Dracaena marginata, also known as the Madagascar dragon tree or simply dragon tree, features tufts of slender, typically upright leaves with a vibrant red margin on each side, adding a pop of color and welcome vertical dimension to any room and collection of shorter or largely shorter plants. Dracaena marginata can grow up to 6 feet tall on thin trunks, or canes, lending a unique silhouette to an appropriately sized space. Lower leaves fall off with age, revealing the canes and leaving interesting diamond-shaped leaf scars. Rarely flowers indoors. Dracaena marginata is low maintenance and easy to grow. Keep it in a spot with bright, indirect light and water it when the top inch of soil feels dry. You can fertilize it regularly during the growing season and prune occasionally to maintain shape. If you're looking for a stylish, no-fuss plant that will add height, strappy shape, and color to your home, Dracaena marginata will make a fine addition to your planty family.
