Product description
The Dracaena fragrans Surprise is an indoor plant that brightens up the room with its beautifully coloured leaves of both dark and light green colouring.

In placement, the Corn Plant will appreciate light, but not direct sunlight as this will affect the colour of its foliage. The plant will purify the air around it to benefit your home or office with great effect, whilst also being a plant that is easily cared for.

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.
