Madagascar Dragon Tree
Red-edged Dracaena
2. Taxonomy & Classification
Order: Asparagales
Family: Asparagaceae
Subfamily: Nolinoideae
Genus: Dracaena
Species: D. marginata
3. Origin & Distribution
Native to the island of Madagascar. Widely cultivated as an ornamental houseplant in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. Occasionally naturalized in warm outdoor climates such as Florida and Hawaii.
4. Visual Characteristics
Stems: Slender, cane-like, woody, grey-brown, often branched with age.
Leaves: Long, narrow (2–3 cm wide, 30–40 cm long), lanceolate, arching; glossy dark green center with red or burgundy margins.
Growth Habit: Upright, clumping, multi-stemmed fountain-like form.
5. Size & Dimensions
Height: 1.5–2 m indoors; up to 6 m outdoors in ideal climates.
Spread: 0.5–1 m depending on pruning.
Leaf Length: 30–40 cm.
Stem Diameter: 1–2 cm.
6. Light Requirements
Bright indirect light is ideal. Tolerates medium to low indirect light but growth slows. Avoid direct midday sun to prevent leaf scorch.
7. Watering Needs
Allow the top 2–3 cm of soil to dry before watering thoroughly, then drain excess. Reduce frequency in winter. Avoid waterlogging to prevent root rot.
8. Soil & Potting
Use a well-draining mix of peat or coco coir, perlite and pine bark. Maintain slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–6.5). Repot every 2–3 years or when rootbound.
9. Temperature & Humidity
Temperature: Optimal 18–24 °C; minimum 15 °C. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 10 °C.
Humidity: Prefers moderate (40–60%). Average home humidity is acceptable; occasional misting or humidity tray is beneficial.
10. Fertilization
Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10 NPK) every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer. Do not fertilize in winter. Flush soil periodically to prevent salt buildup.
11. Maintenance & Care Level
Low maintenance. Prune yellowing or damaged leaves. Wipe foliage to remove dust. Stake tall stems if needed. Monitor for pests and treat promptly.
12. Growth & Propagation
Growth Rate: Moderate (15–30 cm per year under optimal conditions).
Propagation: Stem cuttings—take 10–15 cm sections, allow ends to callus, then insert in moist potting mix or water until roots form. Cane cuttings can also be laid horizontally to root.
13. Common Problems
Overwatering: Yellow leaves, root rot.
Underwatering or low humidity: Brown leaf tips.
Fluoride sensitivity: Leaf tip burn when using fluoridated water.
Pests: Spider mites, mealybugs, scale—treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
14. Benefits & Uses
Air-purifying: removes formaldehyde, benzene and trichloroethylene.
Architectural accent in homes, offices and lobbies.
Tolerant of lower light, ideal for interior spaces.
15. Toxicity & Safety
Toxic to pets (cats and dogs): ingestion causes vomiting, drooling and weakness.
Mildly toxic to humans if ingested, may cause nausea and irritation.
