Janet Craig is a variety of dracaena foliage houseplant and is sometimes called corn plant due to it\'s upright and narrow growth form. This plant likes indirect but bright light - no afternoon sun but soft morning sunshine is okay. Do not overwater. Allow the soil in the pot to dry out enough so that the top half of the soil is dry but the bottom half of the pot has moist soil. In large pots you may need to use a water meter or probe a pencil into the soil to check for water. Use a slow release plant food like Osmocote once a year in the spring. Wash the leaves with a damp clot occasionally to keep this houseplant free of insects and dust. That\'s it - you will find Janet to be a very easy going indoor plant. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
