Dracaena marginata ‘Kiwi’ – Variegated Dragon Tree

Dracaena marginata ‘Kiwi’ is a tropical houseplant prized for its slender, colourful foliage. Its long, narrow leaves combine shades of green, cream and yellow, highlighted by fine red to pink margins.

Its upright growth habit and variegated foliage make it a particularly decorative variation of the classic Dracaena marginata.

Light
Provide bright indirect light to maintain well-defined variegation and encourage balanced growth. Insufficient light may reduce the contrast in the foliage. Avoid intense direct sunlight.

Watering
Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings, then water thoroughly and let excess moisture drain away. Avoid keeping the soil consistently wet.

Care
Dracaena marginata ‘Kiwi’ appreciates an airy, well-draining potting mix and relatively stable temperatures. Rotate the plant occasionally to encourage even growth and wipe the leaves as needed to prevent dust buildup.

Good to know
‘Kiwi’ is a variegated Dracaena marginata selection distinguished from the classic form by its pale striping and multicoloured foliage. The intensity of its variegation may vary depending on light and growing conditions. Like other Dracaena, it is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested.
