What customers say
Customers consistently celebrate the exceptional quality and striking design of the Dracaena 'Jade Jewel'.

The inclusion of the stylish woven basket is a major highlight, elevating the plant from a simple purchase to a sophisticated home decor piece.

Know before you buy
While this plant is highly adaptable and can tolerate low-light conditions, it will perform best in bright, indirect light. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, which can scorch the striped leaves.
No, the Dracaena 'Jade Jewel' is toxic to both cats and dogs if ingested due to the presence of saponins. It is best to keep this plant on a high shelf or in a room inaccessible to your pets.
This plant prefers moderate watering. Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot, as it does not like to sit in soggy soil.
The plant arrives in a woven basket that includes a protective liner. Because the basket itself is not a pot with drainage, we recommend keeping the plant in its internal nursery container and removing it to water it over a sink to ensure excess moisture drains away before placing it back in the basket.
The 'Jade Jewel' is a compact variety that typically reaches a mature height of 12 to 14 inches. Its size makes it an ideal choice for tabletops, desks, or smaller accent surfaces.
