SUN

The Dracaena Marginata prefers medium to bright, indirect light, though it can tolerate lower light levels. Placement at the interior of a room or light filtered through blinds will avoid leaf burn caused by direct sunlight. 

WATER

Water generously once the top 50%-75% of the soil has dried. They can handle occasional dry conditions but grow best under consistent care. Reduce frequency during fall and winter. 

AIR 

Average indoor air tends to work well for the Dracaena, though these come from subtropical regions and will thrive under their natural conditions. Maintain temperatures between 70º-85º and extra humidity. You can provide a regular boost of humidity by:


  • Misting the leaves 2-4x per week with non-tap water
  • Adding a humidifier nearby
  • Creating a pebble tray that lives underneath the pot
  • Placement in a bathroom or kitchen, if lighting is suitable

PET FRIENDLY

Keep out of reach from curious pets. These are toxic when ingested.

AESTHETIC

Native to subtropical Madagascar, the Dracaena Marginata grows upright on tall, asymmetrical branches with sturdy and narrow, sword-like leaves. Their name is derived from the Greek word for “female dragon” due to the red border along the leaves and red-colored sap emitted by the plant when injured. A white stripe runs through the middle of each leaf, creating a beautiful tricolor masterpiece. Under proper care indoors, these can grow up to 6-10 feet tall in their lifetime.

HEALTH BENEFITS

Active exposure to and care for plants has many proven wellbeing benefits, such as: 


  • Lower stress levels
  • Improved mood
  • Superior mental clarity and focus

Dracaena Marginatas are fantastic air purifiers, producing oxygen while absorbing the most common indoor toxins and carbon dioxide through the leaves and soil.  

SPIRITUAL INTERPRETATIONS

Dracaena Marginatas carry the symbol of good fortune and happiness. It becomes an emblem of positive energy in any dedicated space such as the dining room or office. According to ancient Feng Shui practices, intentional placement at the center of your home attracts this energy towards health and overall wellbeing.

OUR RECS

We recommend a ceramic or clay planter with a drainage hole to provide ideal moisture balance for the Dracaena. When repotting, keep it in a planter of the same size or no more than 2 inches larger.  


Ideal soil is a well-draining mix with aerating and moisture-retaining amendments such as perlite, sand, and vermiculite.


Nature is unique - each plant may vary slightly from the plant shown here. Ceramic planters are sold separately.

Feel the burn - not!
Color: White, Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: Baby
This is by far a more natural choice for UV protection. Sure, your tattoos might take on a slightly bluish tint beneath a layer of zinc oxide, but guess what? Your ink isn’t getting destroyed by the sun. Another great thing — this spray doesn’t contain all those hard-to-pronounce, questionable chemicals you see in a lot of other products. Instead, it relies on mineral zinc oxide, a safe and effective ingredient. Safe enough? Realize that zinc is recognized as part of the US Recommended Dietary Allowance. With that, I think you can trust it to protect your skin. Oh, and your kid's skin too.

Amazing Sunscreen! Large Bottle and Pump is Great!
Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Sport Lotion SPF 50, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Sport Lotion SPF 50
I’ve been buying this Banana Boat sunscreen with SPF50 for a while and I wish I found it years ago because it makes putting on sunscreen so easy. Been buying it for family members as well! The pump is amazing—I keep one in my bathroom and one in my bedroom so I never forget. It’s a really big bottle so it lasts a long time, and it spreads super easily with no white cast at all, even on my face. The scent is really light and neutral too, which I love. It just melts into your skin, doesn’t feel sticky, and works for everything—face, hands, arms, legs. It’s one of those products you actually end up using every day because it’s so easy and convenient. I keep repurchasing it for a reason! Highly recommend!

My AmazonFinds/ SPF 50 Sunscreen
Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Sport Lotion SPF 50, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Sport Lotion SPF 50
I’ve been using this Banana Boat Sport SPF 50 sunscreen and I really like it. It goes on smoothly and absorbs quickly without feeling too greasy or heavy on the skin. I also like that it’s water and sweat resistant, which makes it perfect for outdoor activities or beach days. It provides strong sun protection and I feel confident using it when I’m out in the sun for long periods. The scent is light and not overpowering. Overall, it’s a reliable sunscreen that I would definitely buy again.
