Prefers soil that is well-drained but damp. Use your finger to feel for moisture in the soil. Watering is necessary if the top 2-4" (5-10 cm) of soil is dry or if the plants are wilting. If at all possible, apply water at the soil's surface to prevent wetting the foliage.
Don'ts
Avoid positioning your Dracaena in an area where it will be exposed to direct sunlight as this might scorch the leaves and cause damage.
