Description

The Dracaena Anita brings gentle elegance into your home with her graceful arching leaves beautifully edged in creamy yellow bands. Each leaf looks like it's been delicately painted by nature herself, creating a soft glow wherever you place her.

Native to Madagascar and the Indian Ocean islands, this lovely Dracaena Anita plant grows into a bushy, tree-like beauty that usually settles around 3 feet indoors… but ours are 6-7 feet. Anita is among the most beloved Dracaena varieties for good reason. Her forgiving nature makes her perfect for plant parents who want stunning beauty without constant worry. We love how she transforms any corner into a peaceful oasis, bringing that touch of tropical serenity we all need in our busy lives.



Care 

How do you care for a Dracaena Anita plant? 

Your Dracaena Anita thrives with bright indirect light, weekly watering when the topsoil feels dry, gentle monthly feeding during growing season, and steady comfortable temperatures between 60-85°F (16-29°C) to keep her looking beautiful, healthy, and absolutely happy.

This tropical beauty appreciates consistency in her care routine, but she's wonderfully forgiving when life gets busy. Keep her in well-draining soil, provide moderate humidity with occasional misting, and gently remove any yellowing leaves to maintain her gorgeous appearance. Think of Dracaena Anita care as a gentle rhythm rather than rigid rules.


How often do you water a Dracaena Anita plant? 

Water your Dracaena Anita every 1-2 weeks during the growing season, allowing the top inch of soil to dry completely between waterings. This careful approach prevents root problems, keeping her roots healthy and happy throughout the year.

During winter months, reduce watering to every 2-3 weeks since she naturally slows her growth. Always check the soil moisture first—this gentle soul prefers being slightly thirsty to having waterlogged roots.


Where do you put a Dracaena Anita plant in your house?

Your Dracaena Anita will be happiest near east or west-facing windows where she can get that bright indirect light without harsh direct sun that could fade her beautiful cream-colored leaf edges and potentially damage her absolutely delicate foliage.

She also adapts beautifully to artificial lighting, making her perfect for offices or rooms with limited natural light. Just keep her away from cold drafts and heating vents—she prefers the same comfortable temperatures that make you feel at home.


Is Dracaena Anita high maintenance? 

The Dracaena Anita is wonderfully low-maintenance and forgiving, making her perfect for beginners and busy plant parents who want natural beauty without stress. You’ll get the perfect mix —beautiful, calming, and completely understanding when life gets hectic.


Does Dracaena Anita need full sun?

Your Dracaena Anita prefers bright indirect light rather than full sun exposure. Too much direct sunlight can fade those gorgeous cream margins and potentially scorch her delicate foliage. Gentle light protection keeps her looking absolutely beautiful.


What fertilizer does Dracaena Anita need?

Feed your Dracaena Anita with balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength once monthly during spring and summer growing seasons. Skip fertilizing during fall and winter when growth naturally slows and takes a peaceful little rest during cooler months.


Can Dracaena Anita tolerate heat? 

Your Dracaena Anita handles moderate heat quite well indoors. She's most comfortable in temperatures between 60-85°F (16-29°C), but should be protected from extreme heat, hot drafts, and sudden temperature changes for her optimal health, happiness, and growth.


Pet-friendly?

The Dracaena Anita isn't pet-friendly due to natural compounds called saponins that can cause digestive upset in our furry family members. We recommend keeping this beauty safely out of reach of curious paws and noses.


Is Dracaena Anita poisonous to cats?

The Dracaena Anita can be harmful to cats, potentially causing vomiting, excessive drooling, loss of appetite, depression, and dilated pupils if eaten. If you suspect your feline friend has nibbled her leaves, contact your vet right away.


Is Dracaena Anita toxic to dogs?

The Dracaena Anita can be toxic to dogs, with symptoms including vomiting, diarrhea, excessive drooling, weakness, and loss of appetite. Keep your pup's curious nose away from her beautiful foliage for everyone's safety and peace of mind.

 

Factoids

Does a Dracaena plant purify air?

Dracaena plants are recognized by NASA as natural air purifiers, helping remove formaldehyde, benzene, trichloroethylene, and carbon dioxide from your home's air. Dracaena Anita benefits include both beauty to look at and healthier indoor air quality for your family.


How long does a Dracaena Anita last?

With proper Dracaena Anita indoor care and loving attention, your plant companion can thrive for 5-10 years or even longer. You'll enjoy years of beautiful foliage and air-purifying benefits, making her a wonderful long-term addition to your plant family.


Do Dracaena Anita plants like coffee grounds?

Your Dracaena Anita prefers coffee grounds mixed into compost rather than applied directly to her soil. Too many coffee grounds can affect soil drainage and pH levels, which might interfere with her root health and overall happiness.

A must read for therapists and everyone else
Format: Paperback
As a psychologist who works primarily with individuals in marginalized communities, I see a lot of clients who have experienced historical, intergenerational, developmental and ongoing current trauma, often as a result of systems of oppression (racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, etc.). I was very excited to dive into training in somatic experiencing (SE), a "bottom up" approach to trauma treatment that recognizes the ways that traumatic experiences get stored in the body, and therefore need to be healed through the body. However, I was disappointed to find that most of the books on SE, as well as the trainings themselves, rarely if ever mention racism or other systems of oppression and the trauma they cause. This was such a disappointment to me, especially given that racial trauma is so prevalent in the everyday lives of my clients and perpetuated daily by the current political climate. Therefore I was thrilled to discover this book. Resmaa Menakem filled in the gap I was feeling in the SE literature, applying somatic experiencing to racial trauma and the ways that racism impacts the bodies of white people, black people (and all people of color), and those who are charged with "serving and protecting" us, the police. This book was a huge eye opener for me. Not only did it give me compassion for my own white body and the ways that trauma has been metabolized and passed on from white folks to POC through the mechanisms of white supremacy, but it gave me new and more embodied ways to understand the lives of people of color and work effectively with my POC clients. It also gave me new compassion for cops, who, through their own trauma responses and the effects of white supremacy, are now more like soldiers whose mission is to control and suppress black and brown bodies. Although I will continue to feel outrage and grief at every unnecessary police killing of an innocent man or woman of color, this book helped me to remember that we are all impacted by centuries of white supremacy conditioning and that cops need and deserve healing around racial trauma too. I highly recommend this book to therapists and healers, especially those who work with individuals in marginalized communities. Each chapter provides exercises to embody the learning in the chapter, so that healing is happening not just from the top down, but from the bottom up. There are exercises for individuals and groups, for white bodies, POC bodies and police bodies. The book is extremely timely and relevant and should be required reading for anyone wanting to understand more about the history and current conditions of racism in America, its impacts, and how to heal.

Think of racism as a moral failing isn’t helpful. Instead, think of it as a trauma response.
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
If we are willing to stop and listen to the voices of these people, both in the streets and in their writings (for generations now), we will hear them tell us their experience. And their experience is horrific. Some of us will turn away, finding solace in justifications (“He should have complied!”) or distancing (“My family was poor too. None of my family owned slaves.”) But if we care about a sustainable future for our country, if we have the smallest shred of a sense of responsibility for our neighbor, or if (like me) we claim to follow Jesus, the one who taught us to love our neighbor as ourselves, and to put other people’s lives before our own, then we must listen. In My Grandmother’s Hands, Resmaa Menakem comes to this conversation from a different and very helpful angle. He suggests that three groups are clashing in our country today: black-bodied people, white-bodied people and police. He suggests that the animus, reactivity, and often explosive violence between these groups is in fact the result of unprocessed trauma. He digs deep into the story of each of these groups to demonstrate the primary and secondary trauma each group carries. Then he talks about the process of trauma retention and how, if we fail to understand and process our trauma, we inevitably become less flexible, more reactive, and more violent. He suggests that the solution to our problem is not solely in education, awareness or even new policies, but in becoming more aware of our bodies, learning how to handle and process trauma, and becoming more resilient in our interactions with other traumatized people. This is the first book about racial injustice that I’ve read where I finished feeling like I could actually make a difference. I’m not a policy maker. I’m not able to be a regular front-line activist. I don’t have piles of money to spend at Black-owned businesses. It’s easy to feel like my small contribution can’t possibly make a real difference. But Menakem suggests a path that any one of us can walk--coming to terms with our own experience of racialized trauma -- and this will open up the path for other ways we can be a part of creating a more just, compassionate, and equal society.

Enlightening, transformative, maybe even life-changing
Format: Paperback
I would have to say that this is an interactive book. As I was reading this with a group, reading one or two chapters at a time, it was possible to do all the exercises. I did not do them all, but must say it was an eye-opening experience. The basis premise of the book is that we carry trauma in our bodies, and that we respond to issues of race, first and foremost, in our bodies, as a visceral response. And, as so many of our experiences originate early in life, these responses are often immediate and unconscious, and thus, this book requires a great deal of interior work. It's worth every moment of it. I remember clearly, that before I had finished the introduction, I felt rage- actual rage. And for a person who considers herself balanced and rather low-key this was quite astounding. And this rage continued to surface. Let me just say that this book makes you explore unexamined parts of yourself, if you will let it. Expect to feel uncomfortable, and if you push through it, you may be different when you get to the other side...

Don't Forget Grandmother's Feet!
Format: Kindle
A very idealistic approach in dealing with the racial trauma that is very much alive in America. I like the way the author built the narrative based on his grandmother’s unspoken experiences in her life which was exemplified by the condition of her hands (and feet). The author made references to the trauma being in our bodies, which was different. The only issue I had with this book is where the author tried to equate the trauma that White folks experienced in Europe before coming to America with the plight of Black folk that is ongoing. How did White folks overcome their trauma? Prosperity! I believe that there is a correlation between our trauma as Black folk and reparations and why this country is so adamant about not giving us reparations…because it will help to offset our trauma, and they don’t want us healed. However, if they are inclined towards healing, then this book makes some practical suggestions (and exercises) to do so; for Whites, Blacks, and even the PO-lice.

Everyone in the US should read this book, no matter who they are
Format: Paperback
This book is a must read for those of us living in communities struggling with racism. Resmaa Menakem has created a masterpiece of storytelling, restorative justice, awareness raising, and healing. The writing is just excellent, and the clarity with which Menakem lays out the evidence for racism and what to do about is brilliant, and the impact is disturbing, as it should be. The chapter on race and police brutality is a strong example of that, of how black bodies create fear in white bodies. He writes about how people of color sacrifice parts of themselves every day to stay safe, and sometimes they don't succeed. He writes about how this fear of the other is in the body, and it takes a body-centered approach to heal it. We must self confront and stop talking about it; we must feel it, and practice healing approaches. Each chapter has exercises for us to practice to heal ourselves, black and white. He recommends self confrontation as a form of "clean pain," versus the "dirty pain" of avoidance, denial and blame. The examples in the book are so true and riveting. I highly recommend this book, and the practices within. A page turner. I could not put it down.
