DRACAENA MARGINATA

Latin Name: Dracaena Marginata (Dragon tree)

Description: A attractive, low maintenance plant with green sword-like, red-edged leaves. It is easy to take care for, drought-tolerant, nearly indestructible, and has air-purifying qualities. The leaves are thin, long, and elegant. The middles of the foliage are a fabulous bright green, and edged with bright red. The lower leaves slowly wither away to reveal the tropical, thin, palm-tree-like trunk. Toxic to pets, so best kept at a height if you share your home with furry friends.

Watering: It is very easy to over-water the plant. Wait until the top half of the soil is dry before watering. (This can often take three weeks or more)
