Key Care Secrets
(Master these for a thriving Dragon Tree!)

1. Light & Temperature ☀️❄️

• ✅ Bright Indirect Light: Thrives in partial shade. Variegated types need brighter light to keep colors vibrant (avoid harsh midday sun).
• ❄️ Cold-Sensitive: Keep above 10°C (50°F) in winter. Below 5°C (41°F) causes leaf drop and damage.
• 🌡️ Ideal Range: 18–28°C (65–82°F).

2. Watering & Humidity 💧🌫️

• 💧 “Dry Out Between Waterings”: Highly drought-tolerant. Soak thoroughly only when soil is completely dry. Reduce to once monthly in winter.
• 🚫 Avoid Soggy Soil: Root rot shows as black leaf tips or soft, mushy stems.
• 🌫️ Humidity Tip: Mist leaves in dry seasons, but never let water pool in leaf crowns.
