Origin
The Dracaena marginata 'Bicolor', also known as the Madagascar Dragon Tree, is originally from Madagascar and other islands in the Indian Ocean. The climate in these areas is both tropical and subtropical. This specific plant species is a member of the Asparagaceae family.

Characteristics
The Dracaena marginata 'Bicolor' is a striking houseplant with long, thin stems and narrow, pointed leaves which are pink or red at the edges. This plant can reach a height of 15 feet, although this is seldom seen in domestic conditions. The leaves can grow up to 2 feet long. Another characteristic of this species is the distinctive stem, which hardens into a trunk as the plant grows older.

Care
The Dracaena marginata 'Bicolor' thrives best in indirect sunlight and room temperature. Over-watering and stagnant water should be avoided as this can cause root rot. The plant prefers slightly acidic to neutral pH values and requires well-draining soil. It is recommended to repot the plant every two to three years, depending on the growth.
