Dracena

Scientific Name:

Dracaena fragrans

Dracaena thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with indirect light to partial sun and requires moderate watering. This plant offers shelter and food for small insects, contributing to biodiversity in both indoor and outdoor spaces. Known for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, certain parts of the plant have been used in folk medicine to treat respiratory conditions and skin issues. Dracaena fragrans is also renowned for its air-purifying abilities, often kept indoors to improve air quality by removing toxins like formaldehyde.
