Indoor Dracaena Fragrans Compacta (Compact Corn), Type 1B, 5LP, 50-60CM

Dracaena fragrans 'Compacta', commonly known as the compact corn plant, is a popular indoor plant known for its attractive, dense clusters of narrow, dark green leaves. It's a cultivar of the species Dracaena fragrans, and it has a more compact growth habit compared to the standard variety, making it well-suited for smaller spaces.

Here are a few care tips:

Light: It prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light levels. However, too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves.
Watering: Allow the top 1-2 inches of soil to dry out before watering. It's important not to overwater, as the plant is susceptible to root rot. Be sure the pot has good drainage.
Temperature: It thrives in temperatures between 60-75°F (15-24°C). Avoid exposing it to drafts or cold temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
Humidity: Dracaena plants generally prefer moderate humidity, but they are quite adaptable to average household conditions.
Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce fertilizing in the fall and winter when the plant's growth slows down.
Pruning: If the plant gets too tall or leggy, you can prune the stems to keep it looking more compact. New growth will emerge from the cut points.
It's a low-maintenance plant that's also known for being relatively pest-resistant.
