Dracaena Marginata (Madagascar Dragon Tree): Sculptural Canes with Red-Edged Leaves

Dragon Tree: Architectural Foliage for Modern Spaces

Dracaena marginata features narrow, arching, dark-green leaves edged in deep red, clustered atop thick, often twisted woody canes. Sold as tabletop bushes, multi-cane floor plants, or dramatic specimen trees, it’s a NASA-approved air purifier and tolerates a wide range of indoor conditions.

Care Summary

Medium to bright indirect light; water when top 50% of soil is dry. Sensitive to fluoride—use filtered water. Lower leaves naturally yellow and drop; trim for neatness. Rotate periodically for even growth.

Pet Note

Slightly toxic to dogs and cats.
