Introducing the Dragon Tree, also known as Dracaena draco. The Greek word "drákaina," which means "female dragon," gave rise to the name "dracaena." This refers to the 'Draco' kind of brilliant red resin. 

The name "dragon tree" is believed to have originated from the red sap that oozes from the trunk when cut, resembling a dragon's blood. This unique characteristic has contributed to its mythical and intriguing reputation.


Hailing from Madagascar, it is also known as the Madagascar dragon tree and goes by many other common names such as dragon blood tree, corn plant, ribbon plant, Asparagus Draco, and dragon's blood plant.

The dragon tree, a tall, cylindrical tree with sword-shaped leaves, grows tall in the landscape, whereas the houseplant is shorter but has identical leaves.

This dragon tree stands tall and can grow up to 15 feet tall in its natural habitat.

If grown indoors, it can grow up to 4 feet boasting a thick cylindrical trunk adorned with stunning rosettes. These rosettes are no ordinary ones either; they are crowned with magnificent sword-shaped leaves that will make you feel like you've stepped into a mythical kingdom.

The dragon plant flowers bloom from late winter to early spring, with white flowers, which are produced in clusters on the tips of its branches. The flowers emit a strong, sweet fragrance that attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies. The blooming period is relatively short, lasting only a few weeks.

Interesting Facts

  1. The dragon tree has a thick, gnarled trunk that adds a touch of character and charm to its overall appearance.
  2. It has a long lifespan and can live for several decades, becoming a cherished part of your home.
  3. Its sap is a vibrant red color, giving it a dramatic and eye-catching appearance.
  4. The Dragon Tree is believed to bring good luck and positive energy to its surroundings, according to ancient folklore.

Propagation of the dragon tree can easily be done by stem cuttings. Simply take a cutting from the stem of the healthy plant and allow it to dry out before planting it in well-draining soil. Keep the cutting in a warm, humid environment to encourage root growth.

With its show-stopping presence, this dragon blood tree will undoubtedly add to the landscape of your lovely home. Plus, this slow-growing plant is perfect for those who want to add something truly special to their collection.   

Watering Needs 

The dragon blood tree is a succulent shrub that definitely stands out from the rest. Since it is a drought-tolerant plant, it does not need much water, but should not be overwatered or underwatered. But here's a fun fact - unlike most trees, dragon trees do not tolerate prolonged drought well. 

In fact, during the scorching summer months, it might require watering once a week to keep those arms perky and looking their best. Keep the soil moist but not saturated.

If you ever notice your dragon blood plant gradually curling towards the center, don't freak out! That just means they're thirsty and in need of some water. So, make sure to water them thoroughly when you see this happen (but be careful not to let them stand in watery soil), or else risk facing root rot - yikes! 

Stay on top of your watering game with this quirky dragon plant and watch as they continue to thrive and turn heads with their unique appearance. 

Light Requirements 

If growing indoors, place your Dracaena tree a few feet away from the south-facing window. If they don't receive enough light for a long period, their stems may grow leggy and become paler and their spines will shorten; so, make your house plant happy and give it plenty of light. 

For outdoor cultivation, the dragon tree requires a lot of light and should be grown in either full sun or part shade. New plants can get burned in the full sun as they were probably grown in a greenhouse; therefore, dragon blood tree exposure to sunlight gradually increases. If the sun is too bright and is burning your plant's leaves, consider purchasing a sunshade or moving the plant to a more shaded location.  

The dragon tree can also thrive in filtered or low-light conditions. It can also grow in areas that are partially shaded, but not in those that receive direct sunlight. The plant is vulnerable to exposure to the full sun. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

Dracaena plant favors very airy, sandy soil that drains well. Planting them in ordinary soil will result in compacted roots, stunted growth, and most likely root rot. Instead, make or buy a well-draining regular potting soil, or ideally use Soil Cactus Mix Blend 1 Gal 4 Qtour specialized potting mix that contains over 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your blood tree to thrive. 

When it comes to fertilizing your dragon blood trees, it only needs a tiny bit applied once a year in the spring growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer that has lower doses of NPK (5-10-5). No harsh chemicals here, folks - just pure, natural goodness that lasts longer and encourages nutrient absorption, so your succulent stays happy as a clam.  

So go ahead and give your Dragon's blood plant some love with a good natural fertilizer because when it comes to soil and fertilizers, through experience, we know what works best!  

Hardiness Zones & More 

When growing indoors, the Dragon Tree prefers average room temperatures ranging from 6°F to 75°F. It can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures, but it's best to avoid extreme temperature fluctuations. It is adaptable and can tolerate average indoor humidity levels. However, it appreciates a slightly higher humidity level, so misting the leaves occasionally or placing a humidifier nearby can be beneficial, especially during dry winter months.

For outdoor cultivation, the Dragon Tree is best suited for USDA hardiness zones 9 to 12, which are regions with mild winters and warm climates. The Dragon Tree can tolerate temperatures as low as 30°F for short periods but prefers temperatures above 50°F. It's important to protect it from frost and extreme temperature fluctuations, as they can damage the plant.

Final Thoughts

Overall, the Dragon Tree (Dracaena draco), is a stunning indoor plant with spiky foliage that adds a touch of exotic beauty to any space. It's known for its easy care, making it perfect for beginners. This plant thrives in bright, indirect light and can tolerate lower light conditions too. It likes average room temperatures and can handle normal indoor humidity levels. Just water it when the top inch of soil is dry, and mist the leaves occasionally for a little extra humidity.

Not eczema skin friendly
Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1), Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Since I didn’t remember which sunblock spray I had previously purchased (that was super awesome), I got this one with a few other ‘kid’ sunblock spray and stick. I had grabbed this one for a splash pad birthday party this weekend only to find out it’s messy and not eczema skin friendly. Either we got a defective bottle or it’s just the way it sprays: runny goops of sunscreen that takes awhile to dry properly (see photo). And when it dries it really does stick onto your skin as advertised (aka not breathable, pore clogging, will irritate sensitive/eczema prone skin). My youngest has eczema prone skin (that’s been flare up free for 3 years) had a severe break out on her arms after using this. And even for the sake of photo demonstration for this post my own sensitive skin got red/irritated. So does it stick-yup. Is it messy? Definitely. Easy to apply? No (your kiddos have to stay put until it dries). Did it provide sun protection? Maybe…? Sensitive skin friendly? No. Eczema skin approved? Definitely not. Recommended? Nope. We threw it away and requested a refund.

10/10 sunscreen spray
I have combination skin that can get oily throughout the day, and I was excited to try the Naked Sundays SPF 50 Golden Glow Shimmer Setting Spray because I loved the idea of having sunscreen and a setting spray in one product. The first thing I noticed was the packaging. The ombre gold to purple container looked so luxurious and intentional. The spray mist was fine and even, making it perfect to apply over my makeup with a smooth finish. I love the scent. It smells fruity and delicious, which is such a refreshing change from the typical sunscreen smell that many other sunscreen sprays have. Overall I loved this spray and it exceeded my expectations. It kept my makeup looking fresh all day long and gave my skin a beautiful, glowing finish. I would definitely recommend and I will 100% be purchasing it again!

Easy Spray Sunscreen with No Greasy Hands & No Harsh Smell
Really impressed with this sunscreen. The spray nozzle makes it incredibly easy to apply without getting my hands greasy, which is a huge plus. It feels lightweight on the skin and doesn’t leave a sticky or heavy residue. One thing I loved is that it doesn’t have that typical strong sunscreen smell, it’s much more subtle and pleasant. I’ve also worn it during workouts, and it didn’t run into my eyes or cause any stinging when I was sweating, which is rare for me. It layers well over makeup and gives a nice, subtle glow without looking greasy. Overall, it’s convenient, mess-free, and something I’ll definitely keep using for easy SPF reapplication throughout the day.

Nozzle doesn’t work on a $30 sunscreen!!
I’d give this zero stars if I could. While I imagine the glow is amazing, I wouldn’t know because the spray nozzle on this doesn’t work. Not a single spray. I’m assuming it’s clogged with glitter and I’ve tried everything unclog it but for $30, I shouldn’t need to decant or switch this into another bottle. I will end up doing that, so I can hopefully use it, but my complaint remains. It is also not eligible for returns or replacements. Cute but useless packaging.
