craig Compacta<br \/><strong>Family<\/strong>: <em>Asparagaceae<\/em><br \/><strong>Origin<\/strong>: Tropical regions of Africa<br \/><strong>Climate<\/strong>: Tropical, Subtropical<br \/><strong>Category<\/strong>: Indoor plant<br \/><strong>Approximate height<\/strong>: 1.20m<br \/><strong>Pot diameter<\/strong>: 24cm<\/p>\n<p><strong>CUIDADOS<\/strong><br \/><strong>Light<\/strong>: Prefers abundant indirect light. Does not tolerate direct sun. In very dark spots, growth becomes slow and the leaf colour becomes less intense.<br \/><strong>Temperature<\/strong>: Ideally between 18\u00b0C to 25\u00b0C. Avoid temperatures below 15\u00b0C, as well as drafts.<br \/><strong>Watering<\/strong>: Moderate. During summer keep soil slightly moist without waterlogging; in winter allow the top layer of substrate to dry between waterings. Avoid excess water to prevent root rot.<br \/><strong>Humidity<\/strong>: Performs well in indoor environments with average humidity. Wiping the leaves with a damp cloth is a great way to keep them hydrated during the hotter months and keep the plant looking beautiful. <br \/><strong>Fertilization<\/strong>: Apply balanced liquid fertilizer or fertilizer for green plants during spring and summer, approximately every 4-6 weeks. Reduce or suspend in fall\/winter.<br \/><strong>Pruning<\/strong>: Remove old or damaged leaves at the base. Light pruning to balance shape and prevent uneven growth. All pruning should use clean tools to prevent disease.<br \/><strong>Life cycle<\/strong>: Perennial. Slow growth, long life when well cared for indoors, without need for frequent repotting.<br \/><strong>Soil<\/strong>: Light, well-drained mix, rich in organic matter. Indoor substrate containing peat or coconut coir mixed with perlite or sand improves drainage.<br \/><strong>Not Pet Friendly<\/strong>: Dracaenas contain compounds that can cause gastrointestinal irritation in pets if ingested.<\/p>\n<p>WARNING!
