Dracaena Deremensis 'White Stripe' - Set of 2 - 60-70cm

Product Description

Dracaena, also known as dragon trees, are native to tropical Africa or Asia. Their name is derived from the Greek word drakaina, which means female dragon. When the plant is damaged, red resin flows from the 'wound'. This resin is known as dragon's blood and has been used as a medicine since ancient times. Today it is often used in medicines for gastrointestinal complaints and nutritional supplements. It is also found in anti-wrinkle creams: dragon's blood is said to have an antioxidant effect that is up to 5 times stronger than vitamin E. The Dracaena White Stripe has a tough appearance with its beautiful dark green leaves with beautiful white stripes, which gives it a special look. It is also very easy to care for.

Care
The Dracaena does very well in a spot in the (half) shade. This plant also does not need much water. Only water the plant when the soil feels dry. Too much water can cause root rot. This can be recognized by the leaves: brown spots with yellow edges appear here. If this does happen, it is recommended to water less and remove the brown leaves. If the plant is wet for a long time, the roots can rot and it will then be difficult to save the plant. In winter the plant needs even less water than in summer. When in doubt, give too little water rather than too much. Pruning is not necessary, but can be done in the autumn to keep the plant compact.

Format
The plant has a height of 60-70cm upon delivery, measured including the nursery pot. The plant is supplied in a nursery pot with a diameter of 17cm.
