Dracaena Warneckii ‘Lemon Lime’ / Gold Star (8")

Dracaena Warneckii ‘Lemon Lime’ / Gold Star | 8” Bush | 2PPP (Two Plants per Pot)
A Lively Pop of Southern Sunshine with Easy Grace and Lasting Charm

At Wrights Market, we believe a plant should do more than brighten a room—it should brighten your spirit. That’s exactly what the Dracaena Warneckii ‘Lemon Lime’, sometimes called Gold Star, brings to the table. With long, arching leaves striped in cheerful greens, buttery yellows, and soft ivory, it’s like sunshine captured in foliage—vibrant, fresh, and full of Southern charm.

Originally native to the tropical regions of Africa, the Dracaena Warneckii has earned a reputation as one of the most resilient, air-purifying, and forgiving houseplants you can grow. Over the years, it’s found a special place in homes across the South, loved for its structured beauty and low-maintenance care—perfect for busy families, new plant parents, or anyone who just wants a little natural joy in their space.

Though it rarely blooms indoors, mature plants may occasionally surprise you with small, fragrant white flowers on tall stalks. More often, it's the striking variegated foliage that steals the show, symbolizing renewal, balance, and clarity—values close to our hearts here in the cottage.

Care Instructions:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but will tolerate lower-light conditions

• Water: Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry before watering; avoid overwatering

• Humidity: Average indoor humidity is fine, but it’ll enjoy an occasional mist

• Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix; standard indoor plant soil works beautifully

• Growth Habit: Upright and bushy with long, elegant leaves—can grow several feet tall over time

• Toxicity: Mildly toxic if ingested; best to keep out of reach of pets and children

Perfect Companion Plants:

• Snake Plant (Sansevieria Laurentii) – another architectural beauty that thrives with similar care

• ZZ Plant – low-maintenance and glossy, with rich dark green foliage to contrast the Lemon Lime’s brightness

• Aglaonema ‘Sparkling Sarah’ – softens the display with patterned leaves and pink tones

• Peace Lily – adds a floral touch and thrives in similar light and humidity

Whether it’s standing proud in an entryway, cozying up a sunroom corner, or adding color to your kitchen window, the Dracaena ‘Lemon Lime’ is a radiant reminder that beauty doesn’t have to be complicated. From our family here at Wrights Market to yours, may it bring light, life, and a gentle splash of joy to your everyday living.
