Any regular houseplant potting mix that matches this criteria should just do fine.
LIGHT
Bright, indirect sunlight is the best for your Dragon’s Tongue.
Especially when direct sunlight is in the mornings. This is the case with and east-facing window. Read our article about the different window directions and their impact on the best light levels for your plants.
WATERING
Water your Waffle plant (yet another fancy name for the Dragon’s Tongue!) whenever the soil is turning from being slightly moist to dry.
It is, however, impossible to tell you exactly how many times your plant needs to be given water.
The reason for this is simply that the watering routine depends on too many factors, such as your location and where you actually keep your plant, the choice of soil, the temperature & many more.
Therefore, the best way to check if your Dragon’s Tongue is indeed in need of a drink, is to use your index finger.
TEMPERATURE
The best temperature range for your Dragon’s Tongue is 60°F to 75°F (16°C -24°C).
Therefore, your Waffle plant feels comfortable in average room temperatures.
In winter, (when grown outdoors!), make sure that temperatures don’t drop below 40 Fahrenheit.
Don’t place your Dragon’s Tongue near a heater or radiator.
FERTILIZER
Fertilize your Dragon’s Tongue once a month in summer and spring and reduce fertilizing in autumn and winter.
Also, make sure to have a look at our in-depth houseplant fertilization guide.
Nutrients in fertilizers are listed by an NPK ratio. NPK stands for the macronutrients: nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K).
In fall and winter, fertilizing your Dragon’s Tongue won’t be necessary, as it is dormant.
