Know before you buy
This plant prefers bright, indirect light. While it is adaptable, placing it near a window with filtered sunlight will help maintain the vibrancy of its variegated leaves.
No, the Dracaena Marginata 'Sunshine' is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best to place it in a location that is inaccessible to curious animals.
The plant arrives established in its own pot with soil, so it is ready to display as soon as you unbox it. You do not need to repot it right away.
As an easy-care plant, it prefers to dry out slightly between waterings. Check the top inch of soil; if it feels dry to the touch, it is time to provide a moderate amount of water.
The 'Sunshine' variety features a strong, upright growth habit. It grows vertically rather than spreading outward, making it an excellent choice for corners or tighter spaces.
