Bring a touch of the dramatic to your home with the elegant Dracaena marginata, more commonly known as the Dragon Tree. This striking houseplant features a slender, tree-like trunk topped with a crown of long, narrow leaves that boast beautiful, vibrant red margins. Its unique and sculptural silhouette makes it a fantastic focal point for any room, adding a sophisticated and exotic flair to your decor. Highly valued for its air-purifying qualities and forgiving nature, the Dragon Tree is an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced plant enthusiasts.
Care Tips:
-
Light: Your Dragon Tree will thrive in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light levels, you may find that its growth slows and the vibrant red colour on the leaves becomes less pronounced.
-
Watering: Allow the top half of the soil to dry out completely between waterings. This plant is susceptible to root rot, so it's far better to underwater than to overwater.
-
Temperature: It prefers average room temperatures, ideally between 18-24°C. Protect it from cold draughts and sudden temperature fluctuations.
-
Humidity: The Dragon Tree is quite tolerant of average household humidity levels, so no special care is needed here.
-
Soil: Use a well-draining, good quality potting mix that is chunky and aerated.
-
Fertilising: Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
This captivating Dracaena marginata comes supplied in a 12cm nursery pot, ready to be placed in a decorative planter and instantly elevate your space with its beautiful, tropical aesthetic.
