Pro Tips

Like most Dracaena, the Lime Light is sensitive to fluoride in tap water — brown leaf tips are a telltale sign. Switch to filtered or distilled water if you notice this. To keep that vivid lime-green color at its most intense, give it as much bright indirect light as possible. Rotate the pot every few weeks for even, balanced growth on all sides.
