Common Name: Dracaena Compacta or Dracaena Twister

Scientific Name: Dracaena fragrans 'Janet Craig Compacta'

Compared to other varieties of dracaena, this one is much more compact and can stay shorter over time, especially when selectively pruned.  It has dark, almost glossy, solid green leaves.

-Care Recommendations By The Dude-

Best for These Animals: All sizes of tropical and temperate-dwelling reptiles and amphibians, including dart frogs, chameleons, anoles, tree skinks, corn snake, ball python, and various arboreal (tree-dwelling) reptiles and amphibians. 

Bio Dude Substrates: TerraFlora, TerraFauna, TerraFirma & some Terra Aranea

Soil Depth: All soil depths suitable with proper drainage.

Lighting: Low to medium indirect light; can tolerate high light, but may turn lighter green.   

Humidity & Misting: 40%-95%, can tolerate less than 40%, but higher humidity is suggested for optimal growth.

Mature Plant Size & Root System: This compact variety of dracaena will stay short longer, yet is a quick grower. If the stem is cut it will form new shoots from that location. Root system will burrow deep for anchorage but is not invasive.

Temperature Tolerance & Placement in the Terrarium: Too high temperatures/low humidity may cause leaves to brown. Can be used as front/low understory planting, especially if pruned back to maintain compact size, or can be used as background or corner placement as it grows taller.

Edible & Side Effects if Ingested: Non-toxic if consumed, though these are typically used for ornamental, not edible, purposes.

Pot Size & Packaging: A single 6" potted dracaena plant is shipped in the pot, wrapped in paper.
