Dracaena ellenbeckiana
Kedong Dracaena is a shrub or small tree from dry tropical East Africa, grown as a houseplant or in warm dry gardens. It is drought tolerant, so the key is to let the soil dry out between waterings.
Dracaena ellenbeckiana is a species of plant belonging to the Asparagaceae family, subfamily Convallarioideae (formerly Nolinoideae). Dracaena ellenbeckiana is native to Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Sudan, and Uganda, and primarily grows in the seasonally dry tropical biome.
Dracaena ellenbeckiana is adapted to the seasonally dry tropical biome, which is characterized by alternating wet and dry seasons. This habitat has shaped the species' ability to tolerate drought, making it an excellent candidate for cultivation in subtropical climates and as a houseplant. The species is found in countries such as Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Sudan, and Uganda.
