How to take care of Dracaena Marginata Tricolor

Sun: Indirect

Dracaena Marginata Tricolor thrives in medium to bright light conditions. It may tolerate lower light but will grow slower and lose some of its color vibrancy.

Light: Medium - Bright

They enjoy some direct sun, but they'll also do well in bright, indirect light. Place it where it gets a few hours of gentle morning sun or bright filtered light throughout the day.

Water: When mostly dry

Let the top 75% of the soil dry before watering. Overwatering is the most common issue, so be sure the pot has drainage and the soil isn’t constantly moist.

Humidity: Any

This plant is very adaptable to average home humidity. If your home is very dry in winter, occasional misting helps but isn’t required.

Pet Friendly: Caution

Not pet-friendly. Dracaena is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested—keep out of reach of curious pets.

Pro Tip

Fluoride in tap water can cause brown leaf tips. Use distilled or rainwater to prevent leaf burn and keep your plant looking its best.
