Dracaena Massangeana (Corn Plant) Care and Cat Safety

Basic Care

Dracaena fragrans 'Massangeana' thrives on neglect:

• Water only when top 2 inches of soil are dry.
• Fertilize every 3 months with soluble fertilizer (Miracle-Gro, Peters).
• Provide 5+ hours of bright, indirect light.
• Ensure pot has drainage—standing water kills roots.

Cat Toxicity

Dracaena contains saponins that can cause vomiting, drooling, and dilated pupils if ingested. Many cats ignore it, but keep it out of reach if your cat chews plants.
