Dracaena 'Colorama'

Dracaena Colorama is the most vivid and striking color variant in the Dracaena marginata family. Its long, slender leaves grow in a fountain-like formation from a central stem, each one edged in a vivid, intense reddish-pink that deepens in bright light to an almost magenta tone. In brighter conditions the red becomes truly spectacular. It grows slowly, lives for years, and brings an upright, architectural quality to any room it occupies.

Good for beginners? Yes. Dracaena is one of the most forgiving houseplant genera. Colorama is adaptable, low-maintenance, and tolerates a range of light and watering conditions without drama.

Safe for cats and dogs? Dracaena is toxic to pets if ingested. Keep out of reach of cats and dogs, or explore our pet-safe plant collection.

Light needs: Medium to bright indirect light produces the most intense red and pink coloring. In lower light the red fades toward a duller pink-green. Avoid direct sun which can scorch the leaf tips.

Care at a glance: Allow soil to dry to the touch between waterings. Use filtered water where possible as Dracaenas are sensitive to fluoride. Feed monthly in spring and summer. Avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F.
