With bright, glossy yellow-green leaves, the bushy, tropical foliage of ‘Limelight’ makes this woody-stemmed Dracaena an ideal, drought-tolerant, and easy to maintain choice for home or office settings. Tough and durable, this brightly leaved variety of dragon tree seems to glow in low-light environments maturing to a lime-green; in fact, keeping it in a shady spot will help to maintain the dramatic colouring.
Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from. - Home care: Water well in the growing season, but less so in winter. Misting the leaves with water will help keep the humidity levels high, as well as keeping the leaves dust-free. Repot in spring every couple of years and keep temperatures above 10°C in winter.
- Pets: Harmful if eaten
