Key Features

• Dracaena species, including 'Golden Heart', are known to help remove common indoor pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene, and trichloroethylene, contributing to a healthier indoor environment.

• Having greenery like the Dracaena 'Golden Heart' in your space can boost mood and reduce stress, enhancing overall well-being.
  

Care Tips

• Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the pot has proper drainage. Typically, watering every 7–10 days is sufficient, but adjust based on the season and environment. 

•  Prefers moderate humidity levels. If the air is particularly dry, occasional misting or using a pebble tray can help maintain leaf health.

• Ideal temperatures range between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Protect the plant from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

•  Feed monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength.

• Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves to maintain the plant's appearance and health. Pruning can also encourage new growth. 

• Keep an eye out for common indoor plant pests like spider mites and mealybugs. If you notice any infestations, treat the plant with insecticidal soap or neem oil according to the product instructions.
   

With its combination of aesthetic appeal, air-purifying qualities, and low-maintenance care, the Dracaena 'Golden Heart' is an excellent addition to any indoor space.
