Dracaena marginata Bicolour & Info Guide
Horty Hints
Stop the Drop! As this plant grows, older leaves will naturally fall off. If you notice rapid leaf-loss, check that the plant has not been overwatered or is too shaded.
Out with the old! If your plant outgrows its space or becomes too tall, chop the top off. As brutal as this is, new fuller growth will return. Only do this to a healthy plant in spring.
Feeling the Chill! These warm climate plants are susceptible to temperatures of 12°C or lower. Leaves will curl and can dry-up and die.
Light
Dracaena marginata needs moderate to bright, indirect light. Can cope in light shade but keep away from direct sunlight as this may burn or bleach the leaves.
Watering
Water when the soil starts to dry-out at the top. Water well and allow to drain thoroughly. Relatively drought tolerant. Do not overwater as this will cause the leaf tips to blacken.
