The Dracaena species commonly known as "Florida Beauty" is a variation of the Dracaena fragrans, specifically a cultivar within this species. Dracaena fragrans, commonly called the Corn Plant or Massangeana, is a popular indoor plant known for its upright growth habit and attractive, arching leaves.

Here are some general characteristics and care tips for the Dracaena fragrans "Florida Beauty":

  1. Appearance: Dracaena fragrans 'Florida Beauty' typically has dark green leaves with yellow or lime-green stripes along the edges, giving it an appealing and decorative appearance. The leaves are arranged in a rosette formation at the top of the stems.

  2. Light: These plants prefer bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid exposing them to direct sunlight for extended periods, as it can scorch the leaves.

  3. Watering: Allow the top inch or two of the soil to dry out before watering. Dracaenas are sensitive to overwatering, so it's essential to let the soil partially dry between waterings. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged soil.

  4. Temperature: Dracaena fragrans prefers temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). They are sensitive to cold drafts and should be protected from temperatures below 50°F (10°C).

  5. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. A mix formulated for tropical plants or general-purpose potting soil works well.

  6. Fertilization: Feed the plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) every 4-6 weeks. Reduce or stop fertilizing in the fall and winter when the plant is in a period of slower growth.

  7. Pruning: Prune the plant to maintain its desired shape and remove any yellowing or damaged leaves. Dracaenas are generally easy to shape, and pruning can encourage bushier growth.
