Origin
The Dracaena marginata 'Red', also known as the 'Dragon Tree', traces its origin to Madagascar and other parts of the Indian Ocean. Known for its ability to withstand rugged conditions, this versatile plant has been able to establish itself in many areas of the world.

Characteristics
The Dracaena marginata 'Red' is a houseplant known for its narrow, long, upward-pointing leaves with reddish margins. The plant can grow up to a height of 15 feet if not pruned. The trunk of the 'Red' is woody and branches into a kind of tree-like structure. The leaves of the Dracaena are green on the inside and outlined with a thin red border, leading to the 'Red' in its name.

Care
The Dracaena marginata 'Red' requires minimal maintenance. The plant needs light to moderate shade, doesn't need to be watered often, and tolerates heating air. Overwatering, however, can lead to root rot, so it's recommended to only water the plant when the topsoil is completely dry. The Dracaena marginata 'Red' requires a well-draining soil and a warm environment to thrive. Although it can withstand a wide range of conditions, this plant is sensitive to low temperatures.
