About This Botanical

Dracaena 'Tornado'

A dracaena with twisted, spiraling leaves. It is one of the easiest indoor plants.

How to care for Dracaena Tornado

Light: bright, indirect light. It tolerates low light, but too much direct sun scorches the leaves.
Water: water moderately and regularly, letting the top of the soil dry between waterings. Inconsistent watering browns the leaf edges.
Water quality: dracaenas are sensitive to fluoride and chlorine. Let tap water stand for several days before use, or use filtered water.
Trimming: trim brown tips back to healthy tissue.
