Dracaena ‘Tornado’ — Dragon Tree is a compact, spiraling Dracaena with tightly twisted leaves that form a dramatic rosette. It’s essentially a sculptural mutation of Dracaena fragrans, bred for its whorled, vortex‑like foliage rather than cane height.
🌱 Care Requirements (Yakima indoor conditions)
-
Light needs — Medium to bright indirect light. Too little light reduces the spiral effect.
-
Watering — Let the top 2–3 inches dry. Fluoride‑sensitive—filtered water prevents brown tips.
-
Humidity — Normal indoor humidity is fine; avoid hot, dry drafts.
-
Soil — Well‑draining potting mix with perlite.
-
Fertilizer — Light monthly feeding in spring–summer.
