Description

You'll love the warmth that Dracaena Marginata 'Red Dragon' brings into your home. Those beautiful arching leaves with stunning red edges create the perfect pop of color, while growing at just the right pace, so you don’t feel overwhelmed.


Also known as the Madagascar Dragon Tree, the adaptable plant can handle your busy lifestyle beautifully. It handles irregular watering like a champ and adapts to various light conditions beautifully, developing into a statement-making tree that will impress any guests. 


Care 

Should a Dragon Tree be inside or outside? 

Your Dracaena Marginata 'Red Dragon' is definitely an indoor plant at heart! It loves the controlled temperatures of your home over the unpredictable outdoor world. That said, it enjoys brief summer vacations outside when temperatures stay above 59°F (15°C).


Just keep it in a protected spot away from direct midday sun, and bring it back inside before temperatures drop. Think of it as your plant companion who occasionally enjoys a gentle outdoor adventure but always wants to come home to you!


How do you care for the Dracaena Marginata ‘Red Dragon’ indoors?

To give your red-edged Dracaena the best possible life indoors, place it in bright, indirect light where it can show off those gorgeous leaves. Water it when the top half feels dry, and it'll reward you beautifully.


Plant in well-draining soil with some peat moss mixed in - nothing fancy needed. It's comfortable with normal home humidity but appreciates the occasional mist, especially if your home runs dry. Keep temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C) and avoid cold drafts. 


How often should I water my Dracaena Marginata ‘Red Dragon’?

Water your Dracaena Marginata every 2-3 weeks, letting the top half of soil dry completely between waterings. During spring and summer growing season, it might appreciate slightly more frequent drinks, while winter definitely calls for extra patience.


How much light does a Dragon Tree need?

Your Dracaena Marginata 'Red Dragon' thrives in bright, indirect light to really show off those stunning red edges. Think gentle, dappled sunshine or a few feet back from a bright window - the perfect lighting for admiring its beauty.


While it'll tolerate partial shade (it's accommodating like that), too little light means slower growth and less vibrant color in those signature red margins. East-facing windows are ideal, but it adapts to most lighting situations like the easygoing companion it is.


Where is the best place to put a Dracaena Marginata ‘Red Dragon’?

Your Dracaena Marginata 'Red Dragon' will be happiest in a spot with bright, indirect light - think east-facing windows or anywhere with gentle, filtered sunshine. It wants to showcase those beautiful red edges without getting harsh, damaging sunburn exposure.


Keep it away from direct harsh sun and cold drafts (it appreciates consistency just like we do!). Whether it's adding life to your living room or bringing natural beauty to your office, it'll thrive as long as it can avoid extreme temperature changes.


Can Dracaena Marginata ‘Red Dragon’ get too much sun?

Yes, your Dracaena Marginata 'Red Dragon' can definitely get too much sun! Those beautiful leaves will develop unsightly brown tips or fade significantly if exposed to harsh direct sunlight - relocate to a much gentler, safer spot right away.


Should you mist a Dragon Tree?

Misting your Dracaena Marginata 'Red Dragon' is like offering it a refreshing tropical treat. While not absolutely necessary with average home humidity, an occasional gentle mist helps it feel perfectly right at home in its own little Madagascar paradise.


Think of it as a gentle spa treatment rather than essential care - it appreciates the gesture in dry environments or during winter when heating systems dry out the air. For extra humidity benefits, group it with other plants or place on a pebble tray with water.


Can Dracaena Marginata ‘Red Dragon’ survive in low-light conditions?

Your Dracaena Marginata will absolutely survive in low-light conditions, maintaining its beautiful form even when the spotlight isn't directly on it. While it grows faster and develops more vibrant red edges in brighter spots, it'll still thrive in shadier corners.


Growth might slow down and colors may be slightly less intense, but it'll keep that striking architectural beauty that made you fall in love with it in the first place.


What is the best fertilizer for Dracaena Marginata Red Dragon?

Your Dracaena Marginata 'Red Dragon' thrives with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer like 10-10-10 during spring and summer growing season. Always dilute to half strength and feed every two weeks to avoid overwhelming those beautiful roots with excess nutrients.


In autumn and winter, reduce feeding to once a month or stop altogether since growth naturally slows down. We love how forgiving this plant is - even if you forget to fertilize occasionally, it won't hold it against you!


How do I know which of the Dracaena types I have?

You can identify your Dracaena Marginata 'Red Dragon' by looking for those distinctive long, narrow leaves with gorgeous red or burgundy edges along the margins. The woody stem and sword-like leaf shape are classic Marginata characteristics that set it apart.


Other Dracaena varieties have different patterns - 'Colorama' shows pink, white, and green stripes, while 'Tricolor' displays green, yellow, and red bands. If your plant has solid green leaves with just those beautiful red edges, you've got the classic Red Dragon variety!


Do you water the Dracaena Marginata ‘Red Dragon’ from the top or the bottom?

Top watering works best for your Dracaena Marginata 'Red Dragon' because it helps flush out salt buildup that these plants are particularly sensitive to. Pour water slowly and steadily until it drains freely from the bottom drainage holes.


Always empty the saucer after watering to prevent those roots from sitting in standing water. If possible, use distilled or rainwater to avoid fluoride buildup, which can cause brown leaf tips. Your plant will thank you for this extra care!



Is Dracaena Marginata ‘Red Dragon’ high maintenance?

Your Dracaena Marginata 'Red Dragon' is wonderfully low-maintenance as well as forgiving, making it perfect for busy plant parents. It can handle irregular watering beautifully and it adapts to various light conditions with minimal fuss and care requirements.


We love recommending this plant to beginners because it's so resilient and understanding. It won't sulk if you forget to water it for a week or two, and it adapts to different lighting situations like the easygoing companion it is.


Pet-friendly?

The Dracaena Marginata 'Red Dragon' isn't safe for your furry family members. It contains compounds called saponins that are mildly to moderately toxic when eaten.

Is the Dracaena Marginata safe for dogs?

Unfortunately, your Dracaena Marginata 'Red Dragon' and your canine companion aren't the best match. If your curious dog decides to nibble those striking leaves, they might experience vomiting, diarrhea, drooling, or weakness - not the kind of excitement anyone wants.


Symptoms are usually mild unless your pup really goes to town on the plant, but it's best to keep this beauty out of reach. If you catch your dog sampling, it's worth calling the vet just to be safe. We recommend creating a safe boundary between your dog and this stunning plant.


Is the Dracaena Marginata poisonous to cats?

Your feline friend and this beautiful Dracaena Marginata 'Red Dragon' need some clear boundaries! If your cat becomes a plant nibbler, watch for vomiting, drooling, loss of appetite, dilated pupils, and lethargy— head to the vet. 


Factoids

What are the different types of Dragon Tree? 

The Dracaena Marginata family is like a wonderful plant collection, each member with their own special character! The 'Colorama' variety shows off with pink, white, and green striped leaves, while 'Magenta' displays green leaves with show-stopping magenta-red edges.


For something more substantial, 'Tarzan' brings wider, sturdier leaves to your space. The 'Tricolor' is particularly special, sporting green leaves with white and pink bands. Beyond the Dracaena Marginata varieties, you'll find cousins like the Canary Islands dragon tree - the extended family is just as wonderful.


How does the Dracaena Marginata ‘Red Dragon’ get its name?

The name comes from the Greek word 'drakaina' meaning 'female dragon,' while 'marginata' refers to those beautiful distinctive leaf margins. The 'Red Dragon' variety gets its name from those striking red edges and overall mythical, dragon-like appearance.


Historically, some Dracaena species produce a red resin called "dragon's blood" that was used for dyes and medicines. The combination of the exotic, almost mystical look and those fiery red leaf edges makes the dragon connection feel perfectly natural!


Does a Dracaena plant purify air? 

Your Dracaena Marginata isn't just beautiful - it's working quietly behind the scenes as part of your clean-air team! NASA's Clean Air Study found these plants help remove indoor toxins like formaldehyde, benzene, and xylene from your air.


Don't expect miracle-level purification from just one plant, though. The real-world effect is modest unless you're creating your own indoor jungle (which honestly sounds delightful!). Think of air purification as a wonderful bonus feature rather than its main job - it's already stunning enough just being itself!


Do Dracaena like bathrooms? 

Your Dracaena Marginata 'Red Dragon' absolutely loves spa-like bathroom conditions! Bathrooms with decent indirect light are like luxury retreats for these humidity-loving plants. They'll soak up all that shower steam like you’ve booked them in for a five-star treatment.


What is the life span of a Dracaena plant?

Your Dracaena Marginata 'Red Dragon' is in this for the long haul. These plants typically live 5-15 years indoors, but with loving care, they can stick around even longer, like that wonderful friend who's always there when you need them.


How long does it take a Dragon Tree to fully grow? 

Your Dracaena Marginata 'Red Dragon' isn't rushing anywhere; it's taking the scenic route through life! These slow-growing beauties take their sweet time, needing about 8-10 years to reach their full indoor height of around 6 feet (1.8 meters).

A wonderfully refreshing argument for "the living constitution". Most surprisingly is that much of the argument is based in the philosophy of Edmund Burke, father of modern conservatism.

Ultimately disappointing .. but still a good read
Format: Hardcover
This book does have a few commendable features. It is written in laymen's language, you don't have to be a constitutional law scholar like David A. Strauss to comprehend the arguments. And it's short. Won't take more than a couple of hours to read. But as a critique of the "originalist" constitutional doctrine, it is hit and miss. For example, Strauss argues that originalism has three major flaws (p.18): 1) the impossibility of determining what the understanding of the founding fathers was on a particular issue. 2) the impossibility of translating an original understanding so that it addresses today's problems. 3) no answer for Thomas Jefferson's question about why we, the living, should be governed by the "dead hand" of past generations, including the founders. Of these three, the first is the most telling, because it is indeed sometimes the case that we do not know what the founders would have thought about a particular issue, because that issue simply did not exist at the time of the enactment of the constitution or a particular amendment, or because that original meaning could be lost to history. The patent-ability of new life forms as a result of genetic engineering being a good example (but, other technological examples, like cases related to airplanes and cars, are NOT good examples, since while the founders were unaware of these technological advances, it's safe to assume they would recognize them as transportation vehicles, so their understanding of ships and horse carriages would apply to them). That's why i am what Strauss might call a "sometimes originalist" - my view is that IF there is no reasonable doubt about what the enactors of a constitutional provision would have thought about a case, then that should control the decision a court arrives at. But obviously, if the issue was unknown to the enactors, or if their views are forever lost to us due to the passage of time, then there is no "original understanding" of that particular issue, and some other method of constitutional interpretation must be relied on. The second and third objections are far less compelling to me. The second objection is IMO a non-issue. To ask "well, we know that in 1880 the enactors of the 14th amendment did not believe its equal protection clause outlawed employment discrimination against women, but would they believe that if they were living in the year 2000, with all the economic/cultural/technological changes that have developed over those 120 years?" is an irrelevant question. It's like asking if the 1969 Congress that enacted the Clean Air Act would still enact it if that Congress were to debate the issue in 2010: it's purely speculative and ungermane, since neither statutes nor constitutional provisions have expiration dates on them. Likewise, the 3rd objection is both shallow and disingenuous. Shallow because Jefferson clearly understood that the constitution, like laws enacted by the legislature, are subject to change by later generations, who can amend the constitution or pass new legislation to supersede what previous generations have accomplished. Disingenuous, because the invocation of Jefferson seems to be a tactical decision by Strauss, a way to tweak originalists by citing one of the very greatest of our founding fathers. Yet Jefferson can also be quoted to support an originalist view. For example, in 1801 he said: "The Constitution on which our union rests, shall be administered by me according to the safe and honest meaning contemplated by the plain understanding of the people of the United States, at the time of its adoption....These explanations are preserved in the publications of the time, and are too recent in the memories of most men to admit of question." (Writings of Thomas Jefferson, quoted from a letter dated 3/27/1801). The first part of this quote clearly indicates that Jefferson believed that constitutional provisions should be interpreted according to original understanding, not "modern, evolved" standards of meaning as David Strauss would contend. The second part speaks to the need i identified before, that of knowing within the bounds of reasonable doubt what the enactors understood a provision to mean. Beyond all this, though, is David Strauss's contention that a "living constitution", as defined by a common-law like accretion of judicial precedent in constitutional matters that leave the original meaning of the text behind, is necessary because otherwise our constitution would become an archaic relic unable to meet the demands of a changing society, and that the formal amendment process is too slow and cumbersome. Professor Strauss correctly notes that Jefferson believed that our institutions must evolve with the development of society; however, he crucially fails to note that to Jefferson, the primary mechanism of such innovation was to be the actions of the legislature. Constitutional provisions are expounded in broad, general language not to enable future judges to interpret them in light of changing societal conditions, but to permit elected bodies, like legislatures and congress, wide latitude to address the problems of today. Legislative bodies, which directly reflect the ebbs and flows of societal change and are accountable to the people, were Jefferson's preferred vehicle of constitutional innovation, not the decisions of insulated, life-tenured court judges. On this point, unlike on many others, Jefferson was in agreement with John Marshall. As Jean Edward Smith (1996) writes "When (in McCulloch v. Maryland) Marshall spoke of the Constitution as "intended for ages to come" and of the need to adapt it "to the various crises of human affairs", he was alluding to the responsibility of Congress, not the Court. And the limits on Congress were defined by the political process, not the judiciary" (p. 445). Thus, for example, while the enactors of the 14th amendment did not intend for it to ban employment discrimination against women, it also was not intended to prevent Congress or the state legislatures, at the time of the enactment or in the future, from enacting legislation that does protect women from employment discrimination should that type of legislation be deemed necessary or advisable. Jefferson was far more wary of "innovative" actions by judges, exemplified by his belief that "if federal judges have the final word over its meaning, the Constitution would be a mere thing of wax in the hands of the judiciary, which they may twist and shape into any form they please". Yet it is exactly this type of judicial activism that Strauss means when advocates a "living constitution". Strauss's fundamental error is revealed on page 103 when he says that "We cannot say that the text of the constitution does not matter ... no (textual) provision of the constitution can be overruled in the way a precedent can, or disregarded the way original understandings often are". What Strauss is saying here (well, he wouldn't put it this way, but this is my view of the matter) is that when a judge wants to be activist, to impose his/her personal policy preferences on a case, it's very important that the judge somehow, through clever verbal gymnastics, no matter how convoluted, "ground" that ruling in some actual constitutional-textual language. This is very important for achieving the political purpose of maintaining respect for the court in the eyes of the public. But to me, Strauss creates a false dichotomy: The text of the constitution is ONE AND THE SAME with its "original understanding". The 'text', the actual words of the constitution, does not exist independent of the original understanding of those words, the text is merely the communicative vessel used to convey that original understanding. That's the way language works. It's a method to convey meaning. Thus, to invoke the Due Process Clause of the 5th amendment to outlaw Federal segregation laws (as the Court did in 1955) when the enactors of the 5th amendment clearly (as Strauss admits) did not intend for it to mean that, is the SAME THING as ignoring the "text" of the constitution, since the text and original understanding are one and the same. Overall, i recommend this book. One will learn alot about constitutional history, and Professor Strauss is surely correct in that the "living constitution" view is in fact the dominant way in which the Court has gone about its business in practice, regardless of what legal theoreticians have thought. But, don't expect to be convinced by much Professor Strauss has to say about why this is a good thing.

Originalist v Living Document , 5 - 4
Format: Hardcover
I found the author's arguments to be logical and compelling. Those who embrace the so-called originalist view of the Constitution, for example Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, claim that they know - with great certainty - the absolute intent of the Constitution's authors. Further they claim that the Constitution provides specifics and principles which of course it does. It is simple to understand the specifics, but what about the principles? Principles, it seems to me, can and do have differing interpretations. One of the definitions of the word principle found in Merriam-Webster states, "a moral rule or belief that helps you know what is right and wrong and that influences your actions." As we all know, rules and beliefs frequently mean different things to different people. If it were not so, Supreme Court decisions would inevitably be decided 9 - 0. Many are familiar with the Supreme Court's case District of Columbia v. Heller in which Justice Scalia opined that the Second Amendment shouldn't stop the U.S. from barring certain weapons. While his opinion certainly seems reasonable to me, I cannot find that principle in the Constitution. Rather it seems to be a logical conclusion based on modern society, mores, and laws - perhaps, as Professor Strauss argues, Common Law. Whether one accepts the originalist view of the Constitution or, as I, believes a living interpretation of the great document is preferable, the one thing we can all agree on is that our nation is one of laws. To that end, it is incumbent on all citizens to accept and abide by the pronouncements of our judges, agree with them or not.
