Dracaena 'Tornado'

Dracaena Tornado 🌪️🌿 stands out with narrow green leaves that twist and curl into a fun, sculptural shape, making it a great choice when you want something easy but not boring. It does best in bright indirect light indoors, though it can also handle medium light, which makes it a nice fit for offices, shelves, and lower-maintenance corners of the home. This is a forgiving plant that does well for beginners as long as it is not kept too wet. Pro tip: if the leaf tips start browning, check your watering routine first and make sure the soil is drying a bit between drinks 🚰.
