Dracaena draco 'Compact'

The dramatic Dracaena draco 'Compact'. The most striking of the ‘Dragon Trees’ is slow growing, producing just a chunky single stem as a juvenile plant but eventually spreading out and branching out. Dense rosettes of long sword-shaped leaves in shades of blue-green with tinges of silver are around 60cm long, while the trees themselves can reach an imposing 7.5 metres in the wild. When mature and multi-branched, Dracaena draco makes for a hypnotising display of contorting stems, although its thick patterned stems are impressive all on their own. 

In S/S water when 30% of the top soil has dried out. In A/W allow top soil to dry out 50%. A good tip to remember - if your plant is getting less light then it will need less water.

Bright, indirect. Shade tolerant.

Use a houseplant fertiliser 2-3 times a year.

Repot every 3 years or alternatively replace the top 10cm of the soil with fresh house plant compost every 2 years.

See available sizes below. Please note that, due to their natural variability, specimens' height may be within 10-20% of the stated height below.

Plant is supplied in its plastic nursery pot.
