Tap water is fine but I always let it get to room temperature first. Water from the tap would be too cold and that would put the plant in shock. I fill a jug or whatever and let it sit over night. Also it's good to keep a spray bottle to mist the leaves.

Did you know that the common name for Dracaena is 'Mother-in-laws Tongue'? I agree with bugsie. DO NOT OVER WATER!!!! Once a month should be enough depending on the type of soil. Also, the plant likes to be crowded in its pot, so, you won't need to re-pot it too often. Don't let the roots strangle in the pot; watch for that depending on the plant soil and size of container you got at the nursery. Enjoy!
