The Dragon Tree Magenta is often mistaken for a palm tree but this Dracaena is actually part of the same family as the Yucca. It’s as hardy and durable as they come and an awesome air purifier. The small size is tall and slim, it makes the perfect desk plant - requires little space or care! The large size will be great for a hallway or bedroom. 

Often mistaken for a palm tree, I am actually a relation of the Yucca. I'm hardy, durable and an awesome air purifier. Tall and slim, I create an indoor garden easily in any space.

Compared to other Dracaenas, the Marginata Magenta’s leaves are thinner. It has a grey-brown bark that can produce other stems so occasional pruning is needed. 

How to Care for the Dragon Tree 'Magenta'

  • The Dragon Tree Magenta prefers light shade. It will thrive in a bright room but keep it away from direct sunlight. 
  • Water it enough to keep the soil always moist, but not wet. 
  • Mist it often to keep humidity and to help remove any dust that may fall on to the leaves. 
  • Feed it in the warmer months monthly, reducing the frequency as the weather gets colder. 
  • Avoid temperatures under 10ºC. This plant will prefer a range between 16 and 24ºC. 
  • Its roots grow quite fast but the plant will not need to be reported more than once every 2 years as they can do well with very little root room. 
  • Any old leaves that are ready to fall can be removed. You can cut back its stems to maintain its size.
