Care Instructions:
-
Lighting: Dracaena fragrans 'Massangeana' prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions, but too much shade may result in leggy growth and less vibrant leaf color. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, as it can burn the leaves.
-
Temperature: This plant thrives in average room temperatures between 18°C to 24°C. It can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures, but it should be protected from drafts and cold air.
-
Watering: Allow the top inch of the soil to dry before watering the Happy Plant. It's essential to avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot. Water thoroughly and allow excess water to drain out of the pot.
-
Humidity: The Happy Plant can adapt to average room humidity levels, but it appreciates slightly higher humidity. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves regularly or placing a tray with water and pebbles near the plant.
-
Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix suitable for indoor plants. A mixture of peat moss, perlite, and potting soil or a commercial potting mix works well.
-
Fertiliser: Feed the Happy Plant with a balanced liquid fertiliser diluted to half strength every 2 to 4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce or stop fertilisation during fall and winter when the plant's growth slows down.
-
Pruning: Prune the plant as needed to remove any dead or yellowing leaves and to maintain its shape. You can also cut back long stems to encourage bushier growth.
