Janet Craig Dracaena - Dracaena deremensis ‘Janet Craig’
‘Janet Craig’ is the solid, deep green form of Dracaena deremensis, a plant botanists now place within Dracaena fragrans, and it is among the most shade tolerant foliage plants grown in Australia. Broad, glossy, arching leaves are carried in dense tiers along upright canes, building a full column of dark green that never looks sparse. It holds condition in dim interiors and in the deep shade beside a house where most plants thin out, which is why it is a long standing choice for offices, foyers and shaded courtyards.
Why the Janet Craig Dracaena
Low light performance: Keeps dense, dark foliage well back from a window or under heavy canopy, where variegated plants fade and stretch.
Uniform deep green: The plain glossy leaf suits restrained, contemporary schemes and sits easily against timber, stone and dark render.
Tolerates dry intervals: It copes with the soil drying between waterings far better than with wet roots, which suits busy households and workplaces.
Slow, contained growth: It adds only a little height each year, so its shape in a room stays settled without regular trimming.
Easy to keep presentable: The smooth, wide leaves wipe clean in seconds, so it looks fresh in a foyer with almost no attention.
Ideal Applications
Office and foyer planters: Stays full and green for years under fluorescent and LED lighting in reception areas and corridors.
Shaded courtyards: In frost free gardens it grows in the ground against south facing walls and in the shadow of the house, and accepts an east wall where it gets only soft early morning sun.
Beneath tree ferns: Planted between tree ferns and large leaved aroids, it adds a solid green tier at waist to head height in deep shade.
Living room feature: In a large pot it brings height and fullness to a dim corner, hallway or stair landing.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (feature/avenue): 0.8 to 1.2m in garden beds, or a single container specimen
Best Planting Season: Spring and summer outdoors in frost free districts; any time of year indoors
Soil & Drainage: Free draining, organic rich soil or a quality potting mix; constant wet around the canes causes root and stem rot
Establishment Care: Water once the top few centimetres of soil or mix have dried, then water thoroughly, and give very little through winter. Switch to rainwater if leaf tips brown, as the plant is sensitive to fluoride in tap water. Chewed leaves poison dogs and cats, so stand the pot or plant it where pets cannot reach it.
