Dracaena reflexa 'Bicolor' – Elegant Red-Edged Dracaena with Green and Yellow Stripes

Dracaena reflexa var. angustifolia 'Bicolor', widely recognized under its synonym Dracaena marginata, is a refined cultivar admired for its layered color pattern. It develops slender, woody stems that rise bare with age, crowned by tufts of long, narrow leaves. The foliage is deep green at the center, bordered by ivory-yellow bands and finished with a fine edge of bordeaux red. Over time, the plant matures into a snaking, tree-like form that adds elegance and color contrast to modern interiors.

Why Dracaena 'Bicolor' Stands Out

  • Color Pattern: Emerald green centers, framed by creamy yellow stripes and edged in dark red.
  • Growth Style: Upright stems that branch slowly, developing a tree-like silhouette.
  • Size Potential: Indoors often 1.5 – 2 m tall, taller in conservatory settings.
  • Interior Impact: Combines bold color accents with a graceful architectural form.

Origin and Related Cultivars

The species Dracaena reflexa var. angustifolia is native to Madagascar and other Indian Ocean islands. Cultivars such as 'Bicolor', 'Red', and 'Colorama' were developed in horticulture for their foliage coloration. Among these, 'Bicolor' is noted for its three-tone striping – darker and more refined than the broader pink of 'Colorama' and more variegated than the solid-edged 'Red'.

Care Guide for Dracaena 'Bicolor'

  • Light: Bright, indirect light enhances color; tolerates lower light but stripes may fade.
  • Watering: Water moderately, letting the topsoil dry between waterings; avoid waterlogging.
  • Soil: Prefers a well-draining, organic-rich potting mix.
  • Temperature: Keep between 18 – 27 °C; protect from cold drafts.
  • Humidity: Adapts to typical indoor humidity; occasional misting supports leaf health.
  • Feeding: Fertilize monthly in spring and summer with diluted liquid feed.

Points to Keep in Mind

  • Leaf Drop: Older leaves naturally shed from the base, exposing the trunk.
  • Color Fading: Low light reduces contrast between yellow and green bands.
  • Pests: May attract scale or spider mites if stressed.
  • Toxicity: Like most Dracaena, toxic to pets if ingested.

Why Collectors Value Dracaena 'Bicolor'

Among marginata cultivars, Dracaena 'Bicolor' is admired for its balance of subtlety and color. Its green, cream, and red striping makes it more intricate than the solid 'Red' cultivar but less flamboyant than 'Colorama'. This balance gives it versatility for both minimalist interiors and mixed tropical displays.

Etymology

The genus name Dracaena comes from the Ancient Greek δράκαινα (drakaina), meaning “female dragon,” a reference to the red resin (“dragon’s blood”) produced by some species in the group.

Source Naturals Melatonin is the best!
My husband and I have been using Source Naturals Melatonin for almost 25 years. I have tried a few other brands, and I definitely think Source Naturals is the best! I once saw a program on Discovery channel about how Melatonin is an important heart antioxidant, and that after age 40 the Melatonin in our system goes way down. We had also just moved to a high altitude town, and I was having great difficulty sleeping because of the high altitude. We started taking Source Naturals Melatonin, and I was able to sleep like a baby. I really recommend the time release especially, and we also take a 1 mg sublingual lozenge to fall asleep more quickly.

surprised!
I actually didn't realize I had ordered "time released" version. I thought these were just normal melatonin. But now that I've tried these, I love them so much better than the regular version! Helps me sleep better through the night. No taste, love this brand of Source Naturals.

The only one I'll use!
As the title says, this is the brand to get!! It's fast-acting, doesn't give me weird dreams like some do, and I never wake up feeling groggy.

Works wonders
I've been buying these for well over a year now as Subscribe and Save. I work 12 hour overnights as a nurse. My sleep schedule normally gets messed up. I would have no problem falling asleep but would wake up only a few hours later which is not good when you have work again that night. We buy these on Amazon due to the great price and the fact that they are extended release which helps keep me asleep longer. When I take 1 or 2 of them, I am able to sleep about 7-8 hours which is great. I take this both when I sleep during the day and sleep during the night. It helps me sleep no matter when and I am able to adjust my sleep schedule often. I have recommended them to many.

Works quite well, dose still a bit high for me
Used to take the Natrol 5mg slow release, now that I can compare these 2, I love this more. It doesn't make me feel too edgy, it's quite relaxing actually. I still have to halve the dose as the full dose makes me groggy the next day. Where the Natrol gave me very vivid, but not unpleasant dreams, these don't make me dream as vividly. It does take a bit longer to get me to sleep, but once asleep, your asleep. Highly recommend, once I finish this bottle, I'd get the 2mg tr next time, as a lower dose works better for me.
