Dracaena houseplants like humidity and moderate watering. They can tolerate periods of drought but the tips of the leaves may turn brown. [14] Leaves at the base will naturally yellow and drop off, leaving growth at the top and a bare stem. [14] Dracaena are vulnerable to mealybugs and scale insects. [14]
Dracaena ellenbeckiana was first described by Engl. in 1902. The species is a shrub or tree, growing 2-8 meters high, with erect stems that are often several from a common base, less often solitary, and little-branched. [5] The stems can be up to 8 cm (3.1 in) in diameter and are longitudinally fissured. [5]
The bright green straplike leaves are soft, up to 35 cm long and 2.5 cm wide, and are borne along the length of the stems, rather than the tufted habit typical of Dracaena. While capable of attaining an arborescent form up to 18 m, in drier or more open areas D. americana is more typically a prostrate understory shrub.

Dracaena sanderiana and its related varieties are popular houseplants. It is a suitable plant for confined spaces, and it does very well in indirect sunlight or partial shade as direct sunlight often causes its leaves to burn or yellow. [8] The ideal temperature range for D. sanderiana is from 16 to 27 °C (61 to 81 °F). [9]
Dracaena zeylanica is a leafier plant (10-16 leaves per rosette, versus generally 2–4 in Dracaena trifasciata), and its leaves lack a petiole, instead becoming only slightly narrower at the base. In D. trifasciata, leaves become narrower and thickened towards the bottom, forming a concave channel at the base of the leaves. [2]
Dracaena aletriformis is commonly known as the large-leaved dragon tree. These plants are found in forest in the eastern areas of South Africa from Port Elizabeth to northern and eastern Limpopo. [2] They are also found in Eswatini, [2] but are most common in the coastal and dune forests of KwaZulu-Natal. [3]
Dracaena goldieana is a small, rhizomatous understory shrub or subshrub growing to 30–60 cm high with a slender stem, up to 1 cm in diameter. The ovate leaves, which measure 18–30 cm long and up to 6.5 cm wide, terminate in a filiform (threadlike) mucro. The leaves are dark green, retained along the entire stem, and are variegated with ...
