Dracaena ‘Janet Craig’: Plant Care and Growing Guide (Including ‘Janet Craig’ Compacta)

 

Dracaena ‘Janet Craig’ (Dracaena deremensis ‘Janet Craig’ or Dracaena fragrans ‘Janet Craig’) is a popular tall houseplant that thrives in low light. ‘Janet Craig’ plants have long glossy green, lanceolate-shaped leaves that grow on straight woody stems. Their bushy foliage and tolerance of shade or bright light make Dracaena ‘Janet Craig’ ideal plants to grow indoors.

 

‘Janet Craig’ plants are a cultivar from the tropical slow-growing shrub Dracaena deremensis, also called Dracaena fragrans. In their native habitat of Africa, Dracaena deremensis grows up to 15 ft. (4.5 m) tall. Indoors, the ‘Janet Craig’ plants grow to about 3 ft. (1 m) tall.

The upright, woody stems have a mass of glossy dark-green leaves. ‘Janet Craig’ leaves are about 2 ft. (60 cm) long and 2” (5 cm) broad. The mass of large pointed leaves gives the indoor tree-like plant a full, bushy appearance.

 

The Dracaena deremensis ‘Janet Craig’ Compacta is a miniature version of the larger plant. The ‘Janet Craig’ Compacta has pointed lance-shaped leaves up to 5” (12 cm) long that grow from the stem at soil level. A fully-grown ‘Compacta’ dracaena plant can grow to about 6 ft. (1.8) tall outdoors. However, it takes many years for this slow-growing plant to reach that height indoors.

 

Due to its short growth and bushy foliage, Dracaena deremensis ‘Janet Craig’ Compacta is also called ‘Pineapple Dracaena,’ ‘Compacta Janet Craig,’ Dwarf Compacta,’ and ‘Dracaena Compacta.’
