Plant Bio
Dracaena Rikki (Dracaena deremenis “Rikki”) also know as Corn Plant, is a relatively new type of dracaena recognized by arching, deep green leaves, each marked with a yellow stripe running lengthwise down the center of the leaves. Corn plants produce leaves that look similar to corn leaves but remain green year-round. Although they are primarily grown for their foliage, they also produce yellow-white blooms when properly cared for.
Place corn plants in a location that receives bright but indirect sunlight. Direct sunlight can scorch and damage the foliage. The plant tolerates low light better than direct sun. Corn plants can't tolerate cold temperatures and grow best when the indoor temperatures remain between 15 - 20 c (60-70 F).
