PLANT'S INFO

Scientific Name : Dracaena fragrans

Common Name : Iron Plant, Corn Plant

Dracaena fragrans is a slow growing shrub. Leaves are arranged in a spirally, forming a rosette atop a woody stem or cane, which bears the leaf scars of shed foliage, similar to a palm. They have smooth, glossy, deep green or yellow and green striped leaves. The smaller, younger leaves are erect and spreading, while the older leaves (at the bottom of the rosette) tend to droop under their own weight and it will come either attached and sprouting from a brown textured stem. If you treat the plant very well, after many years you should get a bold ascent specimen with multiple crowns and the opportunity for it to produce a small spray of fragrant white flowers. The best indoor, less maintenance plant and ideal for home and offices.

WHAT IS HYDROCULTURE SYSTEM? WHY DO WE NEED TO USE HYDROCULTURE PLANT?

There are many reasons to choose ISLAND HYDROCULTURE SYSTEM:

► Less Watering 

► Incorporated water level control

► No soil, therefore clean and odourless

► No parasites

► Decorative pots

► Most favorable growing conditions

► Minimum expenditure

The success of Island Hydrocuture is based on the following points:

1) Leca - lightweight expanded clay aggregate is clean, hygienic and easy to handle. It is being used instead of soil.

2) Island Complete Nurtrient dissolved in water gives your plants all the nutreints and strength for healty and luxuriant growth. Thanks to the large water reserve in the containers the plants need less frequent watering.

3) The water-level indicator shows exactly when and how much to water. It prevents plants from drying out as well as from damage by over watering.

PLANT CARE INSTRUCTIONS

LIGHT : Place the plant under shelter with as much light as possible without exposure to direct sunlight. 

WATERING : Pour water over the expanded clay aggregates until the red needle in the water-leve indicator reaches the optimum mark (1/2). Only add water when the red needle in the indicator reaches the minimum mark (min). NEVER BEFORE. REMARK : Care must be taken not to overwater Dracaena fragrans as they become very susceptible to root rot if the media is constantly damp. 

FERTILIZER : Dissolve 1 capful of Island Liquid Nutrient to 1 liter of water and pour the diluted nutrient over the expanded clay aggregates. Apply every alternate watering of your hydrocuture plants.
