Product description
Dracaena Sanderiana White Stripe is a small houseplant with a central, upright stem surrounded by beautiful leafy foliage. The central cane is reminiscent of a bamboo cane, much like the Lucky Bamboo plant, although this plant’s stem is enveloped by stunning, long, green leaves edged with white stripes.
Baby Dracaena Sanderiana White Stripe is a fabulous choice for any plant lover not only because of its beautiful foliage, but because it is a relatively low maintenance plant too! It would make an excellent gift, especially for a plant lover with only a small space, this baby plant can easily be pruned back to the desired size if it begins to grow too large.
Place your Dragon Tree in bright, indirect sunlight as it prefers these conditions. Avoid direct sunlight as this scorches the leaves. This plant is a big lover of humidity, so misting regularly is important, with watering not needed too often. Wait for the soil to dry out before watering again to avoid the plant sitting in waterlogged soil.
It’s not unusual to give your plant a name… so don’t hesitate to choose one that you think suits the plant! Try naming your plant with the first name or word that you think of when you look at it - that’s how we ended up with an orchid named Clover and spider plant called Joseph. Go ahead and choose the perfect name for your Dragon Tree!
House Plant Size Guide
House plants come in a wide array of shapes and sizes depending on the variety and maturity of the plant.
6cm/12cm/15cm/19cm/23cm nursery pots are the most common size of pot that they are sold in. This measurement is the diameter at the top of the pot.
12cm potted plants are the most popular providing great value for money and an instant impact. Larger plants that come in pots of 20cm+ are great for making a statement in any room and can represent years of growth to get to that level of maturity and size.

Top Tip
Dracaena thrives in warm, humid environments, so consider misting its leaves regularly or placing a humidifier nearby to replicate its natural habitat. Rotate the pot every few weeks to encourage even growth and prevent the plant from leaning toward the light. Wipe the leaves gently with a damp cloth to remove dust and maintain their glossy appearance. With minimal care, Dracaena will bring long-lasting elegance to your indoor space.
How to Water
Water Dracaena moderately, allowing the top 2–3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. During the growing season, water approximately once a week, reducing this in winter when growth slows. Avoid overwatering, as Dracaena is sensitive to root rot. Use filtered or rainwater whenever possible, as this plant is susceptible to leaf browning caused by fluoride and chlorine in tap water.
How to Plant
To plant Dracaena, use a pot with drainage holes and fill it with a well-draining potting mix, such as one designed for houseplants. Gently remove the plant from its container, loosen the roots, and position it so the base of the stem sits just above the soil surface. Backfill with soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly to settle the roots. Place the pot in a location with bright, indirect light to promote healthy growth while avoiding direct sunlight that can scorch the leaves.
