Dracaena Lisa is a very widely used indoor floor plant. Its dark green leaves and stems are its defining characteristics. Unlike the very similar Janet Craig, Lisa has much thicker stalks that can be solid green or blended green and tan. Lisa's foliage (in comparison to JC's) is more narrow, compact, shorter in length, and stands more upright. Lisa is very easy to keep healthy, and is highly tolerant to many indoor lighting conditions, including lower light. Like most Dracaenas, it is slow growing, so it can maintain its size and shape for some time without much maintenance. It can tolerate low light (not no light) conditions much better than other interior Dracaena varieties like Mass Cane, Compacta, Marginata, Warnekii, and Rikki. Lisa can also tolerate low light much better than most other houseplants. If placed in a low light area, much care must be taken when watering. Over-watering can happen very easily in low light since a plant's productivity slows as its light decreases. Since Lisa operates on the slow side anyway, the plant can become nearly dormant in low light. Moisture soil or lava moisture should be carefully checked before watering. It can survive well in high light but has the tendency to lose its deep green color. High light conditions will increase the amount of water it will need and can also increase growth and the development of mealy bug.
