Care for Dracaena Red Ruby

1. Light: The plant prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can burn its leaves, so it’s best to place it in a spot with filtered sunlight or partial shade.
2. Water: Water when the top inch of the soil is dry. Be careful not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot. In the winter months, reduce watering as the plant’s growth slows down.
3. Humidity: The Ruby Dracaena plant prefers moderate humidity. You can increase humidity by misting the plant with water or placing a humidifier nearby.
4. Temperature: The plant prefers temperatures between 60-80°F (15-27°C) and should be protected from drafts and extreme temperature fluctuations.
5. Fertilizer: Fertilize the plant with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every two weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). In the winter months, fertilize every 4-6 weeks.
