Water: Allow top inch of soil to dry between waterings. Use room temperature, filtered water. Water thoroughly, ensuring it reaches the root zone. Avoid waterlogging and remove excess water from saucer/tray. Adjust watering frequency in winter or cooler months.

Fertilizer: Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer for indoor plants. Feed monthly during the growing season, but suspend during the dormant period. Dilute fertilizer to half strength and apply to the soil. Avoid overfertilization to prevent nutrient imbalances or burn. Occasionally flush the soil with water to remove excess salts or residues.

Temperature: Avoid exposing the plant to extreme temperature fluctuations or cold drafts, as it prefers stable conditions.

Light Requirements: The Yellow Star Dracaena prefers bright, indirect light. Place it near a window with filtered sunlight or provide artificial light sources, such as fluorescent or LED lights.

Sun Exposure: Protect the plant from direct, intense sunlight as it can scorch the leaves. Avoid placing it in south-facing windows without sheer curtains or blinds. By providing the Yellow Star Dracaena with a suitable temperature range and the right amount of bright, indirect light, you can help ensure its optimal growth and overall health.
