Dracaena 'Red Margined'

Dracaena Red Margined is the classic, original Dragon Tree. Its long, slender, ribbon-like leaves are a deep green edged with a thin, vivid red border that traces every leaf margin from tip to base. It grows on a slim, gracefully curved cane that develops character over time and takes on a palm-like form that works beautifully in modern and tropical-inspired interiors.

Good for beginners? Yes. Dracaena Marginata is one of the most forgiving and adaptable houseplants available. It tolerates low light, inconsistent watering, and most home environments 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 keeps the red margins most vivid and the growth most vigorous. It tolerates lower light but the red edging may become less defined. 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.
