Dracaena godseffiana 'Silver' is a tropical evergreen plant from the Asparagaceae family, valued for its decorative foliage with silvery variegation. Native to West Africa, this cultivar stands out for its compact appearance and variegated leaves, making it ideal as a houseplant for apartments, offices, or modern interiors. Unlike other dracaenas, it has a bushy form rather than an elongated one.
Appearance of leaves, flowers, and fruits
- Leaves: The leaves are oval, 5-10 cm long, arranged spirally on thin stems, dark green with irregular silvery or creamy-white lines. The texture is glossy, and the variegation gives a shiny visual effect, similar to silver dust. The foliage is dense and remains attractive throughout the year.
- Flowers: Flowers are rare indoors, but when they appear, they are small, white or greenish, grouped in clusters, with a subtle scent. Flowering is more frequent under optimal light and humidity conditions.
- Fruits: It produces small, red-orange berries, but these are extremely rare in cultivation and have no ornamental value.
Growth characteristics
- Height and width: Reaches 30-60 cm in height and 30-45 cm in width, forming a compact, branched shrub.
- Vigor: Slow growth, ideal for small spaces. Develops thin stems that can become slightly woody at the base.
- Type: Evergreen perennial plant, grown as a houseplant.
Growing conditions
- Exposure: Prefers bright indirect light, ideally near an east- or west-facing window. Tolerates low light, but variegation becomes less intense. Avoid direct light, which can burn the leaves.
- Soil: Grows in well-drained substrate based on peat, with perlite or sand (e.g., mix for houseplants). Pots must have drainage holes.
- Watering: Water moderately, once every 7-10 days, allowing the top 2-3 cm of substrate to dry out between waterings. Avoid excess water, which causes root rot.
- Temperature: Hardy in zones 10-12 (down to 10°C), prefers temperatures of 18-24°C. Avoid cold drafts or temperatures below 15°C. Suitable as a houseplant in Romania.
- Humidity: Tolerates average indoor humidity (40-50%), but prefers higher humidity (60-70%). Occasionally mist the leaves or use a humidifier.
Care and resistance
- Resistance: Resistant to indoor conditions but sensitive to overwatering and direct light. May attract spider mites or mealybugs; inspect regularly and treat with insecticidal soap. Tolerates occasional neglect well.
- Fertilizing: Apply a liquid fertilizer for green plants (e.g., 10-10-10 diluted) once a month in spring and summer. Suspend fertilizing in winter.
- Pruning: Cut dry or damaged leaves at the base. To maintain a compact shape, pinch the tips of long stems. Cut stems can be used for propagation.
- Propagation: Propagated by stem or tip cuttings, planted in moist substrate at 20-24°C. Cutting is simple and effective.
Dracaena godseffiana 'Silver' is ideal as a houseplant, decorating windowsills, offices, or tables. The variegated foliage with silver spots adds brightness to spaces, combining well with other tropical plants such as pothos or snake plant. It suits modern, minimalist interiors or low-light spaces. It can be used in decorative pots or as an accent plant.
Origin
Native to West Africa (Guinea, Sierra Leone), Dracaena godseffiana naturally grows in shaded tropical forests. The 'Silver' cultivar was selected for its silvery variegation, becoming popular in indoor gardening due to its decorative appearance and adaptability.
Height including pot: 25-35 cm

Nice simple effective inexpensive watch
Color: Black, Size: One Size
I just ordered my second one of these. They are cheap, keep good time, show me the date, and last a long time. My last one lasted over 10 years. The only thing wrong with the last one was that the battery needed replacement (I think it was only the second time it had needed a battery in all the years I had owned it) at the same time the band wore out and broke. Rather than buy a new battery plus a new band, I just got a new one. I am hard on watches, and this one stood up very well. I regularly shower and swim with it on, and no problems.
It doesn't have a lot of functions I don't need, like stopwatch, multiple time zones, etc. I have found those things more of a bother than a benefit, because any time you bump the knob against something, the display changes and you're always pressing all the buttons multiple times just to get the simple info needed- like what time is it and what is the date
DEC 2020 UPDATE - I am ordering another one of these. The last one, I bought in mid 2019. Early in 2020, the date function quit working. By the end of November, the whole thing quit working. I know it's not the battery, because the light still works. So I am reducing my review by one star, and we'll see how well a new one does. The watch before the current one lasted about 10 years, so getting only a little over a year out of the current one is not good. Perhaps the current one just wasn't as good as the previous ones. It's entirely possible that they keep making the same watch out of lesser and lesser materials and workmanship.

Timex. Life is ticking.
Color: Black, Size: One Size
A family member is headed off to Navy boot camp and is required to have a watch-a black watch. But...it cannot be anything in the realm of, be like, or indeed be an Apple Watch. The search began for a simple timepiece. Economy was important since after the 8 weeks of boot camp ended, use of the current watch would be resumed. Enter Timex...(the world's largest manufacturer of watches and mechanical time fuses). During the Amazon search there were all manner of economically (actually cheap) watches noted to be available, so many that it was simply overwhelming. Timex...tried and true since 1854 (just a fun fact, but actually attests to the quality of the company) was the chosen one. A simple but reliable timepiece was required, and certain qualifications were needed. First, it had to be an accurate time keeper and have a second hand, and have a date indicator. Secondly, there had to be an element of water resistance (this is Navy boot camp after all, so water is important!). Thirdly, it had to be black. Fourth, no bells or whistles whatsoever. Finally, a face with 24 hour/military time would be a bonus. This Timex Rugged Core Expedition Analog Watch fit the bill. Upon arrival it was packaged in a traditionally square box the size of the watch, no frills but sturdy enough to ward off damage during shipping. Once opened the first thing noticed was the face of the watch. It was black, with white numerals in both standard and 24 hour/military time, had a red second hand, luminescent hour and minute hands, and date indicator. The nylon band was also black, had ridges, and had a fastener like a belt. At the end of the band were two extrusions which seemed to lock the excess band into place once it was fastened. After wearing a number of days, the watch has kept excellent time matching the Apple Watch. Both watches were worn on the same arm at the same during the day and during sleep. They were worn during regular daily activities, during exercise and during strenuous garden work such as hauling, digging holes, dragging 40 lb bags, etc. Time was checked multiple times per day, and the time on each watch was exactly the same every time checked. The Timex was water resistant during a 5 minute shower and while submerged water. This is not a dive watch but, according to the ad, is water resistant to 50 feet for light swimming. The performance of this watch has been more than satisfactory executing in stellar fashion everything it was stated to be able to do. I can recommend this watch for boot camp purposes without reservation.
Top 3 Likes:
-Reliable keeping accurate time, has military time numerals
-Is water resistant as tested
-Is black, attractive with luminescent hands, second hand, date, and light up face
Top 3 Dislikes:
-The band is stiff and somewhat difficult to latch
-The two little extrusions do anchor the band, but are difficult to undo to take off the watch
-Only two dislikes!

Timesx quality still rules.
Color: Black, Size: One Size
Excellent everyday watch. Stylish, easy to read, and accurate. Needed a knock around watch and this puts up with it's share of abuse. It's a bit more expensive than some others in this class, but Timex is well-worth the money in quality. I use mine for eveything except when I need something more formal.

Dependability and accuracy
Color: Black, Size: One Size
This watch is awful, I had it for a month and it lags behind and does not keep the right date. I am a nurse so I need to have accuracy and dependability and this watch is not it.
