Water: Dracaena goldieana does not want to go completely dry like other Dracaena. Water your Dracaena goldieana when about 1/3 of the soil has gone dry.

Did you know? Your Dracaena goldieana may begin to lean towards the sun. To prevent this and maintain straight plant give it a 1/4 turn every week!
