Description

The Dracaena Compacta Plant, a compact, slow growing member of the Dracaena family,  is native to South East Africa. It is often referred to as Dracaena fragrans or Dracaena deremensis. The closest relative of the Compacta is the Dracaena janet craig, but the Compacta Plant is quite different in appearance. The Dracaena Compacta has a thick green stem and several clumps of short dark green leaves 2″-4″ in length. It’s a beautiful addition to homes or offices, but it’s the most difficult and most expensive dracaena to care for. Dracaena compacta plants are considered by some to be slightly poisonous, especially to dogs and cats.
