2. Taxonomy & Classification
Order: Asparagales
Family: Asparagaceae
Genus: Dracaena (formerly Sansevieria)
3. Origin & Distribution
Native to tropical West Africa, from Nigeria to the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Widely cultivated and naturalized in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide as an ornamental houseplant.
4. Visual Characteristics
Leaves: Erect, stiff, sword-shaped with a dark green center and yellow margins on 'Laurentii'.
Texture: Succulent, smooth, glossy.
Growth pattern: Forms upright rosettes arising from underground rhizomes.
Color: Variegated green and yellow.
5. Size & Dimensions
Height: 60–120 cm (24–48 in); occasionally up to 150 cm outdoors.
Spread: 30–60 cm (12–24 in) wide.
Leaf length: 30–90 cm (12–35 in).
Leaf thickness: Approximately 2–3 cm (0.8–1.2 in).
6. Light Requirements
Prefers bright, indirect light.
Tolerates low light but growth slows and variegation may fade.
Avoid direct midday sun to prevent leaf scorch.
7. Watering Needs
Allow the top 2–3 cm (0.8–1.2 in) of soil to dry out between waterings.
Water sparingly; reduce frequency in winter.
Overwatering can lead to root rot.
8. Soil & Potting
Use a well-draining potting mix (cactus/succulent mix or peat-based with perlite).
Ensure pots have drainage holes.
pH: Slightly acidic to neutral (6.0–7.0).
9. Temperature & Humidity
Optimal temperature: 18–29 °C (65–85 °F).
Minimum: ~10 °C (50 °F); sensitive to frost.

10. Fertilization
Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength.
Do not fertilize in winter.
11. Maintenance & Care Level
Care level: Very easy to moderate.
Low maintenance: Wipe leaves occasionally to remove dust.
Repot every 2–3 years or when root-bound.
12. Growth & Propagation
Growth rate: Slow to moderate.
Propagation: Division of rhizomes; leaf cuttings in soil or water.
New divisions establish in 4–6 weeks under optimal conditions.
13. Common Problems
Root rot from overwatering.
Leaf tip browning due to underwatering, fluoride in water, or low humidity.
Pests: Mealybugs, spider mites, scale insects.
Variegation loss in low light conditions.
14. Benefits & Uses
Air-purifying: Effective at removing formaldehyde, benzene, and trichloroethylene.
Decorative accent in homes, offices, and receptions.
Low-maintenance plant suitable for beginners and busy environments.
15. Toxicity & Safety
