The Dracaena brings a tropical touch with its large leaves and palm-like appearance. The 'Malaika Lime' variety stands out with its coloration. Its elongated, rosette-shaped leaves are dark green at the edges and lime green in the center. We love it for the white line sometimes found on its foliage. Its growth is slow, but it can reach up to 3 m in height. Although it tolerates dim light, it is recommended to place it in bright indirect light to promote its growth and vibrancy. Also, it is best to reduce the frequency of repotting, as it prefers to be root-bound.
Warning: risk of toxicity if ingested and irritation if it comes into contact with skin or eyes!
