About this plant
A branched dracaena with tufts of glossy dark green leaves on several stems, at 110 or 150 cm. It copes with lower light, which suits apartments and offices.
Dracaena Anita is a branched form of Dracaena fragrans, listed in the trade as Dracaena deremensis 'Anita'. It grows several woody stems that split into branches, each topped with a rosette of narrow, glossy dark green leaves. The result is a tree-like plant with real presence, more architectural than a single-cane dracaena.
In Dubai it is an indoor plant and one of the more forgiving ones. It handles air-conditioned rooms well, copes with medium light and tolerates the odd missed watering. Brown leaf tips are common with chlorinated tap water and dry AC air, so filtered water and some distance from vents help. Keep it out of hot direct sun through glass and do not move it outdoors in summer.
It works as a statement plant in living rooms, lobbies, meeting rooms and hotel-style corridors. We offer it at around 110 cm and 150 cm, in a nursery pot or a designer pot.

Care Guide for Dubai Homes
How to keep Dracaena Anita healthy through the Dubai year.
Light
Medium to bright, indirect light; tolerates lower light. Keep it out of harsh direct afternoon sun in summer.
Watering
Every 10–14 days indoors, when the top half of the soil is dry; less in winter. Water when the top 2 to 3 cm of soil feels dry, empty the saucer afterwards, and check the soil before you water: AC slows how fast the plant uses water.
Care notes
Soil: well-draining indoor potting mix with bark or perlite. Feeding: balanced liquid feed every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer. Common mistake: overwatering a large pot, which keeps the lower soil wet and rots the roots. Where it works: living rooms, lobbies and meeting rooms that need a tall, sculptural plant.
AC and air flow
Keep it at least 1 metre from AC vents. Cold air blowing straight onto the leaves dries the edges.
Cleaning the leaves
Dust settles quickly in Dubai homes. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth every few weeks so they keep taking in light.
Feeding and repotting
Feed once a month from March to October. Repot every 2 years into a pot one size up, or book a Plant Doctor visit and we do it for you.
Pets
Listed by the ASPCA as toxic to cats and dogs (saponins; can cause vomiting, sometimes with blood, depression, loss of appetite, drooling and dilated pupils in cats).

Dracaena Anita FAQs
Is Dracaena Anita easy to care for?
Yes. It tolerates medium light, air conditioning and occasional dry spells, which makes it a good choice for busy homes and offices.
How often should I water it in summer?
Every 10–14 days indoors, once the top half of the soil is dry. Large pots dry slowly, so check before watering.
