My dracena lemon lime that I acquired as a young plant last June is still the same size now and I donât understand why itâs not growing, it looks perfectly healthy just no bigger than when I first got it, itâs on a windowsill out of direct sun, watered exactly as directed
The lemon lime is from the tropical forests in Africa. Theyâre extremely slow growers indoors đ€Ł about 6-8 inches in growth a year imo.

0 gillningar Do you fertilize? If not, I would throw in some well balanced 2-1-3 if you can.

The soil looks very peat-heavy, which isnât really the greatest for dracaenas âcause it retains a lot of moisture. They prefer to dry out a bit. Iâd repot it in a light and airy soil mix. Mine are in a mix thatâs about 60% potting soil, 30% perlite, and 10% orchid bark.
0 gillningarI will try that thanks

1 gillaI would fertilize every time you water. Put it in the brightest spot in your house. If you can put it out this summer you might get growth.
