    Hi All,

    I recently got a dracaena and I have it placed in my living room which has 2 Southeast facing windows. I wanted to know if it would be okay approximately 15ft from the windows. Will it?

    Unlikely to do well that far from a window. If you want a plant for
    such a low light situation either silk plants or Sansevieria trifasciata.

    How close should it be to the window?

    About 10ft and see how it responds. If it becomes spindly then closer still.
    While that's adequate light here in Texas it might represent full shade in a
    cityscape due to tall buildings.
