Are you looking for an indoor plant with a little more height than usual? This plant can grow up to 3 to 6 and a half feet tall with its evergreen leaves! This indoor plant belongs to the Dracaena plant family and enjoys bathing in bright light. They thrive better when placed by a window with a good light source. This plant can also benefit from a great potting soil mix and compost. Watering can be done once or twice a month, but water weekly during hotter weather. If you are lucky to witness the flowers on it bloom, you may get to sniff the lovely fragrant aroma it gives off!

Care :

Filtered indoor light (such as through a sheer curtain in front of a sunny window) or a semi-shade spot is an ideal location. Never place a dracaena plant in direct sun, as the rays will scorch its foliage.

Dracaena require less water than most indoor plants. Keep them hydrated by misting the leaves with water and keeping the soil lightly misted (never soggy) as well with good drainage. Always allow the top soil to dry out before watering.

65-75° F, sensitive to extreme heat or cold (nothing below 55° F)

What is a Dracaena Massangeana?

Also known as the Dracaena Fragrans (Massangeana), this beauty is part of the Dragon Plant family, originally found in Africa. It’s commonly known as the Corn Plant or the Mass Cane Plant. This popular Dracaena is beloved for its vibrant leaves and the brilliant scent of its blooms.

 

The Dracaena Massangeana has become a favorite houseplant throughout the United States and Europe due to its beauty and how little maintenance it needs to thrive.

 

With the right care, the Massangeana will have stunning white flowers with a pleasing aroma. However, only fully mature plants that have been cultivated for years will flower. Moreover, the Massangeana typically only flowers once a year and twice in its lifetime.

 

Plant Size

The Dracaena Massangeana Plant is quite stunning, adding a pop of tropical color to any room. It has long green leaves with a yellow stripe going down the center of each. They can grow up to seven to eight feet tall, sporting a solid, light brown trunk that’s both bold and simple.

 

Light Requirements

To properly care for this house plant, give it bright, indirect sunlight. Too much direct sunlight can burn the leaves.

 

Soil Requirements

The best soil for this house plant is a well-draining potting soil.

 

Watering Requirements

Water your Dracaena Massangeana whenever the top of the soil becomes slightly dry. The leaves may turn brown if this plant is overwatered.

 

Temperature Requirements

Since this is a tropical plant, it prefers slightly warmer climates, but room temperature is typically suitable. Keep the temperature around 65 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit.

 

Why Choose a Dracaena Massangeana Plant for Your Home?

Are Dracaena Massangeana Plants Good Indoors & Outdoors?

The Dracaena Massangeana Plant can easily be grown inside or outside!

 

When it comes to indoor growth, keep your Dracaena Massangeana Plant in a pot. Give it a good soil mix, add compost, and pour clay pebbles or small stones at the bottom for better drainage. It’s important to ensure that your plant doesn’t get overwatered.

 

You can also plant your Dracaena Massangeana outside, usually in a bed of gravel, small stones, or clay pebbles to ensure proper drainage. On top, put soil mix, garden soil, and sand.

 

Just remember, you can only keep your Massangeana Plant outside if you live in certain regions. If the area you live in gets colder than 65 degrees during the day often (like during the winter), your Dracaena Massangeana Plant will struggle to survive and may eventually die.

 

How to Care for Indoor Dracaena Massangeana

This plant needs well-draining, slightly acidic soil. That means the pH range should be 6.0 to 6.5. You should test the pH level if you can! Avoid soil mixes with large amounts of fertilizer containing superphosphate, as this plant is sensitive to fluoride.

 

The Dracaena Massangeana loves bright, indirect sunlight. Place it about four to eight feet away from a window facing south, east, or west. They won’t grow well in low light.

 

It’s very important to use rainwater or water that’s gone through the process of reverse-osmosis because this plant is sensitive to fluoride. The water should also be at room temperature. Water the Mass Cane Plant about once a week, ensuring that the soil is soaked (but not sopping wet). Watering too often can kill your plant.

 

If you want your plant to thrive, mist the Corn Plant once per day. This can recreate their natural humid, tropical environment. Use a spray bottle filled with fluoride-free water. Toxic water will leave your plant with brown-spotted leaves.

 

Pests aren’t too common for the Dracaena Massangeana. But keep an eye out for spider mites, mealybugs, and other pests. If you see any, spray your plant with horticultural oil. Move the plant away from other plants in your home until they are pest-free.

 

Are Dracaena Massangeana Plants Pet and Children Friendly?

Dracaena Massangeana Plants are not toxic to humans, so it’s safe to have them around children. But you might want to take them off your coffee table or other low spots if you have a pet. This plant is toxic to cats and dogs, especially smaller ones. Pets will often have trouble breathing and start to throw up if they ingest its leaves.

 

If you expect that your pet ate a part of your Dracaena Massangeana Plant, take them to the vet immediately. Always keep this plant away from your pets. This might mean keeping them on a high shelf or in a room that’s off-limits to your pets when you’re not there.
