CARE TIPS:

Light: Your Dracaena marginata will grow best in medium to bright indirect light. Dracaena marginata can also grow in lower light conditions but make sure you adjust the frequency of watering accordingly. The less light a plant gets the slower it will use the water in the soil.

Water: Dracaena marginata wants to go almost completely dry in-between watering. If you have a saucer underneath of your Dracaena marginata make sure to dump any standing water after a thorough watering.

Did you know? The red margins on the edges of the leaves of Dracaena marginata will change depending on the amount of light it gets. The brighter light your plant gets the brighter the red will be!
