Dracena Rikki
Dracena Rikki is a unique looking plant that has proven itself to be extremely hardy and versatile. It is great in low light, but can tolerate bright light as well. Dracaena Rikki is resistant to most common pests, and can withstand handling much better than its cousin the Corn Plant. Rikki is a relatively new cultivar of the Dracaena deremensis species. It has long, narrow arching leaves that feel like thick plastic. The leaves have varying amounts of yellow through the center.
LIGHT
Your dracaena can be placed in low to indirect light. Too little light and the foliage will yellow and growth will slow. Too much light and the foliage will burn.
WATER
Water when 75% of the soil volume is dry. The leading issue with dracaenas is root rot, so keep on the dry side. Always water until you see it flow out of the drainage hole and discard the excess water in the saucer.
HUMIDITY
Dracaenas do well in average household humidity.
TEMPERATURE
Your Dracaena will thrive in average room temperatures, between 60-80°F.
FOOD
The dracaena is slow-growing and does not need much fertilizer. Feed once a month in the spring and summer with general purpose plant food, diluted to half-strength. No fertilizer is necessary during the fall and winter when plant growth naturally slows. Always make sure the soil is damp before applying any fertilizer.
TOXICITY
Dracaenas are toxic to humans and pets if ingested.
