Best Locations For Growing Lemon Lime Warneckii Dracaena
The Lemon Lime Warneckii Dracaena adds a vibrant splash of color, making it perfect for living rooms, bedrooms, or home offices. Its compact footprint works well for corners or small spaces. Due to its air-purifying properties, it’s ideal for spaces where clean air is prioritized. However, this plant is toxic if ingested, so it’s best kept out of reach of pets and young children.
Lemon Lime Warneckii Dracaena Sunlight Requirements
This Dracaena thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate medium and low light. For optimal growth, place it near an east or west-facing window. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its variegated leaves. If necessary, use sheer curtains to diffuse intense light in sunny locations.
Lemon Lime Warneckii Dracaena Care
This plant requires minimal maintenance and adapts well to various indoor environments. Use a well-draining soil mix, such as one for houseplants with added perlite, to support its shallow root system. Repot every 2–3 years, or when roots outgrow the pot, choosing a container just slightly larger.
Watering Lemon Lime Warneckii Dracaena
Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, typically every 10–14 days. Use filtered or distilled water, as this plant is sensitive to fluoride and chlorine in tap water. Overwatering can cause root rot, so ensure the pot has proper drainage. In winter, reduce watering frequency as growth slows.
Feeding Lemon Lime Warneckii Dracaena
Feed every 6 weeks during spring, summer, and fall using a liquid fertilizer formulated for houseplants at half the recommended strength. To achieve this, dilute the fertilizer with twice the amount of water suggested on the label. Skip feeding in winter when the plant's growth naturally slows.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
