Dracaena angustifolia thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers moderate temperatures. It enjoys high humidity and should be watered regularly to keep the soil evenly moist. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.Soil
This plant prefers well-draining loamy soil that retains moisture but does not become waterlogged. A mix of potting soil with some perlite or sand can help improve drainage.Fertilizer
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to promote healthy growth.Repotting
Repot Dracaena angustifolia every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a pot that is one size larger and ensure it has good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, shake off excess soil, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil.Propagation
Propagate Dracaena angustifolia through stem cuttings. Take a cutting with at least one node and place it in water or moist soil. Keep the cutting in a warm, humid environment until roots develop.Pruning
Prune the plant to remove dead or yellowing leaves and to maintain its shape. Pruning can be done throughout the year as needed. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears to make clean cuts.Toxicity
