Dracaenas are a group of houseplants you just can't go wrong with. They're among the easiest indoor plants around, and their changing features will ensure you never get tired of them. Young plants are small and bushy, making them perfect for desks and tabletops. Older Dracaenas develop woody stems and become tree-like.

The closest relative of the Compacta is the Dracaena Janet Craig, but the Compacta is quite different in appearance and highly distinguishable from most other interior Dracaena, having a green stem and very tightly compacted clusters of leaves that are only 2 to 4 inches in length from the base of the cane. 

This Dracaena in particular is also recommended by NASA's Clean Air Study for it's air purifying attributes. Add one (or a combination of different purifying plants) for every 100 sq. ft. of indoor space and say goodbye to 90% of your indoor toxins!

 Medium to bright indirect light is preferred.

Lightly when the soil surface gets dry.
