Common Name:
Madagascar Dragon Tree

Description:
Dracaena marginata, commonly known as the Madagascar Dragon Tree, is a popular and stylish indoor plant celebrated for its striking, upright form and narrow, arching leaves edged in deep red or burgundy. Native to Madagascar, this slow-growing evergreen tree features woody stems and tufts of spiky foliage that give it a dramatic, sculptural look. In Melbourne, it is best suited for indoor growing or under cover outdoors in frost-free, well-sheltered spots. This plant thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light levels, making it exceptionally versatile for homes and offices. It prefers well-drained soil and only needs watering when the top few centimetres of soil dry out. Drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, it's a go-to plant for beginners and seasoned indoor gardeners alike. While it rarely flowers in cultivation, its architectural foliage ensures year-round appeal.
