Also known as: Compact Dracaena, Striped Dracaena, Corn Plant

Native to the tropical forests of Africa, Dracaena Janet Craig is one of the most reliable and easy-going indoor plants you can own. Its long, broad, deep green leaves are naturally glossy and grow in full, lush clusters from upright woody stems — giving it a bold, elegant look that works in almost any indoor setting. A proven air purifier, it filters common household toxins while thriving in spots where most plants struggle. One of the few plants that genuinely gets better with age.

care

Place in a warm spot away from cold drafts and air conditioning vents. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry and wipe leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to keep their natural shine looking sharp. Feed monthly with a balanced liquid fertilizer during spring and summer and skip in winter when growth naturally slows. Remove any yellowing leaves at the base to keep the plant looking full and fresh year-round.
