Dracaena 'Silvergleam' care

Among the quieter members of the genus, Dracaena 'Silvergleam' forms a slow climber and settles quickly indoors.

Give it morning sun with afternoon shade; leaf colour fades noticeably in darker spots. It prefers to be watered when the top third of the mix is dry, and it will forgive a missed week far better than a doubled one.

Aim for occasional misting in dry rooms and use a chunky aroid mix — roots here want air as much as water. Propagation is straightforward from stem cuttings rooted in water.
