About Dracaena 'Lemon Lime'
The Lemon Lime Dracaena has bright, eye-catching leaves with characteristic stripes down the center. The protective resins inside cornstalk dracaena are in Dragon’s Blood, a bright red pigment, varnish, medicine, incense, and dye that has been used across ancient cultures for thousands of years. This plant rarely blooms, but when it does, its flower blooms at night and emits smells that attract night pollinators, like moths. 🦇

HELP! Why is she browning in the middle and what can I do to stop it? I read that brown leaves need to be cut but I’m scared I’ll make it worse #Dracaena

Dracaena has brown spots all over I'm kind of at my wits ends. I thought these were supposed to be easy but this plant is anything but. For a while I had her in my bedroom which gets north and east light and my windows are quite huge. But there had been a few time when I forgot to open the curtain and that's when I first notice the browning. Then I started making sure to open every day and the plant got more browning. So then I moved her from my bedroom to my bathroom cause there is no curtain there to open but I do have a big window and the room is always bright. I have her in a terra cota pot with drainage, but this plant just looks bad. I also checked her roots a week or so ago and I didn't see any rot. Help #Dracaena

I think Greg might be mistaken. I purchased this house plant without a name tag on it and I have no idea what it is. Very sure but no name. Greg says it's a lemon lime dracaena but after googling some photos, I'm not entirely sure about that. Does anyone know more about this plant? Can you confirm or deny what this is? Thank you.

Half Dying? My lemon lime dracaena is still sprouting new growths, but the bottom leaves are browning and half dead. I make sure the soil is dry before watering again to avoid over (or under) watering. I think maybe it needs repotting; her current situation is about 6” deep and 4” wide. Looking for any tips on what might help her☺️ #Dracaena #Lemonlimeplants

I just noticed that a couple of the leaves have black on them. The soil is dry 😞😞😞 #Dracaena

I overwatered this plant that Greg identifies as blue stem yucca. It has some moldy looking stuff. How do I save it? I think the soil is too moist ams I don't know what to do. #BlueStemYucca

I’ve had this plant for a while, we’ve been through a lot. I still love my baby even though it’s always browning on me! I repotted her recently so she seems happy.
