It needs to grow with protection from salt wind or it will burn. Salt damage can be minimized if you rinse the foliage frequently during gusty ocean winds (we tend to get those allot here on the southeast Florida coast). Cold damage has never really been a problem for us. So we aren't real familiar with the precautions needed in this regard.

Hi

I live on a remote north island off Orkney Islands UK. I have had this plant for some years among other foliage plant...Read Mores. It lives in the unheated South facing porch of my house. On the first of February this flower spike appeared. I have kept many plants and have never seen this kind of plant in flower especially 'foliage' plants and most certainly not in our climate. It is very like the Dracaena " Warneckei" however it is yellow stripes not silver! Our position is hyperoceanic therefore I would not chance this plant in the garden, however I do have a Cornish Palm growing very happily there and they abound in other gardens in Orkney. Is it likely to die now it is flowering?
