- Fill a 6-to-8 inch growing container equipped with drainage holes with Hawaiian lava rock growing medium. Alternately, make your own growing medium by blending equal parts peat moss, loam and perlite. Plant your Lemon Lime Dracaena at the same depth of its original growing container.
- Position the Lemon Lime Dracaena plant 4 to 8 feet away from a window that will provide it with at least four hours of bright, indirect sunlight each day.
- Water the plant with a watering can directed to the stem when the top inch of soil in the growing container is dry to the touch.
- Mist the leaves of your Lemon Lime Dracaena plant with water from a spray bottle at least every other day to maintain a healthy level of humidity around the plant.
- Fertilize your Lemon Lime Dracaena plant once a month with a balanced fertilizer like Blooms Plus, Miracle Grow or Grow More. Apply the fertilizer to your Lemon Lime Dracaena plant according to package directions. Allow your plant to rest over the winter and resume monthly fertilization in the spring.
