Plant Size
Small: 4 inch standard nursery pot
Light
Dracaena Marginata does well in medium to bright indirect light but can also survive in low light. Avoid intense, direct sun as this can burn the leaves. Morning sun from east or north-facing window is ideal. These plants will also grow well in a window with a western exposure that gets good evening sun.
Water
Dracaena Marginata is a fairly drought-tolerant plant. It should only be watered when the soil has dried thoroughly. It is best to err on the side of underwatering. She does not do well in consistently moist or soggy soil.
Plant Specific Care
Dracaena plants require warm temperatures to thrive. Ideal temperatures range between 65 and 90 ºF. This plant will start to decline at temperatures below 55 ºF. Dracaena plants like a loamy, well-draining, organically rich soil mixture. A good quality potting mix would work well for potting these plants. Soil can be amended with coco coir up to 25% to improve aeration. Fine pumice or perlite can be added up to 25% to improve drainage.
