Dracaena Hawaiian Sunshine
A resilient cane-type Dracaena with deep green leaves and a vibrant chartreuse midrib—designed by nature for bright, modern interiors.
Description
Dracaena Hawaiian Sunshine (botanically sold as Dracaena fragrans ‘Hawaiian Sunshine’) is a refined, upright cane dracaena prized for its glossy, strappy leaves that feature a luminous lime-green central stripe against deep forest-green margins. This adaptable houseplant brings vertical architecture and a calm, tropical feel to living rooms, lobbies, and workspaces. It tolerates lower light better than many foliage plants, helps freshen indoor air, and asks for very little beyond occasional watering and leaf dusting.
Suggested Uses
- Statement floor plant for living rooms and offices
- Low- to medium-light corners and corridors
- Modern containers for contemporary interiors
- Privacy groupings and vertical accents
- Easy-care plant for reception areas and lobbies
- Pairs well in mixed tropical displays

Care Tips
-
Planting InstructionsChoose a pot 2–4 inches wider than the root ball with drainage. Plant canes at the same depth as in the nursery pot. Firm gently and water to settle. Rotate the plant every 1–2 weeks for even growth.
-
Soil MoistureWater when the top 1–2 inches of mix are dry. Keep evenly moist but never soggy; empty saucers after watering. Reduce frequency in winter.
-
Soil TypeWell-draining, airy potting mix: peat/coco coir base with perlite and/or bark. Slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0).
-
HumidityAverage home humidity is fine (40–60%). Improve with a pebble tray or humidifier in very dry rooms. Wipe leaves to remove dust and improve shine.
-
Pruning InstructionsRemove yellow or brown leaves at their base. Trim brown tips if needed. To control height, cut canes back in spring; new shoots will emerge below the cut.
-
Winter CareProtect from cold drafts; keep above 50°F (10°C). Provide as much bright, indirect light as possible and reduce watering and feeding.
-
Planting DepthSet the top of the root ball level with or just below the pot rim (about 0.5–1 in) to allow a watering lip; do not bury the cane higher than originally planted.
-
FertilizationFeed monthly in spring–summer with a balanced, half-strength liquid fertilizer for foliage plants. Little to no feeding in fall–winter. Dracaena can be sensitive to fluoride; use distilled or rainwater if tip burn appears.
-
Special CareFlush the pot every 2–3 months to prevent salt buildup. Watch for mealybugs, scale, and spider mites; treat early with insecticidal soap or neem. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot; provide support stakes for very tall canes if needed.
Note: The cultivar name is commonly listed as Dracaena fragrans ‘Hawaiian Sunshine’; flowering indoors is uncommon but possible on older, well-grown plants.
