Introducing our Giant Dracaena Marginata

The name Dragon Tree isn't just good branding. Those narrow, red-edged leaves fanning out from bare, sculptural canes do look like something that belongs in a more dramatic story than your living room. Fortunately, she's happy to relocate.

This Dracaena Marginata is already the version of herself that takes years to achieve - tall, branched, with the kind of architectural presence that makes a room look deliberately designed. Native to Madagascar, she's one of the most distinctive Dracaena types available as a houseplant, and at this size, one of the most impressive. She's low-maintenance by nature, tolerant of imperfect conditions, and unbothered by the occasional missed watering.

She is not pet-friendly, so a spot out of reach of curious animals is worth planning for. But if your space works for her, she'll work hard for it.

One plant. One home.

There's one of her. Book a live video call to meet her before someone else does - you say hello, she ships exactly as you saw her.

How much light does a Dracaena Marginata need?

Dracaena Marginata thrives in medium to bright indirect light, where her red-edged leaves show their strongest color. She tolerates lower light conditions, though her canes may stretch and growth slows considerably in dim spots. Direct sun through glass can scorch her leaves, so filtered light or a position set back from a bright window suits her well.

How often should you water a Dracaena Marginata?

Dracaena Marginata should be watered when the top half of the soil has dried out, then watered thoroughly and allowed to drain completely. She's drought-tolerant and strongly dislikes sitting in wet soil - overwatering is the most common way to lose a Dragon Tree. In winter, let the soil dry even further between waterings. If your tap water is heavily fluoridated, filtered or rain water will help prevent brown leaf tips over time.

What fertilizer does a Dracaena Marginata need?

Dracaena Marginata does best with a balanced liquid fertilizer at half strength, applied every four to six weeks during spring and summer. She's a light feeder - too much fertilizer contributes to salt buildup and the leaf tip browning that Dracaena types are prone to. Feeding should stop completely in autumn and winter when her growth naturally slows.

What temperature does a Dracaena Marginata like?

Dracaena Marginata is most comfortable between 65-80°F (18-27°C) and handles typical indoor conditions well. Cold drafts and sudden temperature swings can cause leaf drop, so she's best kept away from exterior doors and air conditioning vents. She is not frost-tolerant and should always be kept indoors in cooler climates.

Does a Dracaena Marginata like humidity?

Dracaena Marginata tolerates average indoor humidity but performs better at moderate levels of around 50% or above. In dry air, brown leaf tips are her way of registering a complaint. A pebble tray or occasional misting helps in particularly dry rooms, especially during winter when indoor heating reduces humidity significantly.

How big does a Dracaena Marginata get indoors?

Indoors, Dracaena Marginata typically reaches 5-6 feet tall, with older specimens in good conditions growing taller over time. In her native Madagascar she develops into a small tree of up to 20 feet, but as a houseplant she stays well within manageable proportions. This particular Dragon Tree is already well into the upper range of that indoor height.

How fast does a Dracaena Marginata grow?

Dracaena Marginata is a slow to moderate grower indoors, gradually extending her canes and developing more branching over several years under good light. Growth slows further in lower light conditions, producing a more open, sparse appearance over time. A mature specimen like this one represents years of steady development that most buyers would otherwise be waiting for.

Is a Dracaena Marginata pet-friendly?

Dracaena Marginata is not pet-friendly and is listed as toxic to both cats and dogs by the ASPCA. In cats, ingestion can cause vomiting, drooling, dilated pupils, and lethargy. In dogs, symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea, drooling, and weakness. She's best placed in a room or on a surface that pets cannot access.

Is a Dracaena Marginata toxic to cats?

Dracaena Marginata is toxic to cats and is listed as such by the ASPCA. If a cat ingests any part of the plant, symptoms can include vomiting, drooling, dilated pupils, depression, and loss of appetite. Any suspected ingestion should be followed up with a call to your vet.

Is a Dracaena Marginata toxic to dogs?

Dracaena Marginata is toxic to dogs, with ingestion causing symptoms including vomiting (sometimes with blood), diarrhea, drooling, weakness, and loss of appetite. Dogs prone to chewing houseplants should be kept well away from her, and a vet should be contacted if ingestion occurs.

Stuff They Don't Teach You In Church
Format: Paperback
Fawn Brodie did her research and cites primarily sources from LDS sources such as journals from people who knew Joseph Smith and from Joseph Smith himself. I trust that the information is reliable. I learned more about Joseph Smith than I was ever taught in Sunday School or LDS seminary. Fawn Brodie does speculate in some areas, such as Joseph's motives but she supports her assumptions with evidence, again, from primary sources. It was a quick read for me. I did have to get out a dictionary at some places, which is rare for me. Brodie paints a picture of the Joseph Smith that very few people knew. I enjoyed reading this book. I recommend it for LDS church members who want to know the history of one of enigmatic people in history, the founder of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The book points out not just the negative aspects of Joseph's life but Brodie balances it with the positive. Unlike Charles Manson, Jim Jones, or David Koresh, Joseph Smith truly cared about his followers and treated people well. I don't like how he seduced women, however and that detracts from his character. I do think he was a con man, however.

A very accessible classic
Format: Paperback
I chose this translation on the recommendation of a good friend who is also a professor of English. I wanted something that was true to the spirit of the work and not necessarily tied to the exact meter and rhyme of the original just for the sake of maintaining both. I was not disappointed. What struck me most was the imagery of the translation. As I read, I could see the scenes and felt that I was there, experiencing the plot. This tale has many of the elements of the current popular "superhero" genre of movies. Properly done, it would make an excellent film. Read it and enjoy!

Luminous Translation
This translation of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is rich in color, full of action, written with respect for the original poetry (in a Northern dialect of Middle English that partakes heavily of Old English and Old Norse influences). The richness of the story, the surroundings (both natural and courtly), and the vivid descriptions of hunting and fighting, make this very important knightly adventure jump off the page.

Laudable Work, with One Reservation
Format: Paperback
I appreciate Mr. Winny's time and efforts to produce a "bilingual" edition of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. No stranger to the pitfalls of poetic translation, I prefer to have the original side-by-side with the modern English language rendering, as you get with this book. That way, I can quiet the academic growl in my head that remains skeptical of the inevitable poetic license the translator--by necessity--must take to adapt ancient words into modern parlance. My only complaint is that since the poem in its original is half the appeal of what this book promises, why modernize the letters? The Gawain poet's Middle English is already much more obscure to the modern reader than Chaucer's. Why not retain the yogh, the thorn, etc.? The target audience is already willing to climb the mountain, so why lop off the peak?

One of my favs
Format: Paperback
Gawain and the Green Knight is one of my favorite Arthurian Legends. This version has Middle English and Modern English translations side-by-side, which is loads of fun to follow. Let's just say this copy is well read.
