Dracaena Lemon Lime – Multi Stem – HydroCare
As its name suggests, Dracaena Lemon Lime is a vibrant, fresh Dracaena with bright green, yellow and white leaves. It is wide spreading, with delightfully long, arching, lance-shaped leaves arranged around a central stem. Leaves are predominantly a lemon-lime background colour, sometimes tending towards yellow, with a central stripe of darker green edged in white.
The HydroCare multi-stem version is a unique look that gives height and tiered levels of foliage. Its zesty freshness brightens up home or office interiors, whilst filtering toxins from the atmosphere so you breathe easier.
HydroCare – Dracaena Lemon Lime Care & Info Guide
Horty Hints
Rough Round the Edges! Brown leaf margins is often a symptom of too much fertiliser. If you don’t fertilise it could be the fluoride in the water. Fix it with filtered water.
Cut and grow! If you cut back your Dracaena, put the cuttings in water in a warm position. Eventually new roots will grow and will eventually be able to be planted in soil.
Disguised with dust? Have your broad leaves lost their lustre? Dust with warm water and a clean cloth. Try to avoid the leaf shine as it will do more damage than dusting.
Light
Dracaena Lemon Lime needs plenty of bright, indirect light to retain its vibrant colouring. Avoid direct sunlight as this may burn or bleach the leaves.
Watering
Keep an eye on the water meter. Water when the meter has been on minimum for 7 to 10 days. Visit our HydroCare
care guide for more information.
Temperature
Lemon Lime prefers average household temperatures between 16-24°C but can cope with as low as 12°C for short periods.
Humidity
Dracaena are hardy plants and do well in normal room humidity, however they do prefer higher humidity and will benefit from occasional misting.
Feed
Add a Hydroculture liquid feed every 2 to 3 waterings during the spring and summer months.
