Its dense rosettes of foliage grow from sturdy stems, creating a lush, structured look that works beautifully in homes, offices, and shaded corners where many other plants would struggle. Slow-growing and adaptable, this variety is particularly valued for its ability to tolerate lower light conditions while still maintaining rich foliage colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eScientific Name\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eDracaena fragrans\u003c\/i\u003e ‘Janet Craig’ (fragrant dracaena, corn plant)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe genus \u003ci\u003eDracaena\u003c\/i\u003e was historically placed within the Liliaceae family but is now classified in the \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eAsparagaceae\u003c\/span\u003e family following modern genetic research.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSynonyms\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eDracaena deremensis\u003c\/i\u003e ‘Janet Craig’\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCommon Name\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eJanet Craig Dracaena, Corn Plant, Janet Craig Plant\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eDerived from \u003ci\u003eDracaena fragrans\u003c\/i\u003e, native to tropical regions of \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eWest and Central Africa\u003c\/span\u003e, including Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast, Cameroon, and Angola.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLight\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ePrefers \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ebright, indirect light\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e, but is very tolerant of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003elower light conditions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e.
