3-Step Care Guide for Your Dracaena Rikki:
Light and Location:  Dracaena Rikki thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. An east-facing window is ideal. Avoid harsh afternoon sun, which can scorch the leaves. Rotate your plant regularly to ensure even growth.
Watering:  Overwatering is the enemy of Dracaena Rikki. Let the top inch of soil dry completely before watering again. Stick your finger into the soil to check for moisture. Underwatering is less harmful, so err on the side of dryness.
Temperature and Maintenance:  Your Dracaena Rikki prefers comfortable room temperatures between 65°F and 75°F. Keep it away from cold drafts and heat vents. Wipe the leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to remove dust and prevent pests.  Fertilize monthly during spring and summer with a diluted houseplant fertilizer.
