Dracaenas are a darling in the indoor plant community for their easy-going nature and the drama they add to any space. The Compacta, as the name suggests, is a tightly groomed variety that does not change its shape and grows steadily over time making it an ideal for many homes.
When grown as a kokedama, it requires specific care to thrive. Here are some care tips:
Watering
1. Soak Method: Submerge the kokedama in a bowl of water for about 10-15 minutes until it feels heavy and fully saturated. Let it drain thoroughly before placing it back in its spot.
2. Frequency: Water the kokedama when it feels light or the moss starts to dry out. This typically means watering once a week , depending on environmental conditions.
Light
• Indirect Light: Dracaena Compacta prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light levels, but avoid direct sunlight, which can cause leaf burn.
Humidity
• Moderate Humidity: While Dracaena Compacta is relatively tolerant of average indoor humidity, misting the moss and leaves occasionally can help maintain humidity, especially in dry environments.
Maintenance
1. Pruning: Remove any yellow or damaged leaves to keep the plant healthy and looking its best.
2. Fertilizing: Feed your Dracaena Compacta kokedama with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
Placement
• Stable Environment: Keep the kokedama in a stable environment away from drafts, heating vents, or sudden temperature changes.
Proper care will ensure that your Dracaena Compacta kokedama remains healthy and continues to enhance your indoor space with its compact, attractive foliage.
