FAQs
FAQs
Is Dracaena Tricolor toxic to pets?
Yes — it's genuinely toxic to cats and dogs and can cause vomiting, drooling, and dilated pupils in cats if eaten. Keep well out of reach.
How much water does it need?
Let it dry out between waterings but not completely — it's more prone to root rot than to underwatering.
Can I use tap water?
Dracaena is sensitive to fluoride, which can cause brown leaf tips. Non-fluoridated or filtered water is best where possible.
