Dracaena Kiwi – 8" Pot

Dracaena ‘Kiwi’ (Dracaena reflexa ‘Kiwi’) is a compact tropical foliage plant prized for its lime-green and creamy yellow variegated leaves edged in deep green. The narrow, arching leaves form a dense rosette for a clean, structured look. This cultivar is selected for stable variegation, compact growth, and durable container performance, making it ideal for homes, offices, or shaded patios. Slow to moderate growing, it tolerates moderate indoor light and is low maintenance and drought tolerant once established.

**Key Features:**

- Bright lime and yellow variegated foliage
- Compact upright growth habit
- Air-purifying foliage plant (NASA Clean Air Study genus data)
- Tolerates moderate indoor light
- Low maintenance, drought tolerant once established

**Care Guide:**

- **Light:** Bright, indirect light preferred. Tolerates medium light but avoid prolonged direct sun which may scorch variegation; low light reduces color intensity.
- **Water:** Allow top 1–2 inches of soil to dry between waterings; overwatering is the most common cause of failure. Reduce watering in winter. Sensitive to fluoride and salts; use filtered or distilled water if leaf tips brown.
- **Soil:** Use a well-draining potting mix with peat or coco coir and perlite; plant must not sit in standing water.
- **Temperature:** Prefers 65–85°F and should be protected from cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F.
- **Humidity:** Average indoor humidity is adequate, though moderate humidity is appreciated.
- **Fertilizer:** Feed monthly during spring/summer with balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength; do not over-fertilize.

**Size & Growth:** This 8-inch pot specimen grows slowly to moderate rate, forming a compact rosette. It can be pruned to maintain shape.
