Question
My mother has no clue how to take care of her plant, its supposed to be water'd every 14 days but she does it once a day, can you give my some info to tell her so she dosn't kill her plant!

Answer
Dear Ashley's Mother,

Your draceana marginata is a very hardy plant. When you water it you should water it well so a small amount of water goes in the drain tray. Then do not water it again until it has been bone dry and feels light weight for at least 2 days. This time of year it should not be watered sooner than once every 5-7 days. During the winter it should be watered every 10-14 days.

This plant dies more often from too much water than from too little. Also it likes bright light but not full sun. Near a large north window or a small east or west window is perfect. If you have more questions please write me again. Good luck.
