★★★★Het mag wel wat plant vriendelijker worden bezorgd
Het mag wel wat plant vriendelijker worden bezorgd. De plant kwam een beetje beschadigd aan. Door dat de bladeren op een onjuiste manier in de doos waren gestopt. Verder is het een mooie plant.
Ik ben blij verrast! Een mooie uitziende plant en goed verpakt ontvangen. Bij de mededeling vroeg ik of zij wilde kijken naar een rechtopstaande plant en als het kan iets groter dan aangegeven maat. Daar heeft de kweker ook goed...

All about
The Dracaena dossier
Dracaena
The Dracaena grows in the tropics of Africa, where some species grow into centuries-old trees. Its name means dragon's blood tree, after the red resin that some species produce.
In the home, the Dracaena has an architectural appearance: characterful trunks with crowns of graceful, often drawn leaves.

Placement and light
The Dracaena has few requirements: a place with average light is enough, although it grows faster the lighter it is. Only avoid bright afternoon sun on the leaves.
It is also easy in terms of temperature; above 12 degrees is fine. Variegated leaves keep their markings best in a lighter spot.
Water and feeding
The Dracaena drinks little: only water when the top half of the potting soil feels dry. In summer, once a week is more than sufficient, in winter once every two to three weeks.
Too much water is the biggest pitfall; the thick trunks store moisture themselves. Feeding is only necessary once a month during the growing season.
Is something wrong with your Dracaena?
Yellow leaves and a soft trunk indicate too much water. Brown leaf tips indicate dry air or fluorine in tap water; spraying helps. It is normal that the bottom leaf gradually falls off, so the characteristic bare trunk grows. Check sticky leaves for scale.
A Dracaena grows slowly and only needs to be repotted once every three years, preferably in the spring. Choose a slightly larger, stable pot and well-drained soil. You can find the matching decorative pots directly on this page.
Toxic to pets?
The Dracaena contains saponins and is poisonous to cats and dogs. Cats in particular like to nibble on the long leaves, causing salivation and vomiting. Place it out of reach of pets or choose an animal-friendly alternative.
The Dracaena grows quietly and compactly; its trunks only grow a few centimeters longer each year. Large specimens are therefore many years old and retain their shape almost automatically.
Indoors, a Dracaena fragrans slowly grows into an indoor tree that can reach the ceiling. XXLplant sells the Dracaena Dorado at 170 cm tall, measured including the nursery pot. Because it grows slowly, it keeps the same shape for a long time.
Where should you put a Dracaena fragrans Dorado?
Put it in a bright spot or in partial shade, out of harsh midday sun. It does well in a spacious living room, hallway or office with daylight. Keep it above 13 °C and out of draughts.
How often should you water a Dracaena fragrans?
Water moderately and let the top layer of soil dry out first. It needs less in winter. With a Dracaena, waterlogged roots quickly lead to root rot.
Is the Dracaena fragrans toxic to cats and dogs?
Yes, the Dracaena fragrans is toxic to cats and dogs. Eating the leaves can cause vomiting and drooling. Keep the plant out of reach of pets.
Why is my Dracaena fragrans getting brown leaf tips?
Brown tips are often caused by dry air, hard water or irregular watering. Too much feed can also play a part. A few brown tips are normal and you can neatly trim them off.
How is a Dracaena fragrans Dorado delivered by XXLplant?
The plant travels upright in its own plant box, with the crown in a paper sleeve and the pot held firmly in place. In frost or heat we add a heat pack or cold pack, and large plants are delivered by our own courier. Within the Netherlands, orders placed Thursday to Saturday usually take 4 to 5 working days to arrive.
