About this plant
Dracaena Crimson suits indoor spots with bright, indirect light for best color, tolerates medium light. Listed by the ASPCA as toxic to cats and dogs, so keep it away from pets.
Dracaena Crimson is a slender dragon tree with narrow leaves edged in deep red, a tough, colorful floor plant for bright Dubai rooms and offices.
Dracaena Crimson is a red-leaved form of the Madagascar dragon tree, Dracaena marginata, sold under names such as 'Colorama'. It grows thin, flexible woody stems topped with spiky bursts of narrow leaves striped or edged in crimson and pink, which gives it a graphic, modern outline.
In Dubai it is a dependable indoor plant. It copes with air conditioning, tolerates some missed waterings and handles the dry indoor air better than most tropical foliage. The red coloring is strongest in bright, indirect light, and it may fade in dim corners. Avoid hot direct sun through glass, which can burn the leaves, and do not overwater.
It works in living rooms, beside windows with sheer curtains, in office receptions and in modern interiors that need height without bulk. We offer it from about 120 cm to 150 cm, in a nursery pot or a designer pot.

Care guide for Dubai homes
How to keep Dracaena Crimson healthy through the Dubai year.
Light
Bright, indirect light for best color; tolerates medium light. Keep it out of harsh direct afternoon sun in summer.
Watering
Every 10–14 days indoors, when the top half of the soil is dry; less in winter. Water when the top 2 to 3 cm of soil feels dry, empty the saucer afterwards, and check the soil before you water: AC slows how fast the plant uses water.
Care notes
Soil: fast-draining indoor mix with perlite or sand. Feeding: balanced liquid feed every 4–6 weeks from March to October. Common mistake: placing it in a dim corner, where the red fades and the stems stretch. Where it works: bright living rooms, office receptions and modern interiors.
AC and air flow
Keep it at least 1 metre from AC vents. Cold air blowing straight onto the leaves dries the edges.
Cleaning the leaves
Dust settles quickly in Dubai homes. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth every few weeks so they keep taking in light.
Feeding and repotting
Feed once a month from March to October. Repot every 2 years into a pot one size up, or book a Plant Doctor visit and we do it for you.

Dracaena Crimson FAQs
How do I keep the red color strong?
Give it bright, indirect light, such as near a window with a sheer curtain. Color fades in low light.
How often should I water it?
Every 10–14 days in an air-conditioned home, once the top half of the soil is dry. It prefers to dry out between waterings.
Is Dracaena Crimson toxic to pets?
Yes. The ASPCA lists Dracaena as toxic to cats and dogs; it can cause vomiting and drooling.
Can it go outdoors in Dubai?
It is best kept indoors. A shaded balcony is possible in winter, but summer sun and heat will burn the leaves.
