Dragon Tree 'Magenta' 10"

Dracaena marginata
The traditional "thriller" Dracaena family consists of thin, long, lance-shaped leaves that produce a spikey, grass-like, tropical foliage plant. Spikes can be green, have burgundy margins, tricolored foliage, and may develop woody stems. 'Magenta' offers beautiful dark leaves with a light, dark-red glow, which is one reason is it also called Dragon Tree or Dragon Blood Tree. This plant removes harmful substances from the air and so is recognized as one of the air-purifying houseplants. They can be planted in the ground or in containers in any light condition, though direct sun should be avoided. Winter over or grown year round as a houseplant. Grow in sun to shady areas, well-drained, amended soil or containers. Feed with a slow release fertilizer, Osmocote? or Plant-tone?. Follow label instructions. Trim dry tips and remove yellow foliage as they shed their bottom leaves. Over winter or grow indoors as a houseplant if desired. Mulch 2" to suppress weeds, retain moisture and protect against extremes of soil temperature.
