The Dracaena marginata is a green indoor plant that brings a touch of the tropics to your home. Resembling somewhat a palm tree, with a sturdy trunk and long, slender leaves, it's an ideal choice for those with less green thumbs. Originally found in Africa, the Dracaena sometimes appears in tropical regions as well, mainly in higher altitudes, where it can reach heights of up to 14 meters! In its trunk, the Dracaena stores water and nutrients as reserves, in case it needs them later, enabling the plant to go for quite some time without water!
The Dracaena is also known as the dragon's blood tree because of the red resin that leaks from the trunk when it's cut. There are numerous legends surrounding this plant, including one claiming it originated during a battle between an elephant and a dragon. The branching of this tree is often associated with the multiple heads of a dragon.
