I bought this as a "foilage" plant. Identified it as a Dracaena Gold Dust. It is pretty and I would like to hear your takes on this one...

Yikes, I think I posted the pic upside down....

Very pretty, don't know anything about it though.

Super easy! Just give it water now and again, and medium to high light. Don't overwater it. I pretty much ignore mine, sometimes to the point of completely drying out and losing a few leaves. I water it and it bounces back just fine. I don't suggest letting it dry out to the point of yellowed and dropped leaves, like I tend to do, but do let it go dry between waterings. Mine is planted in MG Potting Soil with just enough perlite added to keep it from compacting when dry. You shouldn't have any problems. Enjoy your new plant! It's a beauty!

Great advice from RainGazer!
I found this plant very easy, too.....it can take a lot of abuse and neglect.

I am curious, has anyones' plant ever bloomed? This one appears to have a bloom stalk starting. I was going to wait and see before I posted a photo...
