  •   Large size Dracaena Marginata, also called the Dragon Tree, is a tall, woody houseplant in the Asparagaceae family, native to Madagascar. It grows naturally in dry, open terrain, which shapes its narrow upright form and drought-adapted roots.

      The canes are slender and bare, topped with dense tufts of long, sword-shaped leaves that arch slightly outward. Each leaf is dark green with a narrow burgundy-red edge running its full length. In a large size, the plant reaches ceiling-grazing heights, with multiple canes branching at different levels to form an open, layered canopy.

      Dragon Tree rarely blooms indoors, but when conditions include a consistent drop in nighttime temperature, it can produce small, fragrant white flower clusters on mature stems. More consistently, it earns its place indoors through air-purifying performance. It filters formaldehyde and other airborne toxins from indoor spaces and naturally humidifies the surrounding air.

      Rotate it every few weeks so each side receives even light exposure, as growth tilts noticeably toward the light source. It purifies indoor air steadily and releases oxygen, adding a functional quality to its presence in living rooms, offices, and lobbies. Move it outside for summer, but place it under cover since rain and wet soil can cause problems. Keep it away from air conditioning vents and heating units, as direct blasts of conditioned air affect the leaf tips.

  •   Large size Dracaena Marginata grows well under bright indirect light, including standard office LED fixtures.

      It needs water every 10 to 14 days, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

      Dragon Tree does best in a well-draining, loamy mix with added perlite to prevent waterlogging.

      It prefers temperatures between 65°F and 80°F, away from cold drafts and heating or AC vents.

      Dragon Tree is a slow-growing indoor tree; feed it with a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month in spring and summer.

      It is hardy in USDA zones 10 to 12, tolerating outdoor conditions where temperatures stay above 30°F. It grows outdoors year-round in Florida, Hawaii, Southern California, and parts of Texas and Arizona. It overwinters outdoors across warm coastal areas in those same zones.
  • Q: How much light does Large size Dracaena Marginata need?
    A: Keep it a few feet back from an east- or west-facing window. South-facing windows can scorch the leaf tips and edges, so direct sun exposure through glass should be avoided.

    Q: How do I know when it needs water?
    A: Large size Dracaena Marginata wilts slightly when the soil has been dry too long. Check the top two inches of soil before watering, and hold off if any moisture remains.

    Q: Is Dragon Tree safe around pets?
    A: Cats and dogs should not be left to nibble or eat the plant. Keep it on a high shelf or in a room pets cannot access. The sap can also cause irritation on paws or skin with direct contact.

    Q: How tall will it get indoors?
    A: Dragon Tree can reach six to eight feet indoors over several years, though slow growth keeps it manageable for most rooms.

    Q: Can Dragon Tree handle being left alone during a vacation?
    A: You can leave it up to ten days without water without issue.

    Q: Why are the leaf tips on my plant turning brown?
    A: Dragon Tree is sensitive to dry heated air from vents, and tip browning is the most common result. Moving it away from air conditioning or heating units usually stops further damage.

    🌿 For Houseplants
    When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
    Please remove your plants from their packaging as soon as possible and review the care instructions included with your order. Water based on your plant’s needs, making sure not to overwater.
    Houseplants may need a short adjustment period after arrival. Give your plant time to acclimate to its new space before placing it with other plants. You can gently clean the leaves if needed, and wait to fertilize until it has settled in. Always check soil moisture instead of watering on a fixed schedule.
    *** We pack carefully to protect each plant during transit, so larger orders may arrive in multiple packages.
