Dracaena fragrans 'Tornado' – Dragon Tree

Dracaena fragrans 'Tornado' – Dragon Tree

A lovely twist on a classic houseplant, 'Tornado' arranges glossy dark green leaves with broad lime-green margins into a distinctive swirling rosette. Young plants have a compact, rounded silhouette that makes an attractive accent for a desk, shelf, or tabletop; with time, the plant develops an upright central stem. Its slow growth and bold foliage make it an excellent addition to an indoor collection. Provide bright, indirect light, protection from hot sun and drafts, and a freely draining potting mix. Water when the surface begins to dry, let excess water drain away, and reduce watering in winter without allowing the root ball to become completely dry.
