Dracaena Warneckii |
To illustrate my point I have a little indoor plant story or two to tell. I just love to tell silly plant stories!
The first interior landscape company that I worked for as an interior plant technician was Tiffany's Decorative Plants in Fremont, California. This company no longer exists as it was eventually bought out by the larger interior landscape company called Ambius.
Back to my Warneckii story...
One of the accounts that I serviced for Tiffany's was a french restaurant called Papillon on Mission Blvd. in Fremont, California. Intended to be a romantic place to eat, the interior was so dark in one of the dining rooms that I had to find the plants almost by feel, even with the lights on. If you have ever eaten there you will know what I mean.
There was very limited lighting. Dracaena Warneckii was the only large interior plant we could find that would live more than a month or so in this poor lighting. We used Warneckii Canes which were about five feet tall. They would eventually lose almost all of their foliage but would look pretty good for six months or more. Then they would be replaced and returned to the greenhouse to recuperate or be sold at a plant sale.
Another interior landscape account that I serviced in San Jose had a Dracaena Warneckii in an out of the way office that I missed for almost three months. The office occupant eventually called it to my attention. Although it had not been watered for three months, it was still alive and growing and just needed some dried up lower leaves removed.
You can see why I have it on my list of best indoor house plants. It is really tolerant of some neglect and low light. I do recommend that you always provide the best light, watering and care for all of your indoor plants so they will look their best.
