Although able to tolerate light shade, the Marginata Magenta Dracaena prefers medium to bright light levels; however, it doesn’t tolerate any harsh midday sun. 

Marginata Magenta Dracaena Care

Marginata Magenta Dracaena does not require much care. Preferring a temperature of around 75°F, this plant will struggle in temperatures below 50°F. If given the option, the Marginata Magenta Dracaena prefers a humid environment, although it will tolerate average humidity levels just fine. Nevertheless, if growing this plant in a particularly dry atmosphere, it will benefit from regular misting. 

Watering Marginata Magenta Dracaena

The Marginata Magenta Dracaena will cope with most conditions but does not tolerate overwatering. Watering is recommended only when the top layer of soil is dry to the touch; after watering, allow any excess water to freely drain away to prevent root rot. If the leaves begin to turn yellow, this can be a sign of overwatering and watering should be reduced, especially during the colder months.

Feeding Marginata Magenta Dracaena

Feeding the Marginata Magenta Dracaena is not strictly necessary as it is considered a light feeder. However, to encourage healthy and lush growth, it can be fed every 4 to 6 weeks during the growing season with a weakly diluted, liquid houseplant fertilizer.
