Dracaena fragrans ‘Compacta’ is an evergreen foliage plant with slow growth and compact habit, ideal for indoors. Its leaves are short, narrow, deep glossy green, forming dense tufts along the stem. Indoors it doesn’t usually produce flowers, but its elegant habit and tufts of green leaves at the top of the stems make this plant a must-have to create your Urban Jungle and give that corner at home the exotic yet contemporary touch it was missing. It’s also one of the plants that help purify the air indoors \u2013 like other Dracaenas, this variety also promotes the removal of toxins from the surrounding air. Being relatively small, it works well for groupings or as a standalone piece in rooms with moderate light.<\/p>\n

Common names<\/strong>: Compact Dracaena, Compacta, Janet Craig Compacta
Family<\/strong>: Asparagaceae<\/em>
Origin<\/strong>: Tropical regions of Africa
Climate<\/strong>: Tropical, Subtropical
Category<\/strong>: Indoor plant
Approximate height<\/strong>: 90cm
Pot diameter<\/strong>: 21cm<\/p>\n
Light<\/strong>: Prefers abundant indirect light. Does not tolerate direct sun. In very dark locations, growth becomes slow and leaf color less intense.
Temperature<\/strong>: Ideally between 18\u00b0C to 25\u00b0C. Avoid temperatures below 15\u00b0C, as well as drafts.
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.
Humidity<\/strong>: Performs well in indoor environments with average humidity. Wiping the leaves with a damp cloth is a good way to keep leaves hydrated during warmer months and keep the plant looking beautiful.
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.
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.
Life cycle<\/strong>: Perennial. Slow growth, long life when well cared for indoors, without need for frequent repotting.
Soil<\/strong>: Light, well-drained mix, rich in organic matter. Indoor substrate that includes peat or coco fiber mixed with perlite or sand improves drainage.
Not Pet Friendly<\/strong>: Dracaenas contain compounds that can cause gastrointestinal irritation in pets if ingested.<\/p>\n
