Green Dracaena plants, often referred to as Corn Plants or Dragon Trees, are popular, low-maintenance houseplants known for their attractive, arching green leaves. They are relatively easy to care for, thriving in bright, indirect light and requiring moderate watering. 

Key characteristics of Green Dracaena:

Appearance:

They feature long, sword-shaped, glossy green leaves that grow in a rosette pattern, often with a slight arch. Some varieties may have a central stripe or red edges on the leaves. 

Size:

Indoor plants can grow up to 6 feet tall, while outdoor varieties in warmer climates can grow much larger. 

Light:

Bright, indirect light is ideal, but they can tolerate lower light conditions. 

Watering:

Water when the top inch of soil is dry, and avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. 

Air Purification:

Dracaenas are known to help purify indoor air by removing toxins like formaldehyde and benzene. 

Toxicity:

They are toxic to pets if ingested, so keep them out of reach of cats and dogs.
