Description: Dracaena fragrans 'Golden Heart' is a bold and vibrant cultivar of the popular Dracaena fragrans, celebrated for its broad, arching leaves with striking golden-yellow central stripes contrasted by rich green margins. This tropical foliage plant brings structure, colour, and a sense of calm to indoor spaces, with its rosette-forming habit and slow, upright growth. Ideal for homes and offices in Melbourne, 'Golden Heart' thrives in bright, indirect light but can also tolerate lower light conditions, making it incredibly versatile and low-maintenance. It prefers a free-draining potting mix and moderate watering—allowing the topsoil to dry between waterings. The architectural form and vivid variegation make it a standout indoor specimen, perfect for floor pots or decorative planters. With minimal pruning required, it's an easy-care choice for adding long-lasting greenery and warm tones to interiors.
