Dracaena marginata aka Dragon Tree

Caring for Dragon Tree is a breeze, as it is highly adaptable and forgiving to minor neglect.

Dragon Tree does best in dry soil and should only be watered sparingly.

Dragon Tree loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

During the cold period, it is common for Dragon Tree to go dormant, resulting in a slowdown of growth. To accommodate this, waterings should be spaced out more.

Ploi lacks confirmed information on the toxicity of this plant. If you, a relative, or your pet accidentally consume plant material with unknown toxicity, it's best to consult a medical expert.

Dragon Tree plants thrive in dry environments, however, if you choose to provide extra humidity or mist your plant, the lingering water on the leaves can create an ideal environment for certain types of harmful fungi.

The Dragon Tree grows at a slow pace and doesn't require any supplementary fertilizers. By renewing its potting soil once a year, it should receive enough nourishment. Remember, plants obtain their energy from sunlight, not fertilizers.

Dragon Tree’s native range is Africa to Southern Asia and Australia.
