Description

Dracaena Marginata, the Madagascar Dragon Tree, brings an architectural, almost sculptural quality indoors: slender woody stems crowned with fountains of narrow green leaves edged in red.

It is one of the toughest indoor plants you can own — it tolerates low light, dry air and irregular watering, and grows slowly enough to stay manageable for years. A great choice for offices, hallways and anyone who wants height without the hassle.

Care guide

• Light: Bright indirect to low light. Stronger light deepens the red edges.
• Water: Every 1–2 weeks; let the top soil dry between waterings.
• Humidity: Tolerates dry, air-conditioned air.
• Tip: Brown leaf tips usually mean inconsistent watering — keep a rhythm.
• Pets: Keep away from pets; toxic if chewed.
