Know before you buy
No, this plant is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best kept in a location that your animals cannot reach, such as a high shelf or a room they do not frequent.
It prefers bright, indirect light. While it is quite adaptable, placing it near a window with sheer curtains or in a spot that receives filtered sunlight will help maintain the vibrancy of its variegated leaves.
Not at all. The 'Janet Craig' is considered an easy-care plant, making it a great choice for beginners or those who prefer a low-maintenance indoor garden.
The Dracaena 'Janet Craig' features an upright growth habit, which allows it to grow vertically rather than spreading wide. This makes it an excellent choice for compact living spaces or corners where floor space is limited.
The plant arrives already potted in a round container with soil included. It is ready to be placed in your home as soon as it arrives.
