About Dracaena Janet Craig
Dracaena Janet Craig is one of the best low-light houseplants with glossy dark green strap leaves. Like all dracaenas, it contains steroidal saponins. It's particularly common in offices and malls where pets shouldn't typically be, but home specimens should be kept away from pets.
