“Limelight” has bright yellow/green leaves which change to a lime green when matured.

Light

Low to bright indirect light. To keep the lime colouring, err on the side of lower light. If the leaves start to become bleached, move to a spot with less light. 


Water

When the top 2-3 inches of the soil is dry to the touch, water thoroughly. Dracaena Limelight is very sensitive to root rot, so watch for browning tips of the leaves which indicate overwatering.
