FAQs
How often should I water my Dracaena Bicolour?
Water when the top inch of soil feels slightly dry to the touch. Ensure the soil remains moist but not saturated.
Does this plant need a specific type of soil?
A standard, well-draining houseplant potting mix is perfect for the Dracaena Bicolour.
Can I keep this plant in my bedroom?
Yes, as long as the bedroom remains consistently warm (above 16 degrees C) and receives bright, indirect light.
How large will it get?
While it starts small in a 6cm pot, the plant can reach a mature height of between 1 to 2.5 metres over time.
Is it normal for the bottom leaves to drop off?
As the plant grows taller and matures, it is natural for the older, lower leaves to yellow and fall off.
Troubleshooting
Leaf tips turning brown or crispy
This is often a sign of low humidity or underwatering. Ensure the plant is not near a radiator and maintain consistent moisture.
Yellowing leaves
Usually caused by overwatering or poor drainage. Check the pot to ensure it is not sitting in standing water and allow the topsoil to dry out slightly between waterings.
Leaves losing color or bleaching
The plant is likely receiving too much direct sunlight. Move it to a spot with indirect or filtered light.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Upon receiving your Dracaena Bicolour, place it in a location that stays above 16 degrees Celsius, safely away from air conditioning vents or drafty doorways. To keep your plant healthy over the long term, aim to repot it every 2-3 years. You will know it is time to upgrade the pot when you notice roots beginning to emerge from the drainage holes or if the soil begins to dry out significantly faster than usual. When repotting, use a high-quality, well-draining potting mix. Simply remove the plant carefully from the 6cm pot, place it in a slightly larger container, fill the gaps with fresh soil, and provide a thorough watering to settle the roots.
