Dracaena marginata (or Dracaena reflexa var. angustifolia) is one of many Dracaena cultivars. Commonly, Dracaena marginata are sometimes called “Dragon Trees” because the name Dracaena comes from a Greek word meaning female dragon. Marginata, in particular, are known for their narrow leaves that are edged in red!Dracaena are great easy care tropical houseplants. They can tolerate anything from bright, indirect light to low light (keep them out of direct sunlight, it will burn their leaves). Their soil should almost entirely dry in between waterings and don’t require much fertilizer (only once or twice a year), which makes them very low maintenance!If you notice any brown leaf tips, it might be due to mineral buildup from your tap water. If you have particularly hard water or use a water softener, switch to watering with filtered water.
