We love this plant for its gorgeous and unusual shape! Dracaena Margarita Dragon Tree is an unusual shape with multiple stems and so many leaves they almost look like palms. These are tough, drought-tolerant plants with aggressive root systems that make excellent houseplants. Dracena plants are not very good at coping with wet conditions and really hate sitting in saturated soil and they do need enough room for their roots to spread out, so need to be placed in a large pot. If the roots do not have enough room the wonderful variegation may not be seen. The Dracena also likes bright, filtered light, which makes it a great indoor plant! The more light the plant receives, the better the variegation of the foliage there will be. However, keep out of direct sunlight. Too little or too much light will result in leaf drop. If you’re really careful and give this plant the care it needs then you may be rewarded with Dracena flowers! Dracena makes a fantastic indoor plant gift.
