Dracaena fragrans Golden Coast (Scented dragon tree)

Appearance of the plant

Long, narrow leaves with a striking golden-yellow edge around a deep green core

Strong, upright trunks with a full crown of leaves

In pots usually 100–200 cm tall; slow growing but can grow much taller in ideal conditions

Location

Bright spot with lots of indirect sunlight

Also tolerates partial shade and does well in areas with less daylight

Avoid prolonged bright midday sun to prevent leaf burn

Water requirement

Water moderately: allow the top layer of potting soil to dry before watering again

Water regularly in spring and summer, more sparingly in winter

Better to tolerate too little than too much water

Winter hardiness

Not winter hardy, only suitable as a houseplant

Fun fact: The Dracaena fragrans gets its name from the wonderfully scented flowers it produces in the wild—something that is rare, but not impossible, among houseplants.
