Janet Craig Column: Dracaena fragrans ‘Compacta’ – 10 inch pot – 3.5-4 foot tall

One of the more unique members of its family, the Dracaena ‘Janet Craig’ Compacta (or JC) is a slow-growing, low-maintenance houseplant. It features dark green, glossy leaves that grow in a dense, “stacked” rosette pattern on sturdy, cane-like stems. While it shares the elegant, slim profile of other Dracaenas, its tufty foliage is much tighter and more compact, making it an excellent choice for smaller spaces or minimalist dcor.
