Introducing the Dragon Tree, also known as Dracaena draco. The Greek word "drákaina," which means "female dragon," gave rise to the name "dracaena." This refers to the 'Draco' kind of brilliant red resin. 

The name "dragon tree" is believed to have originated from the red sap that oozes from the trunk when cut, resembling a dragon's blood. This unique characteristic has contributed to its mythical and intriguing reputation.


Hailing from Madagascar, it is also known as the Madagascar dragon tree and goes by many other common names such as dragon blood tree, corn plant, ribbon plant, Asparagus Draco, and dragon's blood plant.

The dragon tree, a tall, cylindrical tree with sword-shaped leaves, grows tall in the landscape, whereas the houseplant is shorter but has identical leaves.

This dragon tree stands tall and can grow up to 15 feet tall in its natural habitat.

If grown indoors, it can grow up to 4 feet boasting a thick cylindrical trunk adorned with stunning rosettes. These rosettes are no ordinary ones either; they are crowned with magnificent sword-shaped leaves that will make you feel like you've stepped into a mythical kingdom.

The dragon plant flowers bloom from late winter to early spring, with white flowers, which are produced in clusters on the tips of its branches. The flowers emit a strong, sweet fragrance that attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies. The blooming period is relatively short, lasting only a few weeks.

Interesting Facts

  1. The dragon tree has a thick, gnarled trunk that adds a touch of character and charm to its overall appearance.
  2. It has a long lifespan and can live for several decades, becoming a cherished part of your home.
  3. Its sap is a vibrant red color, giving it a dramatic and eye-catching appearance.
  4. The Dragon Tree is believed to bring good luck and positive energy to its surroundings, according to ancient folklore.

Propagation of the dragon tree can easily be done by stem cuttings. Simply take a cutting from the stem of the healthy plant and allow it to dry out before planting it in well-draining soil. Keep the cutting in a warm, humid environment to encourage root growth.

With its show-stopping presence, this dragon blood tree will undoubtedly add to the landscape of your lovely home. Plus, this slow-growing plant is perfect for those who want to add something truly special to their collection.   

Watering Needs 

The dragon blood tree is a succulent shrub that definitely stands out from the rest. Since it is a drought-tolerant plant, it does not need much water, but should not be overwatered or underwatered. But here's a fun fact - unlike most trees, dragon trees do not tolerate prolonged drought well. 

In fact, during the scorching summer months, it might require watering once a week to keep those arms perky and looking their best. Keep the soil moist but not saturated.

If you ever notice your dragon blood plant gradually curling towards the center, don't freak out! That just means they're thirsty and in need of some water. So, make sure to water them thoroughly when you see this happen (but be careful not to let them stand in watery soil), or else risk facing root rot - yikes! 

Stay on top of your watering game with this quirky dragon plant and watch as they continue to thrive and turn heads with their unique appearance. 

Light Requirements 

If growing indoors, place your Dracaena tree a few feet away from the south-facing window. If they don't receive enough light for a long period, their stems may grow leggy and become paler and their spines will shorten; so, make your house plant happy and give it plenty of light. 

For outdoor cultivation, the dragon tree requires a lot of light and should be grown in either full sun or part shade. New plants can get burned in the full sun as they were probably grown in a greenhouse; therefore, dragon blood tree exposure to sunlight gradually increases. If the sun is too bright and is burning your plant's leaves, consider purchasing a sunshade or moving the plant to a more shaded location.  

The dragon tree can also thrive in filtered or low-light conditions. It can also grow in areas that are partially shaded, but not in those that receive direct sunlight. The plant is vulnerable to exposure to the full sun. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

Dracaena plant favors very airy, sandy soil that drains well. Planting them in ordinary soil will result in compacted roots, stunted growth, and most likely root rot. Instead, make or buy a well-draining regular potting soil, or ideally use Soil Cactus Mix Blend 1 Gal 4 Qtour specialized potting mix that contains over 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your blood tree to thrive. 

When it comes to fertilizing your dragon blood trees, it only needs a tiny bit applied once a year in the spring growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer that has lower doses of NPK (5-10-5). No harsh chemicals here, folks - just pure, natural goodness that lasts longer and encourages nutrient absorption, so your succulent stays happy as a clam.  

So go ahead and give your Dragon's blood plant some love with a good natural fertilizer because when it comes to soil and fertilizers, through experience, we know what works best!  

Hardiness Zones & More 

When growing indoors, the Dragon Tree prefers average room temperatures ranging from 6°F to 75°F. It can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures, but it's best to avoid extreme temperature fluctuations. It is adaptable and can tolerate average indoor humidity levels. However, it appreciates a slightly higher humidity level, so misting the leaves occasionally or placing a humidifier nearby can be beneficial, especially during dry winter months.

For outdoor cultivation, the Dragon Tree is best suited for USDA hardiness zones 9 to 12, which are regions with mild winters and warm climates. The Dragon Tree can tolerate temperatures as low as 30°F for short periods but prefers temperatures above 50°F. It's important to protect it from frost and extreme temperature fluctuations, as they can damage the plant.

Final Thoughts

Overall, the Dragon Tree (Dracaena draco), is a stunning indoor plant with spiky foliage that adds a touch of exotic beauty to any space. It's known for its easy care, making it perfect for beginners. This plant thrives in bright, indirect light and can tolerate lower light conditions too. It likes average room temperatures and can handle normal indoor humidity levels. Just water it when the top inch of soil is dry, and mist the leaves occasionally for a little extra humidity.

Good after-sun spray
The pros: We have used this a couple of times after getting more sun than we wanted, and it seems to work as advertised. It has a cooling feel to it, and seems to soothe the skin well. It's not greasy and it absorbs well -- I didn't notice I had it on it after initially putting it on. It doesn't have a glow or shine to it. It also has a very minor fragrance -- not one that's noticeable. The size is great; you can take it with you on vacation and even put it in your carry-on. Perhaps most important, I am glad for the more natural ingredients involved -- ones that aren't toxic. The cons: It's a little expensive, as most sun bum products are. And it seems to work well, but I feel like aloe works similarly.

Great Hypochlorous Spray!
I love Sun Bum and I regularly use hypochlorous acid in my skincare routine, so I was stoked to try this! First, I have sensitive skin that’s prone to redness, dryness, and acne. Hypochlorous acid has been a godsend on days where I need a toner step but my skin doesn’t want to tolerate anything. Hypochlorous acid is also great for acne healing and prevention. On top of all of that, it’s good for general skin healing so this can definitely be used on the rest of your body wherever your skin may be irritated (please use common sense here lol). There’s no scent which is great and exactly what you’d want in a hypochlorous acid spray. The way it feels is comparable to magic molecules hypochlorous acid spray, which is what I’ve been using until receiving this one to try. It’s like a very watery toner. The spray itself is a fine mist and doesn’t feel like getting blasted in the face lol. It takes maybe 30 seconds to a minute to dry down after spraying a few sprays on your face, just depending how dry your skin and climate are. It’s a great base for literally any other skincare and it’s also a great refresher to spray on top of other products during the day. It really does it all. As far as value, I will say even though the price is comparable, you get more with magic molecules. I’ve included some photos to compare the bottle size. While I’m thrilled to try this for free, I don’t think I would repurchase unless it was on sale/better value than the MM version. It is a cute little bottle and looks good with my other skincare, just in case that’s something you care about. The bottle is fully plastic - no glass. Some may prefer that and some not. I find it really easy for chucking in my bag/traveling. I haven’t noticed any issues with leaking although I truthfully haven’t traveled with it that much. I’m giving this 5 stars because it’s a really solid choice for a hypochlorous acid from a great brand and it’s sensitive skin friendly!

Works grear
I'm big fan of Sun Bum and their product lines. I burn easily and my skin gets sore even when protected so I use a lot of after sun products. This one is a good on the go product. It does a good job at moisturizing the skin while smelling good at the same time. Compared to other brands this product pricing a grear value for the money. I will be adding a can to my after sun routine.

Seems to help
I usually really like Sun Bum products so I was excited to try this. I am on vacation in FL right now and spending a lot of time in the sun. I got a bit burned the first day so I used this that night. It’s meant for the face but I also used some on my arms. It has no scent at all. I’m fine with that. It is a watery spray. So when you spray it on your skin it sort of beads up. I suppose you can let it soak in but I was impatient so I rubbed it in. It did not sting and it did leave my skin feeling somewhat moisturized but it’s not like using lotion or cream. It did not reduce any of the redness from the sunburn although I’m not sure if it’s supposed to. But my sunburn did not hurt the next day after using it. To be fair, I use tretinoin cream so my face is especially sensitive to the sun. My skin gets irritated very easily but this spray did not bother me at all. For myself, I’ll probably continue to use sunscreen for sunburn aftercare but this spray is convenient and it doesn’t leave any residue like creams would.

Basic hypochlorous acid
My family has used hypochlorous acid for a long long time for everything from cuts and scrapes to pink eye to sunburns to preventing mold and mildew in kid cups and showers. It’s an amazing solution to so many things and even makes an awesome hand sanitizer. Plus it’s safe for consumption so can be used on kid toys or directly on skin. Despite packaging differences they’re pretty much all the same if they’re pure hypochlorous acid. Like others this one is not greasy, has no fragrance and is lightweight. It is water based so it’s moisturizing and prevents infection. At a current price of $14 for 2 ounces this is on the higher end. I think the value is just okay and worth comparing other brands (check ingredients!) but this small size is very handy for throwing in a beach bag or purse.
