The Dracaena, also known as the dragon tree, is one of the strongest and easiest houseplants to look after. The word Dracaena comes from the Greek wood 'drakaina', which means 'female dragon'. The plant got its name because some Dracaena species have red sap like the Dracaena Draco. This sap was once seen as a dragon's leaf. The Dracaena is the perfect houseplant for people without green fingers. It can survive for weeks without water or care. It is a tropical plant that originates from the rain forests of Asia, Africa and Central America. Care The Dracaena Marginata grows wider and larger as it grows older and produces new side branches. You can best place the plant in a light spot (half sun) but a place in the shade is also very suitable for this plant. For the leaf color, however, a light spot out of the sun is best. This species of Dracaena has beautiful fresh green leaves with a nice thin red decorative edge around the leaf. Size The plants have a height of 70-80cm upon delivery, measured including the nursery pot. The plants are supplied in a nursery pot with a diameter of 17cm.
