- Botanical Name: Dracaena Marginata
- Common Names: Red Margined, Madagascar Dragon tree
- Description: According to NASA, the red margined is a clean air plant with flexible pointed leaves with red edges. The houseplant is an evergreen tree with stiff, ribbon-like red-margined green leaves and slim, curving stalks for trunks.
- Dracaena thrives in rich soil with plenty of organic material such as a well-draining or peaty commercial potting soil. Generally, plant dracaena marginata in any soil that doesn’t become soggy and isn’t prone to pooling water. Slightly sandy soil that drains quickly provides the best growing conditions for the plant.
- Dracaena requires moderate to bright indirect sunlight. Brown spots on the leaves may be a telltale sign that the plant is getting too much direct light. Also, if the plant doesn’t get enough light, i.e growing in low light condition its leaves generally turn pale or yellow.
- Just like any other houseplant, dracaena should be consistently watered when the top layer of soil dries to a depth of approximately two inches. Insert a finger into the soil near the plant’s base to check the soil’s level of moisture. Water the plant when the top 2 inches of the soil feel dry but before the soil dries completely at a 6-inch depth. Check the soil moisture weekly, especially during extended dry weather.
