    Dracaena Janet Craig

    Botanical Name: Dracaena fragrans 'Janet Craig'
    Common Name(s): Janet Craig Dracaena, Dracaena 'Janet Craig'

    The Dracaena Janet Craig is a popular Dracaena beloved for its lush, glossy green foliage and easy caring nature. This plant features broad, arching leaves that are deep green and leathery, often growing in dense clusters along upright stems. Its rich, solid color and graceful form give it a clean, minimalist look that works beautifully in both modern and traditional indoor settings. With its ability to purify indoor air and tolerate lower light, the Janet Craig is frequently used in homes, offices, and commercial interiors to add greenery without high maintenance.

    Native to tropical regions of Africa, this cultivar thrives in warm, humid environments but is exceptionally well-adapted to indoor living. It typically reaches 3–6 feet (0.9–1.8 meters) in height indoors, though in ideal conditions it can grow taller over time. Its upright growth habit and full foliage make it ideal for corners, entryways, or as a vertical accent in plant groupings.

    The Dracaena Janet Craig prefers bright, indirect light to maintain healthy, vibrant foliage but is highly tolerant of lower light conditions, making it ideal for rooms with minimal natural light. However, prolonged exposure to very low light may slow growth and cause the plant to become leggy. Direct sunlight should be avoided, as it can scorch the leaves and cause browning. The optimal temperature range for this plant is between 65–80°F (18–27°C), and it should be protected from drafts and sudden temperature changes.

    This Dracaena grows best in well-draining, loamy soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH. Water the plant when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry to the touch. Overwatering is one of the most common issues and can lead to root rot, so it's important to allow the soil to dry out partially between waterings. The plant is relatively drought-tolerant once established and prefers consistent, moderate watering.

    Note: Like many other Dracaena species, the Janet Craig is toxic to pets, including cats and dogs. It contains saponins that can cause vomiting, drooling, and lack of appetite if ingested. Keep this plant out of reach of pets and small children. 

    Care Insights & Expert Tips

    Sunlight

    Bright, indirect light: This plant prefers plenty of light to maintain its yellow and green vegetation. Can tolerate lower light levels. Avoid direct sunlight.

    Water

    Water once a week: This plant requires watering only once a week or when the top 1-2 inches of the soil is dry. Soil should be consistently moist; do not overwater. Use distilled water if possible.

    Temperature

    Warm temperatures: This plant prefer temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C) with moderate to high humidity. Mist the plant to help with humidity levels.

      1. Repotting: Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Handle with care as the sap can cause mild irritation. 
      2. Fertilize once a month: Feed your plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength once a month during the growing season.
      3. Prune regularly: Prune your Dracaena to remove damaged or leggy stems and encourage bushier growth.
      4. Avoid cold drafts: Keep your Dracaena away from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
