How to read these metrics
These metrics are standardised reference points. We compile them by reviewing and cross-checking multiple botanical and horticultural references, then refining them through real-world growing experience. Source links: Plant Care Resources.
Please use the values as guidance. Conditions vary by home, so the same plant can respond differently. For plant-specific context, read the full product description and browse our Plant Care Guides.
- Light: level + approximate lux at leaf level; DLI is the daily light “dose” for grow lights.
- Watering: “% dry” is the trigger before watering again; lower % stays more evenly moist.
- Potting mix: one-line profile (structure/drainage • moisture buffer • base • particle size).
- Temperature: “Ideal” comfort range; “Avoid below” marks higher stress risk.
- Humidity: target bands (Normal/Moist/Humid); consistency usually matters most.
- Growth habit: growth form (rosette, trailing, climbing) for placement and training.
- Support: needed/optional/none — whether stake, pole, or trellis improves structure and size.
- Growth speed: fast/average/slow under decent indoor conditions—expectations, not a promise.
- Max size indoors: realistic long-term potential; format differs for climbers vs. trailers.
- Toxicity & safety: chemical irritants/toxicity and physical hazards (spines, bristles).
- Origin & habitat: native region + typical biome/habitat as context.
Dracaena draco – The Majestic Dragon Tree
Why Choose Dracaena draco?
Dracaena draco, also known as the Dragon Tree, is a stunning, slow-growing tree native to the Canary Islands, Madeira, and North Africa. Recognized for its thick, sculptural trunk and blue-green sword-shaped leaves, this tree has been treasured for centuries for its striking silhouette and mythical red resin, known as dragon’s blood.
Key Features of Dracaena draco

- Foliage: Blue-green, stiff, sword-shaped leaves arranged in rosettes at the branch tips.

How to Care for Dracaena draco
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate direct sun. Keep in a south-facing or west-facing spot for best growth.
- Watering: Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out before watering. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
- Humidity: Adapts to normal indoor humidity, but prefers a dry, well-ventilated environment.
- Temperature: Thrives between 18-27°C. Protect from frost and sudden temperature drops.

- Fertilization: Apply a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season.
- Pruning: Minimal pruning required – remove dead or damaged leaves as needed.
Common Issues and Solutions
- Yellowing Leaves: Caused by overwatering or lack of drainage. Adjust watering habits accordingly.
- Brown Leaf Tips: Often due to low humidity or excess fluoride in tap water. Use distilled water when possible.
- Pests: Occasionally affected by spider mites and mealybugs. Treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap.
