A Dracaena Rikki is a low-maintenance houseplant with long, narrow leaves featuring bright yellow stripes down the center and dark green edges, thriving in medium to low indirect light, and requiring minimal watering, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot; it prefers well-draining soil and should be kept away from direct sunlight which can scorch the leaves; considered toxic to pets if ingested.
Key care points:
- Light: Bright, indirect light; can tolerate low light but variegation may diminish.
- Watering: Water deeply but infrequently, allowing soil to dry out completely between waterings.
- Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix.
- Temperature: Average room temperature (65-75°F).
-
Humidity: Average household humidity is fine, but occasional misting can be beneficial.
Important considerations:
- Overwatering: The biggest threat to a Dracaena Rikki is overwatering, so always check the soil moisture before watering.
- Leaf burn: Avoid placing directly in strong sunlight.
- Toxicity: Keep out of reach of pets and children as it is considered toxic if ingested.
