Planting & styling guide
Settling in & repotting
- Lift the pot, never a single cane.
- Allow it to settle before unnecessary repotting.
- When roots are crowded, move up one pot size.
- Keep the canes at the existing soil line.
- Use an airy mix and remove water trapped in any outer cover.
Care in a Hong Kong home
- Root checkLet the upper mix dry before watering; inspect deeper soil in a large pot.
- Leaf tipsBrown tips can reflect water quality, salt build-up or dry drafts; check these before feeding more.
- DaylightLet light reach lower heads as well as the top, with protection from harsh sun.
- New growthJudge recovery by new leaves. Damaged tips will not turn green again.

Frequently asked questions
Dracaena Compacta
Does Compacta stay the same height?
Compacta describes its dense growth habit, not a guarantee of a fixed lifetime height. Canes can grow over time.
Why is growth slow?
This form grows relatively slowly, especially indoors in weaker light. More water or stronger feed will not safely speed it up.
Can I spray water into the leaf heads?
Avoid leaving water trapped among tight leaves. Clean gently and maintain airflow instead.
What height will I receive?
The old image labels 30–90 cm as mature height, rather than a confirmed sale size. Please ask us for the current supplied height.
