Dracaena tembo

There are no usable wild records for this name, and it may be a trade or cultivar name rather than a recognised species. If it is one of the succulent, sansevieria-type Dracaena, treat it like the East African dry-bush species: bright light, warmth and a mix that dries out between waterings.
