The Kiwi Dracaena (Dracaena marginata 'Kiwi'), also known as the Kiwi Dragon Tree or Striped Dracaena, is a striking houseplant known for its vibrant, variegated leaves. Its slender, arching foliage showcases bands of golden yellow, green, and hints of pink, creating a dramatic and exotic look. Perfect for adding a pop of color to your interior decor, this low-maintenance plant is an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced plant enthusiasts. Its upright growth habit makes it ideal for small spaces, providing a tropical touch without overwhelming the area. Native to tropical regions, the Kiwi Dracaena also offers air-purifying benefits, making it as functional as it is beautiful.
Best Locations For Growing Kiwi Dracaena
This plant thrives in living rooms, offices, and bedrooms, especially near east- or west-facing windows. It complements modern or tropical decor and can even be used as a statement plant in kitchens. Note that the Kiwi Dracaena is toxic to pets and should be kept out of their reach.
Kiwi Dracaena Sunlight Requirements
The Kiwi Dracaena prefers bright, indirect light but can adapt to moderate light conditions. Place it near an east-facing window or several feet away from a west-facing window. Use sheer curtains to filter harsh sunlight and prevent leaf scorch.
Kiwi Dracaena Care
Plant the Kiwi Dracaena in well-draining potting soil to prevent waterlogging. Avoid overwatering by allowing the top 2-3 inches of soil to dry before watering again. Rotate the plant monthly for even growth, and dust its leaves regularly to maintain its lush appearance. Repot only when roots outgrow the container.
Watering Kiwi Dracaena
Water your Kiwi Dracaena thoroughly when the top 2-3 inches of soil feel dry, typically every 10–14 days. In winter, reduce watering frequency as the plant’s growth slows. Avoid overwatering, which can cause root rot. Dry air may cause leaf tips to brown, so mist occasionally to boost humidity.
Feeding Kiwi Dracaena
Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer. Skip feeding in fall and winter when the plant’s growth naturally slows.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
