Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant is a compact form of Dracaena, reaching a height of 60–90 cm in indoor conditions, and capable of growing up to 1.5–2 meters under favorable conditions. The lanceolate elliptical leaves, about 25 cm long, have a characteristic curve and a slightly twisted edge, which gives them a "curly" appearance.

The variety is variegated: the central part of the leaf is gray-green, separated by a white line from a wide yellow-green border. The plant is characterized by slow growth and is relatively undemanding regarding light levels, although the variegation decreases in low light. Propagated by cuttings.
