Pros

  • Honestly, I would never guess this was a rescued plant. It looks incredibly healthy. Dracaenas rarely bloom to begin with, and seeing one send up a flower spike in this kind of setting tells me you are clearly doing something right. I im...
  • I found this Dracaena by the dumpster a little while back and so, naturally, immediately adopted and inherited it as my own. Well, after having it for some time it grew this thingy and bloomed! This really caught me by surprise and just...
  • Aw it’s so happy! I’ve only had a dracaena flower once but it was such an amazing surprise.
  • I’ve had this Dracaena for about 4 years... the plant itself still looks healthy.
  • The fragrance from the blooms fill my house! The scent is similar to hyacinth.

Cons

  • I had one one that smelled strongly like piss. Was searching the house for dog puddle for a until I figured it out.
  • Parent context: Ugh i can smell it and i hate it. My parents have one and it smells terrible to me Reply: I understand, I personally don’t mind the smell but I can see how it’s not for everyone.
  • Parent context: how does it smell ? Reply: The smell was feint until evening, if I kept the door closed it would then take up the room. I personally didn’t mind the smell; I found the aromatic scent to have hints of sweetness however wit...
  • Parent context: Sorry to disapppint but this is not corn. Its dracaena 😅. Reply: Honestly, I hated the smell. It was sickening.

Honestly, I would never guess this was a rescued plant. It looks incredibly healthy. Dracaenas rarely bloom to begin with, and seeing one send up a flower spike in this kind of setting tells me you are clearly doing something right. I immediately noticed how strong the leaves and overall structure look.

Parent context: how does it smell ? Reply: The smell was feint until evening, if I kept the door closed it would then take up the room. I personally didn’t mind the smell; I found the aromatic scent to have hints of sweetness however with a strong presence of nuttiness.

I found this Dracaena by the dumpster a little while back and so, naturally, immediately adopted and inherited it as my own. Well, after having it for some time it grew this thingy and bloomed! This really caught me by surprise and just wanted to share. It’s one of my very first plants and I really love it.
