23-Year-Old Dracaena Blooms: Maturity and Continued Care

Identity

Likely Dracaena hookeriana or D. marginata—both reach 9–10 ft at that age.

Reached reproductive maturity. Fragrant white spike balls are typical.

Continue exactly as you have: weekly/biweekly watering, monthly fertilizer. You've succeeded for 23 years—don't change.

Congratulations on a rare indoor flowering event!
