Dragon trees are members of the Dracaena group which have heavy trunks. Each trunk is topped with a thick rosette of dark or blue-green, dagger like leaves. Leaf edges may be outlined in red. Madagascar dragon tree is native to Africa and dragon tree is indigenous to the Canary Islands. Height varies for dragon trees from 1-15 feed used indoors.

Plant care

• Medium or high light is best for growth. Dragon trees will survive under low light, but will not grow very much.

• Keep plant soil moist. Don’t allow soil to dry out. Avoid using water containing fluorides on dragon trees as tipburn or leaf spotting will result.

• Maintain temperatures between 65-80F. Dragon trees will tolerate low temperatures of 50F for short periods.

• Apply a fertilizer once every 2 months under medium or high light, every 3-4 months under low light.
