Watering

Press a finger an inch or two 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. The sealed planter keeps your floors dry, so a little at a time is always the better choice. In winter, when growth slows, water less often.

Why a Compacta medley works on a credenza

The University of Florida's IFAS extension rates Dracaena deremensis as shade-tolerant. In a row, the slow-growing 'Compacta' form makes a dense, low hedge of green that stays neat with almost no trimming.
