Dracaena angustifolia, commonly known as the Narrow-leaved Dracaena, is a shrub native to wet tropical climates. It belongs to the family Asparagaceae and the genus Dracaena. This plant is known for its slender, arching leaves and is often used as an ornamental plant in gardens and homes.
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.
土壤
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.

换盆
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.
