Dracaena marginata Cane – Tall, Sculptural Dragon Tree
Create height and elegance in your space with the Dracaena marginata Cane, a classic form of the Madagascar Dragon Tree.

Its vertical, sculptural shape makes it an ideal floor plant for living rooms, offices, entryways, and corners that need a dramatic, low-maintenance statement piece.
Care Needs:
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but adapts well to medium light conditions. Avoid harsh direct sunlight to prevent leaf scorch.
Water: Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry before watering. Dracaena are sensitive to overwatering, so ensure good drainage and avoid letting the plant sit in excess water. Reduce watering in winter.
Humidity & Temperature: Average household humidity is fine. Ideal temperatures range from 65–80°F (18–27°C). Protect from cold drafts or sudden temperature changes.
Soil & Fertilizer: Use a well-draining potting mix. Fertilize every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced water-soluble fertilizer.
Maintenance: Remove older or browning leaves as needed. Rotate the plant occasionally to encourage even, upright growth from all sides
Pet Safety:
Warning: Dracaena marginata Cane is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested, causing vomiting and drooling. Keep out of reach of pets.
With its sleek canes, refined silhouette, and easy-care nature, Dracaena marginata Cane is an excellent choice for adding height, structure, and modern greenery to any interior.
