Starting as a bush or "tips" and growing tall and narrow, Dracaena marginata is a versatile plant that can fit in pretty much anywhere. Though it prefers bright indirect light to maintain the red edging on its long slender leaves, it can adapt to lower light areas, and tolerates drier conditions.

While smaller sizes of this plant make a great desktop plant or an eye-catching addition to a container arrangement with other green plants or blooming plants, larger sizes make a great floor plant ideal for almost any space.
