Dracaena marginata / ‘Madagascar Dragon Tree’

A strikingly rugged plant, with a bark-like stem and long, arching green leaves. It’s native to Madagascar where it can grow up to 20 feet tall but indoors won’t get much taller than 6 feet. It’s a pretty resilient plant, making it an easy beginner plant that will bring a tropical vibe to any space.

*Pot size: 21cm. Toxic to pets.*

Did you know?

Dracaena is one of the plants used in NASA’s famous clean air study, where it was shown to remove toxins from the air.

Watering

These plants don’t require a lot of watering and are pretty drought-resistant. When the top half of the soil is completely dry, water thoroughly and allow the plant to dry out between waters.

Lighting

This plant prefers bright, indirect light, but due to it’s hardiness it’s pretty resilient anywhere apart from in blaring sun. However, be mindful that growing speed will be reduced in lower light.
