Dracaena Kiwi, a vibrant member of the Dracaena family, is a visual treat with its strikingly variegated leaves flaunting shades of green, yellow, and creamy white. Originating in tropical regions, this plant brings a burst of color and a touch of the exotic to any indoor space. Known for its resilience and adaptability, Dracaena Kiwi is an ideal choice for plant enthusiasts of all skill levels, thriving with minimal care.

With easyplant, watering your Dracaena Kiwi is a breeze. Simply check the easyplant reservoir once a month and fill it when empty, and you're all set!

Dracaena Kiwi grows best in a space with bright indirect light, where the sun rays are diffused. Avoid placing it in spaces with low light or spaces without natural sunlight.

Caring for your Dracaena Kiwi is a journey of vibrant growth and easy maintenance. To ensure your Dracaena Kiwi thrives, provide it with bright, filtered light. This exposure will help maintain its striking variegation and promote healthy growth. Regularly dusting the leaves with a microfiber cloth and rotating the pot by a quarter turn each month will support even growth and ensure that all sides of the plant receive adequate light.

The Dracaena Kiwi has a compact, upright growth habit, typically reaching 3-5 feet in height. Its moderate growth rate makes it a versatile addition to various indoor spaces, providing vertical interest without the worry of rapid overgrowth.

Dracaena Kiwi enjoys the warm, stable temperatures of indoor environments, ideally between 65°F and 75°F (18°C – 24°C). Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes. Average indoor humidity is suitable, but a bit more humidity can be beneficial, achievable by grouping a few plants together or using a pebble tray.

Dracaena Kiwi is toxic if ingested, so make sure to keep it out of reach of pets and curious children. Ingestion may cause mild irritation, so it's advisable to place the plant out of easy reach.

If you notice the lower, outer leaves of your Dracaena turning brown, don't worry too much. This is a natural process of aging. Simply wait for these leaves to loosen naturally, then carefully remove them to make way for new growth.

Brown leaf tips or yellowing leaves can indicate environmental stress, such as low humidity or improper watering. Adjust your care routine accordingly. Ensure the plant is not in direct sunlight, which can cause leaf scorch, and make sure you're not overfilling your easyplant' reservoir. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings to avoid overwatering.

Observing your Dracaena Kiwi's response to its environment and adjusting care as needed will help maintain its health and vibrancy. Remember, a little attention and observation go a long way in keeping your Dracaena Kiwi thriving and brightening your space with its tropical charm.
