3. Humidity: Dracaena Marginata Cane can tolerate average humidity levels, but it appreciates a slightly more humid environment. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves or placing a tray of water near the plant.

4. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix for your Dracaena Marginata Cane. A mix of peat moss, perlite, and regular potting soil works well. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water from sitting in the soil.

5. Temperature: This plant prefers temperatures between 60-75°F (15-24°C). It can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures, but avoid exposing it to cold drafts or temperatures below 55°F (13°C).

6. Fertilizing: Feed your Dracaena Marginata Cane with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Follow the instructions on the fertilizer packaging for the correct dosage.

7. Pruning: If your plant becomes too tall or leggy, you can prune the top portion to encourage branching and a more compact growth habit. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears to make clean cuts.

Remember to rotate your Dracaena Marginata Cane occasionally to ensure even growth and to dust off its leaves. With proper care, your plant will thrive and add a touch of elegance to your space! 🌿😊
