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.

Excellent product.
Style: Standard Grip, Size: 50ft, Color: Chartreuse
I've dealt with many different brands of hoses, took into account quality and price. After many disappointing purchases I can finally say "I got the right one this time". It is exactly as advertised, lightweight, flexible and very easy to handle. You won't go wrong with Flexzilla garden hose!!!

There is no substitute to Flexzilla Hose
Style: Standard Grip, Size: 100ft, Color: Chartreuse, Style: Standard Grip, Size: 100ft, Color: Chartreuse
I absolutely love this hose! I purchased roughly 300 feet last year for use in my garden. It's extremely light and durable when you are dragging it around. For the most part it is kink free. If there does happen to be a kink down the line, a quick tug fixes the problem. No leaks, no shrinkage. Easy to install on any hydrant. DEFINITELY compact compared to other heavy hoses. The best part, it's super easy to coil it back up and hang in the tool shed. So I ordered a couple more 100 footers. I will definitely buy more.

PVC hose with high PHTHALATES, quickly develops black MOLD
Style: Standard Grip, Size: 3ft, Color: Chartreuse, Style: Standard Grip, Size: 3ft, Color: Chartreuse
TL, DNR ; PVC hose from Taiwan with a high level of toxic phthalates ; invaded by ineradicable sticky black mold in a few months ; the aluminum fitting can fuse to brass spigots by corrosion ; an unfriendly warranty, utterly distrustful of their customers. UPDATE. By early 2026 none of the health risks associated with this hose have decreased and remain a matter of high concern, particularly under the light of medical studies of phthalate toxicity. __ These are garden hoses produced by a company in Taiwan, which was listed in the past as a buyer of recycled plastic scrap. They are sourced by the marketer Weems Industries Inc. (IA), also doing business as Legacy Manufacturing Co., and sold under its Flexzilla brand. MATERIAL. The hyped "hybrid polymer" of Flexzilla hoses is just a plasticized polyvinyl chloride [PVC] compound. The hose consists of three layers. As described below, the analysis of a Flexzilla hose by a third-party professional lab discovered a high concentration of phthalate esters in all layers. Phthalates are toxic chemical additives widely used to make PVC flexible, and the lab finding indicates large amounts of PVC, even in the innermost layer touted as safe for water drinking. WATER SAFETY. In general, a PVC hose is much more likely to contain toxic contaminants (such as heavy metals, flame retardants, and phthalates) than a non-PVC hose, in particular when the PVC were recycled, and this is relevant to water safety. I did not find in the Legacy nor the Flexzilla website verifiable evidence supporting the PR pitch that the hoses are safe for water drinking. But in response to a 2017 customer query about water potability on the old Customer Q&A section --now later replaced by the 'ask Rufus' A-- Legacy claimed "the hose meets or exceeds the standards set by the National Sanitation Foundation" (amzn.to/2LCiKT6), which is a testing and certifying group that changed its name to NSF International more than 30 years ago. Nonetheless, at the time of this review, the NSF website does not list Legacy, Weems, or Flexzilla among those with NSF-certified products. Since the Legacy's claim could have meant testing by another party for conformance to water health-effect standards, I further searched the Web for NSF/ANSI test reports of Flexzilla hoses. I did not find any. But what I found was the _Garden Hose Study 2016_ from the Ecology Center (MI), a 55-year-old independent organization that tested 200+ hoses, including a 50-ft 5/8" Flexzilla garden hose whose material is listed just as "PVC". Multiple phthalates were detected in all layers of the hose, so --contrary to Legacy's touts of safety-- the hose was rated "HIGH" for phthalates, and received the negative evaluation of a "high overall level of concern" (see my figure with such test results). TOXICITY. Phthalates are additives for softening the PVC's vinyl and making it flexible. They are soluble in water and not bound to the vinyl, so they can easily leach into the water or the surface of a PVC hose, quite particularly if the hose were heated up by the sun. Phthalates can break down and enter the body via contact with the skin, along with ingestion or inhalation, where they act as estrogen-like anti-androgens. Exposure to them has been linked to feminizing effects on males by acting as endocrine disruptors, being able to reduce testosterone levels and impact hormone-sensitive brain development. Medical research has linked phthalate exposure to reproductive problems (PMID: 32961939), breast cancers (PMID: 30995175), and cardiovascular disease (PMID: 37269565). In fact, a global study of April 2025 estimated that about 350K heart-disease deaths were caused in 2018 alone by one phthalate still in use for tubing and other flexible plastics, even though it has been reported to cause chronic inflammation of arteries including those in the heart. These and others phthalates are commonly present in numerous other products. Despite this, only seven of the many industrially produced phthalates are restricted in the US (15 US Code §2057c), but just in products for children under 3 years of age, and toys for under 12. Be aware the current NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 standard does consider phthalates. This standard's purpose is to ensure that products and materials in contact with drinking water do not leach harmful contaminants into the water at unsafe levels, including phthalates. Further, all products sold in California containing any of a number of phthalates must display the Prop. 65 Warning: "this product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm", and Health & Safety Code notices of violation have been publicly filed against Legacy or Weems, or both, about phthalates in their products in that state. In spite of a clear familiarity with Prop. 65, Legacy did not disclose the warning on its Amazon webpages over several years. Further, Its reaction to queries about phthalates posted on the old Customer Q&A ranged from simply ignoring them, like a 2014 query (amzn.to/3cbugD9), to answers containing false claims that were never corrected, despite ample opportunity to do so, like its 2017 reply claiming the Flexzilla hose was "phathalate [sic] free" (amzn.to/2D5xQjT). Finally, perhaps relenting to criticism of non-transparent practices, in 2021 Legacy disclosed the Prop. 65 warning as a "Legal Disclaimer" above the Consumer Reviews section of this webpage. But even that was sloppily done -- in 6/2021, the warning did not appear if the 100-ft hose were selected; in 7/2022, it did not appear for the 50-ft, 75-ft, and 100-ft hoses; and in 1/2023, it again disappeared for the 100-ft hose. All diameter and length models of Legacy hoses deserve the toxicity warning. MOLD. Legacy claims the hose's outer layer "resists [...] mold". Nonetheless, about 4 months after I attached the new hose to a reel (so it was kept dry off the grass or any other wet surface), it began developing black mold, first only on its surface but later deeper. One of my attached pictures (taken after rubbing the hose with a dry paper towel to remove dirt) shows the initial surface mold, while its inset shows the same hose at the time it was installed. Not long after that, handling the black-moldy hose left sticky dark stains on my hand. This fungal invasion is neither an isolated nor a rare case, as evidenced by the large number of reviews here complaining about it (or as a "sticky goo" when touched). Mold-invaded objects are a potential health risk, and mold development in the hose's inner surface is a _major_ water safety risk. Black mold can produce highly potent mycotoxins, trichothecenes, which can reach harmful levels depending on fungal strain and growing conditions, and it can also release millions of tiny spores causing lung, ocular, and skin reactions in sensitized persons. Plasticized PVC is susceptible to fungal attack since the additives serve as a nitrogen or carbon source. The hose needs to be flushed thoroughly to wash away the mold flecks in the standing water inside. With a melamine sponge, I could remove some mold on the surface but not deeper in the tube's wall or inside -- surface cleaning is but a temporary cosmetic fix: the mold returned even after I removed the hose from the spigot and kept it in the garage. This is shown in my third photo, taken some months after having removed the moldy hose (which was hung in position for the sake of taking the picture). I contacted Legacy and spoke over the phone with a Tech Support agent, who told me, with the polite laconism recommended for legal cross-examinations, that the company does not deal with the mold invasion. After pressing the issue of health risks for my children, I was told "no mold was found in the inside of a moldy hose" Legacy claims to have cut open. Evidence of such a dissection or its results are not publicly available. In contrast, reviews here show the mold can indeed develop inside the hose. My opinion is that the company could hardly be more apathetic in relation to the potential health risk of the hoses it sells. WARRANTY. Its terms are customer-unfriendly. A defective hose would be replaced if you: [1] fill a form online ; [2] cut off both ends of the hose ; [3] cut off its defective part ; [4] cutoff the print band "Flexzilla by Legacy 5/8" ID Type 150 PSI W" on the hose, along with the 4-digit number ; and [5] mail the cut pieces to Legacy at your expense, along with [6] the proof of purchase and return mailing instructions. The hose has aluminum fittings, but no warranty coverage is provided for the highly likely possibility of the fitting _fusing_ to the brass thread of typical US house spigots due to galvanic corrosion. According to the Legacy's Tech Support, but not affirmed by judicial opinion, the mold development is not covered by the warranty -- tough luck for customers who bought hoses that became Moldy Black, a color quite unlikely to be trademarked by Weems anytime soon. It is censurable that Legacy imitates the three legendary Japanese monkeys, albeit changing the proverb to SEE NO MOLD, HEAR NO MOLD, SPEAK NO MOLD, and it is fair to conclude Legacy considers the development of mold too frequent to be covered by its unfriendly, penny-pinching warranty. ~~

Looking and acting great!
Style: Standard Grip, Size: 50ft, Color: Red Clay
As I unpacked this hose, I was dubious about its likelihood of not kinking. I stretched it out and untwisted the packing condition and waited 24 hours. I was more encouraged when I placed it on the hose rack and careful to keep it untwisted. I've used it a couple of times and so far, I'm impressed. It has not kinked once on a patio with lots of twists and turns and lots of items to get tangled upon. There has been no leaking and good water flow. I was a bit disappointed to see that the connections were composite and not brass but I should have been a more careful reader. We shall see how it holds up in the blistering Arizona sun. I love the muted clay red color on my red brick patio.

Very soft and dries fast. I did the scoot test on them to test the grip and they passed with flying colors. Got them on a limited deal and it was worth every penny. I will be purchasing more in different colors as there are plenty of options. I haven’t washed them yet but if there’s an issue, I will definitely update this review. They are nice and thick and fell good on your feet.
