Dracaena Marginata Magenta

Dracaena marginata 'Magenta'

dracaena marginata magenta

Also known as: Magenta Dragon Tree, Madagascar Dragon Tree, Red Edge Dracaena

Native to Madagascar, Dracaena Magenta is the bold, dramatic member of the Dragon Tree family. Its long, slender leaves are deep green with rich magenta-red edges that run the full length of every leaf — a striking two-tone contrast that gets more intense with more light. Slim, tall, and effortlessly elegant, it develops a beautiful sculptural shape over time as its slender canes branch out naturally. One of the most architectural and low-maintenance indoor plants you can grow. Note that this plant is toxic to pets if ingested.

plant tips

water
Allow the soil to dry out 25–30% between waterings. Water less in cooler months and use filtered or tap water left out overnight.
light
Thrives in bright to medium indirect light. More light means more vivid pink coloring — avoid direct sun which can scorch the leaves.
zone
Houseplant.
size
Grows 4–6 ft. tall indoors.

care

Place in a warm, bright spot away from cold drafts and air conditioning vents. Water when the soil is partially dry and wipe leaves occasionally to keep them looking their best. Feed monthly with a balanced liquid fertilizer during spring and summer and skip in winter when growth naturally slows. Trim as needed to control height and shape — Magenta responds beautifully to pruning and keeps its bold color year-round.
