Also known as: Lemon Lime Warneckii, Dragon Tree, Warneckii Lemon Lime

Native to the tropical forests of Africa, Dracaena Lemon Lime is the most colorful member of the Dracaena family — and one of the most cheerful houseplants you can own. Its long, sword-like leaves are striped in bright neon yellow, lime green, and white in a bold pattern that looks almost painted by hand. Unlike most variegated plants that need a lot of light to stay colorful, Lemon Lime keeps its vivid tones even in lower light conditions — making it as practical as it is beautiful. A natural air purifier that brightens any indoor space effortlessly.

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 to keep their vivid color 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. Note that this plant is toxic to pets if ingested.
