About Dracaena Tricolor
Dracaena Tricolor, a variety of Dracaena marginata (dragon tree), features thin, arching leaves striped in green, cream, and red along the margins. Native to East Africa, it's a tough, drought-tolerant plant that has long been popular for homes and offices thanks to its low light and water needs.
Growing Conditions
- Light: Relatively bright light; tolerates lower light but colours are best when bright.
- Soil: Loose, well-drained potting mix.
- Humidity: Adapts well to normal indoor humidity.
Placement
Works well on balconies, in living rooms, or office corners with reasonably bright, indirect light.
Care
- Watering: Allow soil to dry between waterings, but not completely; this plant is prone to root rot if overwatered.
- Fertilizer: Light feeding, once at the start of spring or twice a year with a controlled-release fertilizer.
- Repotting: Every 2-3 years — it grows slowly and doesn't need frequent repotting.
- Pruning: Trim as needed to control height; new growth sprouts near the cut.
This listing ships a young potted plant. Growth rate and mature size vary by light, care, and environment. Important: Dracaena is genuinely toxic to cats and dogs — ingestion can cause vomiting, drooling, and dilated pupils in cats. Keep well out of reach of pets. It's also sensitive to fluoride, so water with non-fluoridated water where possible.

FAQs
FAQs
Is Dracaena Tricolor toxic to pets?
Yes — it's genuinely toxic to cats and dogs and can cause vomiting, drooling, and dilated pupils in cats if eaten. Keep well out of reach.
How much water does it need?
Let it dry out between waterings but not completely — it's more prone to root rot than to underwatering.
Can I use tap water?
Dracaena is sensitive to fluoride, which can cause brown leaf tips. Non-fluoridated or filtered water is best where possible.
