Dracaena Marginata "Dragon Tree"

Dracaena marginata, commonly known as the Dragon Tree or Madagascar Dragon Tree, is a popular indoor plant prized for its slender, upright stems and striking foliage.The leaves are typically dark green with red or burgundy margins, although there are varieties with different color variations, including solid green or variegated leaves.

Like other Dracaena species, Dracaena marginata is known for its air-purifying properties, helping to remove toxins such as formaldehyde, benzene, and trichloroethylene from indoor air, making it an excellent choice for improving indoor air quality.

This plant is relatively low maintenance and can tolerate a range of light and humidity conditions, making it suitable for beginner plant enthusiasts.

• Light: Dracaena marginata thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. Place it near a window where it can receive plenty of filtered sunlight throughout the day. It can tolerate lower light conditions but may grow more slowly and develop less vibrant foliage.

• Watering: Allow the top inch of the soil to dry out between waterings, and then water thoroughly until water drains from the bottom of the pot. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during the winter months when growth slows down.

• Fertilization: Feed Dracaena marginata with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing during the winter months when growth slows down.

• Pruning: Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves regularly to maintain the plant's appearance and overall health. You can also prune back any leggy stems to encourage bushier growth.
