Dracena Marginata Multicolor
Dracena Marginata, more commonly known as a dragon tree, is an attractive plant with green sword-like, red-edged leaves. Native to Madagascar, the eye-catching spiky tree is known as a great entry plant for household gardeners—it's easy to care for, drought-tolerant, and nearly indestructible.
Light
As it thrives most in filtered, bright, indirect light, keep your Dragon Tree out of any direct light. Direct sunlight exposure can damage the leaves (unless the plant was originally grown in the direct sun).
Water
Dracaenas have a reputation for not needing a lot of water. True, but they need a thorough soaking when the soil dries out! Remember -- all plants need water! Dracaenas planted in a six-inch pot should be watered when the soil is dry four inches below the top. Use filtered water, rainwater, or distilled water, as these plants don’t like salts or minerals. Dracaenas prefer dry soil over constantly damp; soggy soil promotes fungus and root rot.
Soil
Nutrient-rich potting soil that is loose and drains well, but still allows for moisture to reach the roots for a few days, is essential for your Dragon Tree. Most pre-mixed soils will suffice. Make sure that there is plenty of organic matter, like coco-coir, peat moss, or shredded leaves, and avoid soils that contain moisture retaining crystals.
