Dracaena Hawaiian Sunshine Care Guide & Presentation

Dracaena Hawaiian Sunshine Dragon Tree

Dracaena Hawaiian Sunshine: Overview

Dracaena Hawaiian Sunshine (Dracaena warneckii ‘Hawaiian Sunshine’) is a variegated Dracaena variety with long, spiky emerald green leaves and a central lime-colored stripe. Dracaena Hawaiian Sunshine is a Dragon Tree native to the tropical regions of Africa, like Mozambique, Madagascar, and Mauritius. It belongs to the Asparagaceae family, like other Dracaena plants

The Hawaiian Dracaena is a tropical plant that thrives in warmer temperatures. Grow it indoors in a warm room or outdoors as an exotic patio plant in hardiness zones 10-12. Dracaena Hawaiian Sunshine sprouts its leaves on a cane trunk, which is why it is often called the Corn Plant. When fully mature, the gorgeous Hawaiian Sunshine tree can reach up to 5-6 ft. in height. However, a slow grower will take some time to become a large indoor plant.

With the right growing conditions, the Hawaiian Dracaena warneckii is easy to care for, even for beginners. It’s best for plant lovers without pets because it can be toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. 

Dracaenas are known as good luck plants, and this is also true of the colorful Hawaiian Sunshine plant that symbolizes good fortune and prosperity.

Dracaena varieties come in different shapes and patterns, ranging from the broad-leaved, compact Janet Craig Dragon Plant to the brightly striped Dracaena Lemon Lime.

Dracaena: Benefits

  • One of the best air-purifying plants that absorbs formaldehyde and other toxins from the air
  • Associated with good luck and prosperity, according to Feng Shui
  • It’s a low-maintenance plant that can adapt to low-light conditions
  • Beautiful highlight plant with exotic striped leaves

Dracaena Hawaiian Sunshine Plant: Care Guide

The Dracaena Hawaiian Sunshine plant care is easy since this plant doesn’t require frequent watering and can adapt to various growing conditions. We’ve gathered some top Hawaiian Dracaena care tips to keep your plant flourishing:

Watering and Humidity

Let the soil dry between waterings. Dracaenas can be sensitive to water containing chlorine or fluoride, so use filtered or ‘overnight’ water, free of chemicals. Your Dracaena warneckii will appreciate occasional misting to increase the humidity in the air around it.

Light and Temperature

Bright, filtered light is best for your dracaena, as direct sunlight can burn its leaves. Dracaenas thrive in temperatures between 65 and 90℉. Place it where there’s no risk of cold drafts or sudden temperature fluctuations.

Soil, Feeding, and Repotting

Use well-draining soil mixed with perlite to enhance drainage and root aeration for your Dracaena Fragrans Hawaiian Sunshine. It doesn’t require frequent feeding and can be sensitive to overfertilizing. Once a month, use a liquid fertilizer diluted at half strength. Repot your Dracaena Sunshine once every 3-5 years or when you see the roots growing out of the drainage holes.

Propagation

You can propagate your Hawaiian Sunshine Dracaena by taking 4—or 6-inch cuttings from the plant and planting them in well-draining, moist soil. Palace the young plants in a spot that receives indirect light, keeping the soil moist.

Pruning, Cleaning, and Common Issues

Prune any dead leaves and trim browning leaf tips (optional). Make a small cut with a clean, sharp knife on the long, bare stem to encourage your plant to grow more leaves. Leaves will sprout around the cut area.

Discolored or brown tips often indicate salts accumulated in the soil from overfertilizing. Flush the soil to remove them. Soft, yellowing leaves indicate overwatering.

    House-warming gift

    We recently sent our good friends who moved to Texas a Hawaiian Sunshine tree for their house-warming gift. They were so thrilled at how nicely packaged the plant arrived. They both loved how healthy and beautiful the plant was and sent me a picture. Thank you Living Root for delivering such joy to my friends!

    Hawaiian Sunshine Dragon Tree

    It is a beauty. I was kind of disappointed about the size. I then realized that I had ordered a Large. I have many plants and I decided to only purchase Extra Large up to the 5 gallon. I am loving those size plants and thru all nof my researching that Lively Root has more of a selection at the BEST p-rices. They do offer you a free "Points" program which adds up very quickly.
