Description
Dracaena Massangeana, sold widely as the corn plant, is a single cane Dracaena whose broad arching leaves carry a pale yellow band down the centre.
Stocked at 80cm, 100cm, 120cm and 140cm, from AED 180 to AED 480 across the height and pot combinations, nursery or ceramic.
This plant grows from a cut length of woody cane, and the exposed top of that cut is its weak point. In homes where pots are watered from above and the room stays cool and slow to dry, water settles there and the tissue softens downward.
How to care for Dracaena Massangeana in the UAE
Moderate to bright indirect light, water into the compost around the pot edge rather than over the crown, and let the top third dry between waterings. The common failure is a soft, dark cane at soil level, which will not firm up again.
Where Dracaena Massangeana works best
Dining corners, home offices and hotel style bedrooms suit the upright habit, and the 140cm plant fills the gap beside a wardrobe. Browse the plants that tolerate dim corners.
FAQ
Does the corn plant flower indoors?
Occasionally, on older plants. It sends up a branched spike of small cream flowers, scented at night, that drips sticky sap. Most owners cut it off.
Why is the yellow centre stripe fading?
Too little light. The stripe holds best in bright indirect conditions and washes out toward plain green in a dark room over a season.
Plants Care
Watering:
Water your plant once a week or when the soil starts to feel slightly dry on the surface. Keep the soil consistently moist, but be careful not to overwater, as this can cause brown spots and leaf drop. If the leaves become curly or dry, it's a sign that the plant needs water. It's best to water your plant in the early morning or late evening when the temperatures are cooler. Always check the soil before watering.
Light:
Provide bright indoor light or indirect sunlight for about 6 to 8 hours a day.
Temperature:
Maintain temperatures between 18°C and 24°C. Avoid exposing the plant to drafts, as these can cause undesirable temperature fluctuations. Mist the plant occasionally, about twice a week, to help maintain optimal humidity levels.
Fertilizer:
Apply liquid fertiliser every 15 days when the plant is actively growing. For best results, use Folikraft ready-to-use Indoor Plant Food.

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! We ensure that every plant we send out meets two key criteria:
- We carefully inspect each plant for signs of root rot, pests, disease, and unhealthy foliage or stems. If we find any issues, we don’t ship the plant. This meticulous care ensures that every plant is healthy and ready to thrive in its new home.
- We ask ourselves if we’d proudly display the plant in our own homes and if it matches the online photos. If both answers are yes, we ship it. However, if you're not happy with your plant, we offer a hassle-free replacement within 14 days of delivery.
Yes, we strive to match the appearance of the plants shown online. While natural variations in color, shape, and size are to be expected, we do our best to ensure your plant closely resembles its online image.
Your plant will arrive in its nursery pot to ensure safe transportation. We recommend leaving it in this pot for at least 6 to 12 months to acclimate to your home’s environment. For succulents, which acclimate faster, we may replant them before shipping.
Consider the following:
- Light: A bright, indirect light spot offers more plant options than a shady area.
- Time: Some plants need minimal care, while others require more attention.
- Style: Choose plants that match your aesthetic, whether tree-like with large leaves or vining varieties.
