"Dracaena Red" is not a specific species of Dracaena but likely refers to a variety of Dracaena marginata with red coloration on its leaves. Dracaena marginata, commonly known as the Madagascar Dragon Tree, comes in several cultivars with varying leaf colors, including shades of red, pink, and green. Dracaena marginata with red foliage prefers bright, indirect light.
Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out before watering your Dracaena Red. Water thoroughly, allowing excess water to drain away. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Use well-draining potting soil for your Dracaena Red. A mix formulated for houseplants or tropical plants works well. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water from accumulating at the roots.
Dracaena marginata prefers temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C) and moderate to high humidity levels. It can tolerate average indoor humidity but may benefit from occasional misting or placement near a humidifier, especially in dry indoor environments. Feed your Dracaena Red with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce or stop fertilization in fall and winter when growth slows down.
Prune your Dracaena Red as needed to maintain its size and shape. Remove any dead or yellowing leaves, and trim back leggy growth to encourage bushier growth. Choose a pot with drainage holes that is slightly larger than the plant's root ball. Repot your Dracaena Red every few years to refresh the soil and provide room for root growth. It can tolerate lower light conditions but may lose its vibrant coloration in low light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
Dracaena plants, including Dracaena marginata, are toxic to cats, dogs, and other pets if ingested. Keep them out of reach of pets, and wash your hands after handling the plant. With proper care, your Dracaena Red can thrive and add a pop of color to your indoor space. Enjoy its unique foliage and vibrant hues!
