Dracaena draco is a bold and dramatic indoor plant known for its long, sword-shaped green leaves with subtle burgundy hues in younger foliage. This striking tree-like species brings an architectural and sculptural flair to indoor spaces. Its upright form and textured foliage create a commanding silhouette, perfect for modern interiors and statement plant displays.

This plant thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers well-draining soil that is allowed to dry out slightly between waterings. It tolerates average indoor temperatures and humidity but benefits from occasional misting or a humidifier to maintain vibrant growth.

Dracaena draco is generally considered non-toxic to pets but should still be kept out of reach as ingestion can cause mild digestive upset.
