Watering

Press a finger an inch into the soil. When it feels dry at that depth, give a modest, measured amount of room-temperature water, enough to moisten the root ball, never a flood. Because it arrives in its grower's pot, set it in a planter of your own or on a protective tray before watering. In winter, water less often.

Why a compact cane

NC State Extension describes Dracaena fragrans as slow-growing and tolerant of deep shade. That slow, steady habit is why a small branched cane keeps its miniature-tree silhouette in a tiny space.
