Dracaena falsa

Dracaena falsa is not matched by GBIF and we found no account of it, so it may be a recent transfer from Sansevieria, a trade name or a misspelling. As a succulent Dracaena, grow it like the former sansevierias of dry tropical Africa: bright light, warmth, a gritty mix and sparing water, especially in winter.
