Well known in floristry as thin canes in a variety of styles this Dracaena is commonly thought of due to its common name as a bamboo. It is a very easy plant to have almost anywhere in the house from shady to bright rooms. The canes when old lose the smooth light green surface and begin to develop an attractive light brown paper like 'bark'.

Site: Bright indirect light to Light shade.

Temp: Average warmth.

Water: Do not let the compost dry out, in the growing season keep moist and reduce the watering in winter. Keep the humidity up with misting.

Feeding: A weak feed (1/2 of recommended) every month or so. We have heard that fish emulsion fertiliser is very good for dracaenas.

Tip: Place in a pebble tray to increase humidity
