Common Name: Dracaena Dorado, Corn Plant

Scientific Name: Dracaena fragrans 'Dorado'

-Care Recommendations By The Dude-

Best for These Animals: Small and medium sized reptiles and amphibians from tropical and temperate climate zones.

Bio Dude Substrates: TerraFlora, TerraFauna, TerraFirma & some TerraAranea

Soil Depth: All soil depths suitable with proper drainage.

Lighting: Low to medium indirect light preferred; can tolerate high light but may turn lighter green.  Placement directly under a basking or heat lamp may result in burnt leaves.

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

Mature Plant Size & Root System: This variety can get several feet tall over time, but doesn't get very wide.  However, it can be selectively pruned to keep size in-check.  Root system can eventually get extensive, but not usually invasive in an enclosure.

Temperature Tolerance & Placement in the Terrarium: Prefers temperatures in the 65 to 80 degree Fahrenheit range, but can take between 60 and 85 degrees.  If pruned to keep size low, it can be used as a lower understory plant, or, if allowed to grow tall over time, it can be used as a background plant or corner placement. 

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.
