Origin
The Dracaena marginata, also known as the Dragon Tree, originates from Madagascar and other islands of 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 characteristically long, slender stems with sword-like leaves. The leaves typically have a rich green color, surrounded by thin red edges that contribute to its refined appearance. The plant can reach up to 5 meters in height under ideal conditions, although it generally remains smaller indoors.
