Description

This Striped Dragon Tree is a stylish statement houseplant, valued for its clean lines, easy care nature and year round good looks. Upright stems are topped with arching, sword shaped leaves, each marked with crisp white stripes against deep green foliage.

It brings instant structure to a room, working well as a floor standing plant or as a feature alongside other houseplants. The variegated foliage helps lift darker corners and adds contrast to collections dominated by plain green leaves.

One of its biggest strengths is reliability. It tolerates lower light levels, copes well away from direct sun, and does not demand constant attention. That makes it particularly well suited to offices, hallways and busy homes where conditions are not always ideal.

This variety holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit, recognising its performance and dependability. It is also known for helping filter everyday indoor pollutants from the air.

Supplied as an established two stem plant in a 17cm pot, ready to display. The two stems measure approximately 30cm and 10cm tall.

Top Tips

Water the plant only when the top 1 inch of soil is dry and then water it thoroughly with tepid water, however, never allow the base of the pot to sit in a saucer of water.

Care Information

Feed the plant with a liquid-based houseplant fertiliser every two weeks in spring and summer.
Repot every two years into a pot one size larger until plants reach the desired height. After that, repot every three years into the same pot to refresh the soil.
Control your plant's height by cutting off the top when needed. The stem will look a bit bare for a while, but within a few weeks, new shoots will appear and the leaves will regrow.
