Dracaena draco, commonly known as the Dragon Tree, is a slow-growing, tree-like houseplant with striking sword-shaped leaves that form dense rosettes. Native to the Canary Islands, this monocot belongs to the Asparagaceae family and is prized for its architectural form and low maintenance requirements.
Water: Low · Height: 300 cm · Soil: Well-draining soil; tolerates poor soil conditions
Dragon Tree is usually grown from cuttings rather than seed. Take a healthy stem cutting, remove the lower leaves, and root it in moist, free-draining compost.
