A tall, broad-leafed Dracaena, similar to Dracaena Burley in colouring, but with less regular markings. The lovely strong, yellow stripe along the leaf centre looks like it has been applied with a paint brush, with delightful streaks and missing segments.
The multi-stem version is a unique look that gives height and tiered levels of foliage.
It is a tough and resilient specimen and will tolerate some shade as well as helping to clean the air of toxins. It’s full technical Latin name is Dracaena fragrans steudneri ‘Cintho’.

🪴Manage and maintain! Inconsistent levels of water, temperature and light can damage some leaves beyond repair. Thankfully these can be torn in half lengthways and pulled out.
🪴Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust. Avoid using leaf shine as this may damage the leaves.
🪴Too dry for too long! Not watering often enough will cause the tips to turn brown. If you are watering often, the issue is the humidity. Time to start spraying.
Light
Dracaena needs moderate to bright indirect light and is ideal for offices or fluorescent lighting. Avoid direct sunlight as this may burn or bleach the leaves.
Watering
Water when the soil starts to dry-out at the top. Water well and allow to drain thoroughly. Relatively drought tolerant. Do not overwater as this will cause the leaf tips to blacken.
Temperature
Fragrans Massangeana prefers average household temperatures between 16-24°C but can cope with as low as 12°C for short periods.
Humidity
Dracaena are hardy houseplants and will do well in normal room humidity, however they do prefer higher humidity and will benefit from occasional misting.
Feed
Apply a weak dose of a fertiliser once or twice a month during the growing season.
Height & Growth Rate
