• About Dracaena fragrans

  Rick is a staple statement plant perfect for any workspace. His skinner frame means he’s a great option for narrower spaces – slot him between bookshelves or into awkward nooks to add instant life and greenery to a room.

  Best of all, he’s really easy to take care of. In fact, he’s one of our (almost) unkillables because he’s so low maintenance. He’ll tolerate almost any light condition (except total darkness or harsh, direct sun) and is drought tolerant, so you can let his soil dry out between drinks. He’s a big fan of humidity, so consider adding a layer of LECA balls to his soil, or grouping him with other plants to create a mini microclimate.

  This bundle includes a Straight edged pot in Black. Made by Elho from 100% recycled plastic, this lightweight design has a simple, minimalist look that will pair well with any interior.
