Philodendron Golden Dragon - Golden Dragon Variegated Potted Plant

The Golden Dragon plant, often known as Dracaena marginata, is a stunning houseplant known for its sword-like leaves and ease of care.

WHAT DO YOU GET: Exact SAME plant or cut that you select.

CARE:

Light: Place your plant in bright, indirect sunlight. It can tolerate lower light conditions but may not thrive as well.

Watering: Allow the top inch or so of the soil to dry out between waterings. Ensure the pot has proper drainage to prevent waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.

Humidity: It adapts well to normal household humidity levels. Misting the leaves occasionally can help, especially in drier climates or heated indoor spaces.

Temperature: Keep the plant in a room with temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). It can handle occasional temperature fluctuations but avoid placing it in drafty areas or near heating/cooling vents.

Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat moss, perlite, and pine bark.

Fertilization: Feed your Golden Dragon plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) about once a month. Reduce or stop fertilizing during the winter months when growth typically slows.

Pruning: Trim off any yellow or dead leaves as needed. Regular pruning can encourage new growth and maintain its shape.

Repotting: Repot the plant into a slightly larger container if it becomes root-bound, typically every two to three years in spring.

Pests: Keep an eye out for common houseplant pests like spider mites, mealybugs, or scale. If noticed, treat them promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
