dracaena maria

Also known as: Corn Plant, Happy Plant, Fragrant Dracaena

Native to the tropical forests of Africa, Dracaena Maria is one of the most elegant and easy-going indoor plants you can own. Its broad, deep green leaves grow in a full, lush rosette at the top of a thick woody cane — giving it the look of a small tropical tree without any of the fuss. Unlike many other Dracaena varieties, Maria features solid, rich green leaves with no variegation, making it one of the best choices for lower light spaces where other plants struggle. A natural air purifier that brings bold, tropical structure to any room.

care

Place in a warm spot away from cold drafts and air conditioning vents. Water when the top inch or two of soil feels dry and wipe leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to keep them looking clean and shiny. 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.
