It belongs to the Asparagaceae family and has become a go-to low light houseplant for indoor spaces that can't offer much direct sun.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Flower_a2da558c-5726-458a-a06c-1a5f7fedc366_480x480.png?v=1600397290\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e  The leaves are long, sword-shaped, and chartreuse to neon yellow-green, fading slightly toward the margins. They emerge from a central rosette at the top of a thick, cane-like stem, fanning outward in a full, layered arrangement. As the plant matures, lower leaves drop naturally and the bare cane lengthens, giving it the upright, tree-like form common to corn plants in the Dracaena fragrans group.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Growing_2961efa3-9828-496c-8a2c-fa57f0dd8914_480x480.png?v=1600399365\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e  Flowering indoors is rare and unpredictable.

It does well near a kitchen, where ambient moisture from cooking and washing keeps the air from drying out too much. Keep it away from air conditioning vents and heating units, both of which can cause leaf tip browning. You can move it outside for the summer in a sheltered spot, but cover it or bring it in during rain, and bring it back indoors before temperatures drop in autumn. Cats, dogs, and toddlers should be kept away from it; the leaves and stems are harmful if nibbled or eaten, so a high shelf or an out-of-reach spot works well.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Sun_65296975-26d8-49a3-83b6-b7b0ed15ae73_480x480.png?v=1600397323\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Sun_65296975-26d8-49a3-83b6-b7b0ed15ae73_480x480.png?v=1600397323\" class=\"ls-is-cached lazyloaded\" alt=\"\"\u003e \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e  Dracaena 'Lime Light' grows well under office fluorescent or LED lighting and in bright indirect light indoors.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Water_d9b740b9-bfce-41c4-ae3e-16bf9678c77f_480x480.png?v=1600397177\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Water_d9b740b9-bfce-41c4-ae3e-16bf9678c77f_480x480.png?v=1600397177\" class=\"ls-is-cached lazyloaded\" alt=\"\"\u003e \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e  Water it every 10 to 14 days, letting the top inch of soil dry out between waterings.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Soil_40a149eb-9d43-4bf0-ac38-159c702c72f2_480x480.png?v=1600397158\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Soil_40a149eb-9d43-4bf0-ac38-159c702c72f2_480x480.png?v=1600397158\" class=\"ls-is-cached lazyloaded\" alt=\"\"\u003e \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e  Limelight Dracaena does best in a well-draining, peat-based potting mix with added perlite.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Temperature.png?v=1613688445\" alt=\"\"\u003e \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e  It prefers temperatures between 65°F and 80°F and should not drop below 50°F.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg height=\"16\" width=\"16\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Fertilizer_5853ff19-6010-410a-a082-3abe233cb8d2_480x480.png?v=1600399297\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"\"\u003e \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e  Limelight Dracaena is a slow grower; feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during spring and summer.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg height=\"16\" width=\"16\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Spackle_0b1c313b-e538-42e0-8818-7f0bdf63d530_480x480.png?v=1600397104\" alt=\"\"\u003e \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e  It is hardy in USDA zones 10 to 12, where frost is not a regular occurrence and temperatures stay above 30°F year-round.

Check the top inch of soil before watering rather than following a fixed schedule.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can Limelight Dracaena handle a south-facing window?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: A south-facing window is too intense. Direct sun bleaches and scorches the leaves, leaving pale or brown patches that won't recover. A few feet back from an east or west window works better.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How long can it go without water if I'm traveling?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Limelight Dracaena can go up to ten days without a watering. Overwatering is a more common problem than drought stress, so err on the side of waiting rather than watering before you leave.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can Limelight Dracaena go outside in summer?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Yes, move it outside once nighttime temperatures stay reliably above 55°F. Choose a spot with shade or filtered light, and cover it or bring it indoors on rainy days to avoid waterlogged soil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Why are the tips of my plant's leaves turning brown?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Limelight Dracaena is sensitive to dry air from heaters and air conditioning. Brown tips are most often caused by low humidity or a heating or cooling vent blowing directly onto the foliage. Moving it away from vents usually slows the browning.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"House Plant Dropship","offers":[{"title":"6\" Pot","offer_id":47266721169582,"sku":"6_DRACAENA_LIMELIGHT","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Dracaena_Lime_Light_6.png?v=1766113975","url":"https:\/\/succulentsbox.live\/products\/dracaena-lime-light","provider":"Succulents Box","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
