🌿 Dracaena draco (Dragon Tree)

Botanical Name: Dracaena draco
Common Name: Dragon Tree

Description:
The Dracaena draco, commonly known as the Dragon Tree, is a striking architectural plant known for its thick, sculptural trunk and sword-shaped grey-green leaves that grow in a rosette pattern. Over time, it develops a dramatic umbrella-like canopy, making it an exceptional statement piece indoors or in gardens.

Native to the Canary Islands, Cape Verde, and Madeira, this slow-growing evergreen is a true survivor — hardy, drought-tolerant, and long-lived. Its name comes from the red resin (“dragon’s blood”) it produces when cut, historically valued for medicinal and dyeing purposes.

Plant Features:
🌱 Distinct, sculptural appearance — perfect for modern interiors and landscapes
☀️ Thrives in bright, indirect light to full sun
💧 Requires minimal watering — let the soil dry out between waterings
🏡 Ideal for both indoor and outdoor display
🌬️ Naturally purifies the air

Care Tips:

• Light: Prefers bright light, can tolerate partial shade.

• Water: Water sparingly; avoid waterlogging.

• Soil: Well-draining mix (cactus or succulent soil works best).

• Fertilizer: Feed once a month during the growing season (spring–summer).

Symbolism:
Often associated with strength, endurance, and protection, the Dragon Tree adds an exotic yet timeless charm wherever it grows.
