Dracaena is a popular indoor plant with long, slender green leaves edged with red. These plants are great for beginners because they’re drought tolerant and not at all fussy about their light conditions.

It’s the perfect combination of beauty and hardiness that makes a great houseplant!

Dracaena is native to Madagascar and is also called the Madagascar dragon tree (or just dragon tree). This tree can grow up to 20 feet tall outdoors but won’t get taller than 6 feet indoors, especially if you prune it back. It’s a member of the dracaena family, which contains around 120 species of plants native to Africa, northern Australia, and South Asia.

This plant was also used in NASA’s famous Clean Air Study and was shown to help remove formaldehyde from indoor air!

Dracaena prefers bright, indirect light, but if you’re short on light in your home, no worries! This plant will also do just fine in lower light conditions, but it won’t grow as quickly or use water as efficiently. (So just be careful not to overwater.)

These plants are quite drought-resistant and don’t require a lot of water, so wait until the top half of the soil is completely dry before watering. Then, water thoroughly with distilled water, until water starts to run out the drainage holes at the bottom of the pot. 

It’s important to use distilled water or another non-fluoridated water because fluoride and other salts in the water can cause the tips of dracaena’s leaves to get brown and crispy (and this goes for all species of dracaena).

Anxious

I had to wait until today to offer my review because my shipment didn’t come until today. The plants(3) were well secure in the shipping box. Great idea to tape all the plants to the box so they won’t shift. The plants themselves were well wrapped for their safety. The plants arrived in good shape.

Very beautiful plant. This plant exceeded my expectations. It is a bit larger than I anticipated. That is a very positive thing. Came to me very well cared for. I was pleased with my purchase.

Shipping a Christmas Cactus

I was leery of shipping this plant, however it arrived in perfect condition, travelling from Michigan to California, and was even blooming when it arrived! I am so pleased with this as it was a gift for my niece. I will happily ship a plant from The Rooted Plant Shop again!
