Originally from Africa, Asia and Central America, this plant is named after the Greek word \u201cdrakaina,\u201d which means \u201cfemale dragon\u201d.

Even if you don't have a green thumb, you can enjoy this beautiful plant for years. It only needs a sip of water if the soil feels dry and feels at home in indirect light. Have a busy week and forget about her for a while? No worries, she forgives you! \nThe only thing she really doesn't like is drowning in a pot that's too wet. So by all means, leave the watering can for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some care tips to keep your Dracaena, or Plant of the Month for February, healthy and happy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Light<\/strong>: The Dracaena likes bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can burn the leaves, while too little light slows growth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Water<\/strong>: Allow the top layer of potting soil to dry out before re-watering. Too wet soil can lead to root rot. Start by watering once a week. Is the soil still too wet? Then scale down to once every 2 weeks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Temperature<\/strong>: The ideal temperature does not go below 15\u00b0C. So protect the plant from drafts and cold temperatures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Nutrition<\/strong>: In spring and summer, give a light dose of plant nutrition monthly. In autumn and winter you can skip this.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the Dracaena poisonous?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:30%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/airsopure.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/AirSoPure_Dracaena_Plant-van-de-Maand_Februari-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"Air So Pure Dracaena Plant of the Month February\" class=\"wp-image-5457\" srcset=\"https:\/\/airsopure.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/AirSoPure_Dracaena_Plant-van-de-Maand_Februari-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/airsopure.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/AirSoPure_Dracaena_Plant-van-de-Maand_Februari-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/airsopure.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/AirSoPure_Dracaena_Plant-van-de-Maand_Februari-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/airsopure.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/AirSoPure_Dracaena_Plant-van-de-Maand_Februari-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/airsopure.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/AirSoPure_Dracaena_Plant-van-de-Maand_Februari-2048x1365.webp 2048w, https:\/\/airsopure.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/AirSoPure_Dracaena_Plant-van-de-Maand_Februari-18x12.webp 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:70%\">\n<p>Yes, the Dracaena is slightly toxic to pets such as cats and dogs.
