Gold Star Madagascar Dragon Tree - Dracaena - 6" Pot

Dracaena is a genus of forty species of subtropical, evergreen, woody plants grown for their statuesque form and ornamental foliage. They are sometimes mistakenly identified as palms but are actually more closely related to lilies. The name Dracaena is derived from the Greek word “drakaina”, a female dragon. The link between plant and beast is the resinous red gum produced when the stem is cut which, when thickened, is supposed to resemble dragon’s blood. It is used as a varnish and in photo engraving. An easy to grow house plant. Provide bright, indirect light and keep evenly moist, not wet or dry. Trim as needed. Native of western tropical Africa rainforest region. Bamboo-like cane stems.
