Native in Africa, it is recommended to put this plant in fairly low light. A spot with indirect sunlight or near an east-facing window to prevent it from sunburning is good.
This fairly drought-resistant evolves to tolerate periods of water scarcity. It is good to water only when the top half of the soil is dry or when a moisture meter reads 2-3.
Light, fast-draining potting soil.
Temperatures between 65 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit are ideal for Dracaena Cintho. A freezing or scorching spot can damage most of the leaves in a flash.
This plant should be fertilized once a month in the spring/summer with a diluted, gentle liquid fertilizer. During the colder period, you can skip it.
