	House Plant Identification - July Newsletter - Flower Shop Network
		The plants we grow most often in our homes are usually juvenile forms of potentially much larger tropical plants, but given the limitations of space, light, humidity, and nutrition, it's not likely that they would ever reach mature size.
		Dracaenas are well adapted to indoor growing conditions, being fairly undemanding as to light and moisture requirements.
		These are plants of the forest floor in their native tropics, and thus are well adapted to the low light conditions of most homes and offices.

	How to Care for Your Dracaena, Dracaena Care, Plant Care, Marginata, Massangeana
		Growing 1,000's of plants is the most powerful way to learn their proper care.
		In fact, if you asked a plant care professional, like myself, to drop by for a visit and help you learn about plant care, you'd be charged in the neighborhood of $75 to $100 per hour, not including travel time.
		Do you know someone just starting with plants and want to give them a indoor plant they'll be able to keep looking good with little effort or maybe you need a really versatile plant for a particular space with low lighting or you just want to try something different.

	Brian's Garden - Dracaena (February 11, 2003) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The plants genus name, Dracaena, is derived from the Greek word drakaina which means a 'dragon' and alludes to the sap or juice of the stems of Dracaena draco, which was said to resemble dragon's blood.
		Young dracaena plants naturally have leaves located at the base of the plant, but as the plants mature, they lose their bottom leaves, thus giving the plant a palm-like appearance.
		A plant that is growing very slowly or is not growing at all during the growing season (not the dormant period) is often suffering from over-watering or water-logged soil.

	Dracaena fragrans ( Warneckei Corn Plant )
		Good planting sites are under a mid to large sized tree that lets some light through their branches or beneath taller plants that will provide some protection.
		Containers are excellent when used as an ornamental feature, a planting option when there is little or no soil to plant in, or for plants that require a soil type not found in the garden or when soil drainage in the garden is inferior.
		Indoor plants need to be transplanted into a larger container periodically, or they become pot/root-bound and their growth is retarded.

	Effects of Moisture Stress During Simulated Shipping on Quality of Dracaena 'Massangeana', Dwarf Schefflera and Weeping ...
		Plant grade and weight results for weeping fig show that, under the conditions of these tests, weeping fig quality was maintained only when plants were watered on the day simulated shipping began.
		Dracaena 'Massangeana' in experiment 1 seemed unaffected by simulated shipping treatments but in experiment 2, when plants were maintained under simulated indoor conditions for 6 weeks, foliage damage decreased as length of time between watering and initiation of simulated shipping increased.
		Plants, container and growing medium were weighed together as a unit immediately before simulated shipping was initiated on July 19, and again immediately after plants were removed from coolers on August 2, 1991.

	Dracaena aletriformis
		The large-leaved dragon tree is a wonderful, showy foliage plant with large strap-shaped leaves in rosettes at the tips of the branches, ideal for shady areas.
		The name Dracaena is derived from the Greek word drakaina = a female dragon, perhaps because the milky juice of Dracaena draco dries to a resinous powder used as a colorant, 'dragon's blood'.
		Dracaenas are relatively disease-free and any sign of poor health will most likely have something to do with incorrect watering or positioning.

	Dracaena
		Most of us have at least one dracaena in our home or office as it is one of the plant that easily survive indoors even when the conditions are far from ideal.
		Dracaenas need plenty of light, filtered through a curtain if indoors, or in a semi-shaded spot on our balconies because direct sunlight can damage their leaves, especially during the warm months of summer.
		Good solutions that provide humidity to plants are the use of a humidifier, or grouping of the plants on the tray with pebbles that you always keep moist so that the plants will absorb the humidity of the water as it dries out.
