Dracaena Lemon Lime
Bright chartreuse stripes on a Dracaena Lemon Lime: a cheerful indoor plant for living-room corners that need a lift without a lot of fuss.
The lime stripes stay vivid in medium light. Water when the top of the compost is dry, and keep it clear of cold window draughts on frosty nights.
An easy houseplant for real homes
- Where it lives. Happiest on a living-room corner or bright hallway.
- Light. Medium to bright indirect light.
- Water. When the top of the compost feels dry. Tip away any water left in the saucer.
- Around the family. Best placed where nibbling pets and small children can’t reach the leaves.
Your questions answered
Is this a good houseplant for beginners?
Yes. It’s one of the more forgiving indoor plants we stock, and a gentle place to start if you’re new to growing in a flat.
What size should I choose?
Smaller pots suit windowsills, desks and shelves. Larger sizes make more of a statement on the floor or beside furniture. Sizes available: 12cm pot / about 25cm tall, 17cm pot / about 75cm tall, 19cm pot / about 60cm tall.
Do I need a grow light?
Not usually, if you can offer the light described above. In a very dark flat, a simple white plant light on a shelf can help through midwinter.
