Dracaena Fragrans Steudneri

Caring for Dracaena fragrans 'Steudneri' (commonly known as corn plant) involves a few key practices:

Light

• Bright, indirect light: This plant prefers bright, indirect sunlight but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

Watering

• Moderate watering: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent root rot. Reduce watering in the winter months.

Humidity

• Moderate humidity: Dracaenas enjoy a bit of humidity, so misting the leaves or placing a humidifier nearby can be beneficial, especially in dry environments.

Temperature

• Warm temperatures: Keep the plant in temperatures between 65°F and 80°F (18°C to 27°C). 

Soil

• Well-draining soil: Use a standard potting mix or a mix designed for houseplants. Adding perlite or sand can improve drainage.

Fertilizing

• Regular feeding: During the growing season (spring and summer), feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks. 

Pruning

• Trim as needed: Remove yellow or damaged leaves to promote healthy growth and maintain appearance.

Repotting

• Repot every couple of years: Choose a pot one size larger when the plant outgrows its container.

With these care tips, your Dracaena fragrans 'Steudneri' should thrive!
