About this plant
The dragon tree (Dracaena draco) comes from the Canary Islands and nearby Atlantic islands. It grows a thick, gray trunk topped with dense rosettes of stiff, sword-shaped blue-green leaves, and with age it branches into a broad, umbrella-like crown. It grows slowly, so young plants keep a compact, sculptural shape for years.
It is one of the few dracaenas that genuinely suits Dubai outdoors. It handles heat, dry air and full sun once established, and it needs little water. Young potted plants can scorch in a sudden move into full summer sun, so introduce them gradually. Indoors it needs the brightest spot you have, close to a sunny window, or it becomes weak. Heavy, wet soil is its main enemy.
It works in gravel gardens, villa entrances, terraces, pool areas and bright living rooms. We offer it at about 80 cm and 120 cm, sizes that suit a large pot or a feature spot in the ground.

Care Guide for Dubai Homes
How to keep Dracaena Dragon Tree healthy through the Dubai year.
Light
Full sun to bright light; very bright window spot indoors. Keep it out of harsh direct afternoon sun in summer.
Watering
Outdoors every 7–10 days in summer once established, every 3 weeks in winter; indoors every 2–3 weeks. 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: sandy, fast-draining cactus or palm mix. Feeding: light cactus or palm feed two or three times between March and September. Common mistake: watering it like a leafy houseplant, which rots the trunk base. Where it works: gravel gardens, villa entrances, terraces and very bright living rooms.
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 Dragon Tree FAQs
Can a dragon tree grow outdoors in Dubai?

How often should I water it in summer?
Outdoors about every 7–10 days once established, and less in winter. Let the soil dry well between waterings.
Is the dragon tree toxic to pets?
The ASPCA lists Dracaena species as toxic to cats and dogs because of saponins.
How big does it get?
It grows slowly, often only a few centimeters a year, and becomes a branched tree several meters tall only after many years.
