Know before you buy

No, the Jade Jewel Dracaena is not pet-friendly. It contains compounds that can be toxic if ingested by cats or dogs, so it is best kept in a location inaccessible to curious pets.
With proper care, this plant can reach a mature height of 5 feet and a width of about 30 inches. Its upright, spreading habit makes it an excellent choice for filling vertical space in a room.
