Origin
The Dracaena fragrans Cintho is a green houseplant originally from Africa, specifically from the subtropical regions of this continent. This plant species is part of the Asparagaceae family and is also known as the 'Dragon Tree'. The increasing popularity of the Dracaena fragrans Cintho in interior decoration is largely due to its African origin, giving it a unique, exotic appeal.

Characteristics
The Dracaena fragrans Cintho is characterised by its striking leaves. These leaves are long, narrow, rich in green shades, and have a slight sheen. The trunks of this plant are sturdy and thick, giving the plant a strong and robust presence. An adult Dracaena fragrans Cintho can reach a height of several metres, although this growth is usually limited in an indoor environment.

Though it can withstand heat, the Dracaena fragrans Cintho thrives best at room temperatures around twenty degrees.
