Know before you buy
This plant thrives in medium to bright indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light levels, bright indirect light is best to keep the lime green and white variegation vibrant.
The 'Lemon Lime' has low water requirements. Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out completely between waterings to avoid overwatering, which can lead to root issues.
No, the Dracaena 'Lemon Lime' is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. It is best to place this plant in a location that is inaccessible to your pets.
While it prefers medium humidity, it adapts well to average household conditions. You do not need to provide special misting or a humidifier unless your home is exceptionally dry.
Your plant will arrive fully established in a 4-inch pot with soil included. It is ready to be placed directly into your indoor space and will begin adapting to your home environment immediately.
