Lazy Gardener’s Savior: The Easy-Care Guide to Dracaena Malaika

The care difficulty of Dracaena Malaika is not high; it is a low-maintenance plant that is very suitable for beginners or lazy gardeners. Here are the key points for its care:
  • Light: Dracaena Malaika prefers bright, indirect light but can also adapt to lower light conditions. It should be kept away from direct sunlight, as strong rays may scorch the leaves. It can be placed within 6 feet of a south-facing window.
  • Water: It has moderate water requirements but does not like overly wet soil. Water thoroughly only when the soil surface is dry, typically about once every 12 days. During winter when the plant’s growth slows down, the watering interval should be longer.
  • Soil: Choosing well-draining soil is crucial to prevent root rot from waterlogging. You can mix some perlite into regular succulent soil to improve drainage.
  • Fertilizer: Dracaena Malaika grows slowly and does not need frequent fertilization. Apply a diluted indoor plant fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer), and no fertilizer is needed in winter.
  • Temperature and Humidity: It has a wide temperature tolerance range, with suitable summer temperatures between 20-25℃, and it should be kept above 10℃ in winter. Although Dracaena Malaika prefers higher humidity, it can also adapt to typical indoor humidity levels.
