Dracaena Tornado grows in a spiral: glossy green, yellow-edged leaves stack in a twisting rosette, so the whole plant seems to be turning as it grows. It is compact and slow growing, holding its sculptural shape on a desk, counter, or shelf for years without outgrowing the spot.

Care is standard dracaena, which is to say easy. Bright, indirect light keeps the yellow edges bright, while direct sun scorches. Water when the top inch or two of soil dries, and never leave it sitting in a saucer of water. Average room temperature and humidity are all it needs.
