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. 🦇

How to fertilize Dracaena 'Lemon Lime'
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Dracaena 'Lemon Lime' after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

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 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

Lower Leaves Dying The bottom-most leaves on my plant here seem to be browning and dying. Is this a natural process or is he sick in some way? He’s one of my most beloved plants, so I’m particularly concerned about him. #Dracaena

I'm not sure which type of water give to my dracaena I took a #dracaena lemon lime last week and today I found 2 small yellow anf brown dots that looks like a fluoride excess. I know dracaenas are sensible to fluoride and last week I watered it with tap water because I didn't have any other water at home, and I think it may be that that caused the yellow dots. Today I watered it again with bottle water (the same I drink) that has <0.10 mg of fluoride per liter. Is this water good or I should buy distilled water? Thankss #Dracaenalemonlime #watering #yellowdots

My dracaena lemon lime leaf tips are turning brown! How do I stop this/fix it? I’ve heard either overwatering or underwatering but I can’t tell which one.

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.
