Origin
The Dracaena marginata, also known as the Dragon Tree, originates from Madagascar and other islands in the Indian Ocean. Its presence has also been noted in various tropical and subtropical regions of the world, largely due to its popularity as an indoor plant.
Characteristics
The Dracaena marginata is an evergreen shrub known for its distinctive thin long stems with scissor-like leaves. The leaves usually have a rich green color, surrounded by thin red edges that contribute to its refined appearance. The plant can grow up to 5 meters tall in ideal conditions, although it generally remains smaller indoors.

Caring for the Dracaena marginata involves providing indirect light and limiting water. While it can withstand some drought, it is important not to overwater the plant. Under normal room conditions, the plant should be watered about once every two weeks. The ideal temperature for this plant ranges between 18 and 25 degrees Celsius.
