Dracaena angolensis 'Star Canary' is a compact cylindrical cultivar that grows in a low star-like rosette, with thick leaves marked by bright yellow to lime variegation along the margins. The vivid colour sits against a cooler green core, making the plant feel more graphic than the plain species while keeping the same habit.
It is still a succulent from an arid lineage, so the essential care remains simple: bright indirect light is preferred, gritty fast-draining soil is essential, and watering should be infrequent, only after the mix has dried completely. It tolerates dry indoor air and grows best between about 18–32 °C, with cold and excess moisture posing the main risks. Offsets can be divided for propagation, and faded colour or mushy leaves usually point to light or watering problems.
