Dracaena Victoria Plant

Use well-draining potting soil for your Dracaena Victoria. A mix formulated for houseplants or tropical plants works well. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water from accumulating at the roots. Dracaena Victoria plants prefer temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C) and moderate to high humidity levels. They can tolerate average indoor humidity but may benefit from occasional misting or placement near a humidifier, especially in dry indoor environments.  Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.

Feed your Dracaena Victoria with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce or stop fertilization in fall and winter when growth slows down. Prune your Dracaena Victoria as needed to maintain its size and shape. Remove any dead or yellowing leaves, and trim back leggy growth to encourage bushier growth. Choose a pot with drainage holes that is slightly larger than the plant's root ball. Avoid pots that are too large, as they can retain excess moisture, which can lead to root rot.

When repotting your Dracaena Victoria, gently loosen the roots and place the plant in the center of the new pot. Add fresh potting soil around the roots, firming it gently to provide support. Dracaena plants, including the Dracaena Victoria, are toxic to cats, dogs, and other pets if ingested. Keep them out of reach of pets, and wash your hands after handling the plant. With proper care, your Dracaena Victoria can thrive and add beauty to your indoor space. Enjoy its lush foliage and low maintenance nature!
