Dracaena 'Argentea-tessera' care

Collectors know Dracaena 'Argentea-tessera' for its steady pace; it keeps a slow climber even in imperfect corners.

It does best in low to medium light, though it tolerates brief departures without sulking. It prefers to be watered weekly in summer and fortnightly in winter, and it will forgive a missed week far better than a doubled one.

Aim for occasional misting in dry rooms and use a free-draining cactus-leaning mix — roots here want air as much as water. New leaves emerge paler and darken over their first fortnight.
