| Cultural
information: There are five different types of Dracaena
marginata on the market today. The green variety pictured above,
Tri-color, Bi- color, Colorama, and Magenta. The plants that have
color in their names are varying shades of green, white, pink to
reds. Magenta has burgundy colored foliage that may turn green if
in to low of light. "Dragon Trees" are available from
small starter plants to twenty foot plus specimens. They are grown
in several variations such as Staggered plants, Exotic shape,
Branched, tips or bush and tree form.
Check for watering weekly...
allowing the soil to dry to the touch about 1/3 down the pot.
Yellowing leaves can be an indication of over watering, under
watering or simply just normal leaf drop.. Under watered plants
will shed a large amount of totally yellow leaves from the lower
portion of the head, whereas a plant that has been over-watered,
the leaf will yellow from the tip towards the stem. Feed only once
a year... the Dracaena family does not like to be
fertilized.
