The Dragon Tree (Dracaena draco) is a striking and unique ornamental plant known for its dramatic, sword-shaped leaves and thick, tree-like trunk. With its exotic appearance and resilience, this plant makes an excellent addition to both indoor and outdoor spaces. Often referred to as the “Dragon Blood Tree,” it derives its name from the red sap it produces, which has been used for centuries in traditional medicine and dyes.
Jagtap Nursery, located in Magarpatta City, Pune, offers healthy and vibrant Dragon Trees that can enhance any landscape or interior design. Whether you’re looking for a stunning focal point in your garden or a conversation starter indoors, this plant is sure to impress.
Key Features:
- Distinctive Foliage: The Dragon Tree showcases long, arching, green leaves that form a rosette at the top of the trunk, creating a visually striking silhouette.
- Height: This slow-growing tree can reach heights of up to 10-20 feet outdoors, making it an impressive specimen for gardens and patios.
- Low Maintenance: Once established, the Dragon Tree is drought-tolerant and requires minimal care, making it perfect for busy homeowners or those new to gardening.
Ideal Growing Conditions:
- Light: Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. It can also tolerate partial shade but prefers full sun exposure when grown outdoors.
- Watering: Allow the top few inches of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure good drainage.
- Temperature: Prefers a warm environment, ideally between 65-80°F (18-27°C). It can tolerate cooler temperatures but should be protected from frost.
- Soil: Well-draining potting mix is essential. A mix designed for succulents and cacti works well for this plant.
