How to Care for Your Dracaena marginata 'Sunshine'

Place your 'Sunshine' in a location with bright, filtered light to maintain its vibrant striped foliage. It can adapt to lower light environments, but vivid coloring may fade if lighting is too dim. Use a well-draining potting mix and water when the top inch or two of soil is dry. Be cautious of overwatering, as Dracaenas are sensitive to soggy roots.

This plant prefers stable indoor temperatures and low to moderate humidity. Wipe leaves regularly to remove dust and encourage healthy photosynthesis. Avoid exposing it to cold drafts or intense direct sun, which can scorch the foliage.

As it matures, the plant will continue to grow upward with new tufts of foliage, making it a striking yet space-saving vertical accent.
