Dracaena marginata 'Tricolor' – Madagascar Dragon Tree

Dracaena marginata 'Tricolor' – Madagascar Dragon Tree

Lovely narrow leaves striped in green and cream, with margins that deepen toward crimson as they age, make 'Tricolor' an excellent foliage accent for a bright indoor space. Its erect, sparsely branching canes and arching leaves create an attractive, airy silhouette that fits naturally into a houseplant collection. Native to Madagascar, the dragon tree grows well in a freely draining potting mix with bright, indirect light and shade from hot sun. Allow the top inch of soil to dry before watering and avoid leaving the pot standing in water. Moderate humidity and warm, frost-free conditions help keep the foliage looking its best. Offered as a young cane-form plant in a 4-inch pot.
