Compact Janet Craig Dracaena
Compact Janet Craig Dracaena is a dwarf form of the Janet Craig Dracaena. Nicknamed the “corn plant,’ this compact version of Dracaena is perfect as a tabletop plant or on your desk at work.
The Janet Craig Compacta sports sword shaped dark green leaves that arch out gracefully. Popular as indoor plants, these Dracaena are extremely easy to grow and tolerate a wide variety of conditions. Botanically referred to as ‘Dracaena Deremensis,’ the dwarf Janet Craig plants grow best in a bright indirect light conditions and a well draining potting mix.
It’s also recommended that you pot these grassy plants into a pot with a drainage hole and allowing the soil to dry in between waterings. Your Dracaena Compacta will also benefit from a well balanced fertilizer in the growing months of spring and summer. Come fall and winter, your house plant will likely go dormant and will pause new growth.
It is common for these indoor plants to lose lower foliage as it ages. Additionally, your plant may exhibit brown leaf tips. If this occurs we recommend reevaluating your watering regimen, for your Dracaena likely wants more moisture. Avoid using tap water on these tropical plants as they prefer a distilled water.
