About this plant
Dracaena Marginata Bicolor suits indoor spots with bright, indirect light, tolerates medium light. Listed by the ASPCA as toxic to cats and dogs, so keep it away from pets.
Dracaena Marginata Bicolor is a tall dragon tree with narrow leaves striped green and pinkish red, a tough, graphic floor plant for bright Dubai interiors.
Dracaena Marginata Bicolor is a striped form of the Madagascar dragon tree (Dracaena marginata 'Bicolor'). Its slender, branching woody stems carry starbursts of thin leaves striped in green and cream with pinkish red edges, giving a softer color than the plain green form. Larger plants are often multi-stemmed and branched.
In Dubai it is a hardy indoor plant. It tolerates air conditioning, dry indoor air and moderate light, and it does not need frequent watering. The stripes stay clearest in bright, indirect light. Overwatering and hot direct sun through glass are the two things to avoid. It is not a plant for outdoor Dubai summers.
It works as a tall statement plant in living rooms, villa entrances, hotel lobbies and office receptions with good daylight. We offer it at about 140 cm and 180 cm, in a nursery pot or a designer pot.

Care guide for Dubai homes
How to keep Dracaena Marginata Bicolor healthy through the Dubai year.
Light
Bright, indirect light; 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: keeping the large pot too wet, which rots the roots. Where it works: living rooms, villa entrances, lobbies and receptions with good daylight.
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.
