Looking for a striking Madagascar dragon plant to elevate your indoor space? This live plant, also known as red-edge dracaena (dracaena marginata), is a popular choice for its unique appearance and easy care. With its slender stems and narrow green leaves edged in red or pink, the Madagascar dragon tree adds a touch of the tropics to any room. Plus, you’ll receive a FREE plant food to help it thrive!
The Madagascar dragon tree’s upright habit makes it a versatile houseplant. Use it to fill blank wall space, create a sense of privacy near a window, or add a touch of greenery at the end of a sofa or chair. Younger plants bring beautiful texture to tabletops and desks and are often included in dish gardens for their grassy look.
This dracaena marginata can grow to 6 feet tall or more, but pruning can maintain its desired height. Its slender gray stems are topped with tufts of arching, sword-shaped leaves that are deep green with reddish edges. As the plant ages, lower leaves fall off, leaving distinctive diamond-shaped leaf scars on the stems. Enjoy the benefits of clean air and natural beauty with this easy-to-care-for houseplant.
