Dracena Kiwi Dragon Tree

Dracaena marginata ‘Kiwi’ is a very elegant dragon plant cultivar. Its striped green and ivory-colored leaves bring lushness and light to any house.The Kiwi dracena is a tropical plant in that it can’t survive cold temperatures. If ever it gets any colder than 60°F in your area (about 15-16°C), you’ll have to grow it in a pot indoors. When mature, your kiwi dracaena will need a pot that’s nearly 1 foot across (10-12 inches, or 25-30 cm). If you bought it in a nursery pot, you can upsize the pot by one size (1 inch wider) at every repotting. This should take place every 2-3 years.

Care Tips:

Light :
Some Dracaenas - like the D. Fragrans and D. Massangeana - will grow in low light, but most other varieties - like Marginatas - thrive in filtered, bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can damage the leaves, unless the plant was originally grown in direct sun.

Water :
Dracaenas have a reputation for not needing a lot of water. True, but they need a thorough soaking when the soil dries out! Remember -- all plants need water! Dracaenas planted in a six-inch pot should be watered when the soil is dry four inches below the top. Use filtered water, rainwater, or distilled water, as these plants don’t like salts or minerals. Dracaenas prefer dry soil; soggy soil promotes fungus and root rot.

Temperature:
The ideal temperatures for Dracaenas are those above 65?. Sudden coldness can damage the leaves, so keep them away from drafty doors and windows during the colder months.

Humidity:
Dracaena house plants benefit from higher humidity levels during summer, or when they’re in heated, forced-air environments.

Fertilizer:
It’s not necessary to fertilize your Dracaenas, but they benefit from you feeding them once a month during the growing season with a ¼ diluted complete liquid fertilizer or fish emulsion. You can also top-dress the plant at the start of the growing season with a rich compost.
