  •   Dracaena 'Marginata Cane', also called Red-Edged Dracaena, is a member of the Dracaena family native to Madagascar. It resembles a small palm tree, with an upright, tree-like growth habit that brings a tropical feel to any room.

      Long, thin leaves in forest green with vivid red or white edges grow in clusters along sturdy canes, creating the plant's signature columnar silhouette. The foliage is variegated with crisp color contrasts and grows strongly upright. It adapts well to a wide range of indoor environments and light conditions.

      'Marginata Cane' produces small flowers indoors only rarely. The plant's appeal lies in its foliage rather than blooms, and it grows well in average room temperatures without requiring special treatment to flower or remain healthy.

      It grows well under office LED lighting and tolerates low to medium light, though it scorches in direct south-facing windows. Place it on a shelf or floor away from heating vents and air conditioning units, as it is sensitive to drafty air. It will wilt slightly when the soil is completely dry. Keep it out of reach of small children and away from pets, as the sap causes skin and paw irritation.

  •   Dracaena 'Marginata Cane' tolerates medium light, bright indirect light, and low light, including office LED environments.

      Water it every 10-14 days during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry between waterings.

      'Marginata Cane' does best in well-draining potting mix with peat or coco coir and perlite.

      It prefers average room temperatures between 65-75°F and is sensitive to cold drafts and heating vents.

      'Marginata Cane' grows upright at a moderate pace and needs little fertilizing; apply balanced fertilizer once during spring.

      It is hardy in USDA zones 10-12, surviving outdoors year-round in Hawaii, southern Florida, and southern California where it needs shelter from rain and strong winds.
  • Q: Can Dracaena 'Marginata Cane' go long periods without water?
    A: You can leave it up to ten days without water.

    Q: What happens if I place it in direct afternoon sun?
    A: Dracaena 'Marginata Cane' scorches in south-facing windows, developing brown patches on the cream-colored or green foliage. Keep it 2-3 feet from the window or in a spot with bright indirect light.

    Q: Is 'Marginata Cane' beginner-friendly?
    A: It tolerates low-light office environments and grows in a range of indoor conditions.

    Q: What's the best way to increase humidity around it?
    A: 'Marginata Cane' grows in humid conditions above 50% humidity. Position it near kitchens or bathrooms where moisture naturally accumulates.

    Q: Is Red-Edged Dracaena safe for cats and dogs?
    A: No, it should be kept out of reach of pets and small children. The sap causes skin and paw irritation if chewed or eaten.

    Q: Can I propagate Red-Edged Dracaena from cuttings?
    A: Yes, cut 4-6 inch sections of the cane just below a node and place them in water or moist soil. Roots develop within 2-3 weeks.

    🌿 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.
