About This Plant
Dracaena compacta is most commonly used as a landscape plant or in terrariums. Dracaena compacta has been used as an aquarium decoration because its tough foliage can withstand submersion for short periods of time. Pineapple Plant, as it is more commonly known, should be submerged for periods of no more than a month and then grown emersed to regenerate. Dracaena compacta would be a good choice for use in a paludarium or riparium as it grows happily with wet roots.
