Abstract
This document provides an overview of Dracaena deremensis, a tropical plant suitable for low-maintenance container culture or specimen planting in shaded landscapes. It details the plant’s characteristics, including its height, spread, leaf color, and soil tolerances. The document also discusses its uses, propagation methods, and pest resistance. Dracaena deremensis is noted for its shade tolerance, making it a good houseplant, and is generally available within its hardiness range. The cultivar ‘Warneckii’ is highlighted for its distinctive broad stripe along each margin.
