I don’t remember the origins of this plant, but I think Leon bought it. We’ve had it about five years. It has grown pretty slowly and isn’t looking perfect, but it is an attractive version of this common houseplant. Surprisingly we don’t have a lot of houseplants, since most of those plants are out in the greenhouse.

We keep it in the kitchen and just water it whenever we think of it or when there is water left in a drinking glass. One reason it maybe has some brown tips and dead leaves is that someone possibly watered it with some flavored seltzer water, possibly with some vodka included. Oops. Turns out Dracaena can’t hold their liquor.

Future plans for this plant will be to fertilize it a bit and trim off some of the brown leaves. I may root prune it and pot it back into fresh soil next spring, too.
