About Dracaena Plant

Dracaena is a genus of about 120 species of trees and succulent shrubs. They make ideal houseplants in bright to moderate light locations and their foliage can be quite dramatic. Dracaenas are evergreen shrubs with wiry stems that may reach a height of ten feet.

Some of the Dracaea are well known plant for purifying air. As new growth occurs, older growth can discolor, going yellow or brown. If this happens, you can remove it, which will leave an interesting ringed effect on the main trunk of the dracaena plant.

Older dracaenas develop woody stems and can become tree like. Some of the better-known Dracaena plant includes Dracena Marginata, Dracena Reflexa, Dracaena Surculosa Aurea, Dracaena Mahatama, Dracaena limelight, Dracaena Massangeana, Dracaena Lemon Lime, and Dracaena Silver.
