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.

Works well but pay attention **REVISED**
The device has worked well for me. However potential buyers should note that the 2nd USB C port is reserved for power input from a separately purchased power supply. So the device provides only a single USB C port for attaching devices. I use the device on power from my own computer. So undocking my computer requires some careful steps in the correct sequence: (1) eject all external drives; (2) power down the external display; (3) unplug Anker from computer; (4) remove power from the computer. The device comes at a great price, though, so excellent value.
*REVISION*
After four months of use, the HDMI port seemed to fail--the monitor was indicating that it was not connected. I wrote to Anker support and received a reply within two hours. The reply told me how to reset the docking station. It worked. Kudoes to Anker Support!

Quality multi display hub
Works as intended, good value for the money and reasonably sized. I am currently running two 4K HDMI monitors on it without an issue.
Ready to go out of the box and has a sturdy design, would recommend.

Anker support comes through
Update: Anker support contacted me and provided a new unit. On this one, the video works fine, both via HDMI and DisplayPort. I'm much happier now that the unit, which I do like, works properly.
There is still one video-related quirk that can be annoying, though, if you often unplug the external monitor from the hub but leave the hub connected to the computer. When I unplug the external monitor from the hub, the hub doesn't tell the computer that the monitor is no longer connected (the same thing happened with the original faulty unit). Since the external monitor is my primary monitor when connected, this leads to an irritating set of steps ending up with disconnecting the hub. I reported this issue to Anker support and they forwarded it to their engineering group.
Initial review: I like the form factor and the many connection options. They all work fine EXCEPT that the video (whether DisplayPort or HDMI) keeps dropping out. The computer (MacBook Pro M1 14" running MacOS 13.0.1) thinks the external monitor is there, but nothing shows on the screen for a few seconds, then it comes back on, then off again. Anker support says to try updating the firmware, but to do that requires a Windows computer with a USB-C port. I do not have access to such a machine, so I'm stuck. Since one of the primary reasons I want a hub is to handle the video, I have to return the unit. This is a real disappointment since I otherwise have been very happy with Anker products.

Incredible Quality, Incredible Results!!
AMAZING!! I use my Samsung Z Fold with a Maono Podcast Soundboard for podcasting. Having the phone charge from the soundboard power passthrough was inadequate to keep the phone charged, and generated "noise" in the path.
I got the Anker 565 USB-C hub, and routed the power and signal through the Anker hub. WOW!! My phone remains fully charged throughout the podcast, there is ZERO "noise" in the signal, and I can actually do more than ever expected!
The quality of Anker products has been proven with me Over and Over with every single product I have purchased. From high-end 240w USB-C cords, to Power Banks, Power Blocks, Bluetooth Earbuds & Headphones, across the board; I have never been disappointed!
I highly recommend Anker, and specifically the Anker 565 USB-C hub!!

Versatile with all the ports you’re looking for.
Compact and really expands your options. I was using one of the ports on the MacBook Pro M1 for a second display and the other for an external drive and then switching back and forth with the charger. This device does all that and only uses one of the ports. Plus there are multiple USB OLD STYLE still available. No external power appears to be necessary, although since I use the Mac power supply in the dedicated power in port I’d think there’d be no issue.
