Dracaena Compacta

Native to southeast Africa, the Dracaena Compacta — also known as the Dracaena Janet Craig — is an elegant, slim, low maintenance tree similar to the other members of its family. Its tufty foliage is tighter than its cousins', as its name would suggest, making it an excellent addition to corner spaces. These plants are slow growers and therefore ideal if you are looking for a tree of a particular size and shape, as it is unlikely to quickly outgrow the form you buy it in

 Stands: 3.5-4ft tall 

Medium Light: Place your Dracaena where it will receive medium to bright indirect light and avoid extended periods of direct sun. It can tolerate the lower end of moderate light spaces but watering will need to be reduced.

 Water: Dracaena trees prefer the soil to dry between waterings, but not completely through the pot. Typically, watering every 10-14 days will keep the soil with a nice even level of moisture. You never want the soil to be soggy as this plant can be prone to root rot, however allowing the soil to get bone dry will result in brown tips on the plant's leaves. It’s a delicate balance, but once you fall into a routine, the Dracaena Compacta will react well to regular waterings. The Dracaena also appreciates a humid environment, and will appreciate a humidifier, pebble tray, or regular misting.
