Dracaena Marginata Cane is the mature, multi-stemmed form of the classic Dragon Tree. Several slim, woody canes rise together from a single pot, each one topped with a cascading fountain of long, narrow leaves edged in red. The canes develop a natural curve and character with age, giving the plant a sculptural, almost bonsai-like presence that makes it one of the most elegant large-format houseplants available. It is low maintenance, slow growing, and genuinely long-lived.

Good for beginners? Yes. Dracaena Marginata is one of the most forgiving large houseplants you can own. It tolerates inconsistent watering, adapts to a range of light conditions, and grows steadily without fuss.

Safe for cats and dogs? Dracaena is toxic to pets if ingested. Keep out of reach of cats and dogs, or explore our pet-safe plant collection.

Light needs: Medium to bright indirect light keeps the red leaf margins most vivid and the growth most vigorous. It tolerates lower light but growth slows significantly. Avoid direct sun which can scorch the leaf tips.

Care at a glance: Allow soil to dry to the touch between waterings. Use filtered water where possible as Dracaenas are sensitive to fluoride. Feed monthly in spring and summer. Avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F.
