Dracaena zeylanica, commonly known as the Ceylon Dracaena, is primarily grown as an ornamental plant rather than for harvest. It does not have a specific harvest period as it is not typically cultivated for edible or medicinal purposes. The plant thrives in seasonally dry tropical climates and requires well-drained soil. Regular pruning of dead or yellowing leaves can help maintain its appearance and health. Ensure the plant receives adequate sunlight and water moderately, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.Suelo
