Know before you buy
This plant prefers bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, its growth will slow significantly and the vibrant red edges on the leaves may fade.
Water only when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. It is important not to overwater, as this plant prefers to dry out slightly between sessions to prevent root rot.
No, the Dracaena Marginata is considered toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. It is best to place it in an area that is inaccessible to your pets.
As a slow-growing species, it typically reaches a mature indoor height of under six feet. Its tree-like form makes it a great vertical accent for corners or living spaces.
It thrives in moderate to high humidity, ideally between 50% and 60%. If your home is particularly dry, you can mist the leaves occasionally or place the plant near a humidifier.
