Dracaena deremensis Janet Craig Compacta is a refined, compact cultivar of the popular Dracaena family with lush, deep green foliage and manageable size. Originating from tropical Africa, this plant has been a staple in interior landscaping since the mid-20th century, admired for its resilience and minimal care requirements, making it one of the best easy houseplants for beginners.
This variety stands out with its glossy, lance-shaped leaves that grow densely around a central stem, creating a rosette-like appearance. Unlike its taller counterpart, the standard 'Janet Craig', the 'Compacta' maintains a shorter stature, making it ideal for desks, shelves, and small spaces.
Janet Craig Compacta is a slow-growing plant, typically reaching a height of 2 to 3 feet and a width of 1 to 2 feet over several years. Its upright growth habit and compact form make it an excellent choice for areas with limited space, providing a vertical accent without overwhelming the surroundings.
According to NASA's Clean Air Study, Dracaena varieties, including 'Janet Craig Compacta', effectively remove common indoor pollutants like formaldehyde, benzene, and trichloroethylene, contributing to improved indoor air quality. Moreover, in Feng Shui, Dracaena species are believed to bring positive energy and harmony into the home, symbolizing growth and prosperity.

Thrives as a low light houseplant in bright, indirect light conditions but is tolerant of lower light levels. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot; ensure the pot has proper drainage.
Prefers a well-draining, peat-based potting mix. Fertilize monthly during the growing season with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer; reduce feeding in the fall and winter.
Ideal temperatures range from 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Prefers moderate humidity; occasional misting can help, especially in dry environments.
Dracaena deremensis is toxic to pets and humans if ingested. Keep out of reach of children and animals.

If This Was a Taylor Swift Song: It’s Nice To Have A Friend
Publisher: Viking Books for Young Readers
Pages: 256
Synopsis: Nothing is going right for Nayra Mansour. There's the constant pressure from her strict family, ruthless bullying from her classmates, and exhausting friendship demands from Rami -the only other Muslim girl at school. Nayra has had enough. Just when she's considering transferring schools to escape it all, a mysterious Djinn named Marjan appears. As a djinn, a mythical being in Islamic folklore, Marjan uses their powers and wisdom to help Nayra navigate her overwhelming life. But Marjan's past is fraught with secrets, guilt, and trouble, and if they don't face what they've done, Nayra could pay the price. In this beautifully illustrated graphic novel, Iasmin Omar Ata has created a realistic coming-of-age story with an enchanting dose of the fantastical about strength, identity, and, most of all, friendship.
Review: I thought that this was a very well-written and illustrated graphic novel about Islamic folklore involving djinns. I went into this book not knowing a whole lot about them, but the way that the author and illustrator work together to tell the story about a particular one that comes to Earth was really enchanting. The characters were very well written in my opinion and I really liked that they felt kid-like for upper middle grade lower YA book.
The only thing that I would really fault the book on is that it seemed that the racist instances in the book were just kind of brushed off in a sense? I think the book might have been leading up to a second one in a series, But I would have liked it to be shown that the types of remarks that the main character was experiencing was definitely not okay and that they were being adequately dealt with although I do realize that not every administration body would take this as seriously as others, especially when it comes to our Muslim children, friends, family, and/or neighbors.
Verdict: I really love this book so much! Highly recommend!

Pros and cons
Format: Kindle
I appreciate the representation and the complicated relationship between the two sets of best friends. Friendship is not always easy. However, the art was not up to showing subtle emotions. There were pages of panels where the two friends looked into each others eyes and I couldn't tell what they were feeling. Good effort but this was 2.5 stars rounded to 3.
