The Kiwi Dragon Tree, known as Dracaena marginata ‘Kiwi’, is a striking and vibrant cultivar admired for its colorful foliage and easygoing nature, making it a favorite among indoor plant enthusiasts. Its gracefully arching leaves and dynamic color palette set it apart from other houseplants, while its ability to adapt to a range of indoor conditions adds to its widespread appeal.  

This variety offers all the hardiness of the classic Dracaena marginata with an extra splash of color, making it an excellent choice for home and office décor. 

Native to Madagascar, the “Kiwi” name comes from its tri-colored leaves that resemble the vibrant shades of a kiwi fruit—lime green centers, creamy yellow margins, and thin pink to red edging that intensifies with proper lighting.

The Kiwi Dragon Tree is primarily grown for its foliage, which is long, narrow, and sword-shaped, forming elegant tufts at the top of tall, slender stems.

The colorful leaf pattern creates a vivid display year-round, with the variegation appearing more pronounced in bright, indirect light.

New growth emerges from the crown, and older leaves naturally shed from the bottom, giving the plant its distinctive tree-like appearance.

When mature, the Kiwi Dragon Tree can grow up to 8 feet tall indoors, although growth is slow and controlled, especially in containers. It tends to grow upright, with the option to prune or braid stems for visual interest. In its native habitat or in ideal tropical outdoor environments, it may grow even taller, but it remains compact enough for most indoor settings. 

The Kiwi Dragon Tree may produce small, white to pale pink fragrant flowers, typically followed by orange or red berries. These flowers emerge on tall stalks and can be an unexpected bonus for long-time plant owners. However, most growers value the plant for its year-round ornamental foliage rather than its blooms. 

When it comes to Dracaena marginata kiwi care, use a well-draining potting mix, opens in a new tab, such as a blend made for palms or indoor tropical plants. Water deeply but infrequently, allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry between waterings, and reduce watering during winter.

Indoors, keep the temperature between 65°F and 80°F with humidity above 40%, and place it in bright, indirect light.

Outdoors, it grows well in USDA Zones 10–12, where temperatures remain above 50°F. Provide dappled sunlight or light shade to prevent leaf scorching.

Prune leggy stems or brown leaves as needed to maintain shape, and fertilize once a year during the growing season in spring with a diluted balanced houseplant fertilizer. 

One of the most unique aspects of the ‘Kiwi’ cultivar is its foliage coloration, which requires just the right balance of light and care to maintain vibrancy. In low light, the variegation can fade, while in too much direct sun, the leaves may burn. Its drought tolerance, ease of pruning, and low pest issues make it a low-maintenance plant despite its colorful appearance. It is also known to filter indoor air pollutants, making it as functional as it is beautiful. 

Final Thoughts

Overall, the Kiwi Dragon Tree (Dracaena marginata ‘Kiwi’) offers a perfect combination of visual appeal, resilience, and versatility. Its vivid foliage makes it a standout among variegated houseplants, while its slow growth and upright form make it suitable for small spaces. Whether placed in a bright corner of a living room or a softly lit office, the Kiwi Dragon Tree adds a tropical touch and a splash of color without demanding much in return.

Very enlightening for those who truly appreciate creativity more than cleverness!
Format: Paperback
I love how the author almost redefines creativity .and sheds new light (for me, at least!)on what what real-for-true creativity is and how it benefits individuals and society. It's far more than simply brightening up a room with new wallpaper and curtains -- it describes how genuine creativity requires a thorough working knowledge of the fundamentals of any given field before one can truly create something new or better, and it reveals how those of us who aren't capable of creating something ourselves can yet be part of the process by demonstrating appreciation and support for those who create, whether as sponsors, patrons, or even just ardent fans!

instructive but limited
The testimonies of creative people that give this book its flesh and blood provide fascinating examples of creative people at work. That said, if a journalist had written the book, it would be more readable, and I don't think any less of an intellectual contribution. Moreover, the definition of creativity is elitist and stunts the topic (as observed by other reviewers): "Creativity is any act, idea, or product that changes an existing domain, or that transforms an existing domain into a new one. And the definition of a creative person is: someone whose thoughts or actions change a domain, or establish a new domain. It is important to remember, however, that a domain cannot be changed without the explicit or implicit consent of a field responsible for it." Given the people interviewed, much more needs to be said about the function of social institutions in promoting creativity. Many of the accomplishments lauded in this book would never have happened without grant-making agencies (e.g., NSF, NIH, HHMI) or non-profit employers like research universities and hospitals. To offer just one obvious example of the difference made by one's institutional context, the author had advanced students to help him do his research for this book. The elitism of the definition is even clearer in the role that marketplace plays as a judge of creativity. None of us buys books from amazon.com because some official group validated amazon.com as a good idea. We didn't wait for computer programers to affirm and certify it. Amazon.com is not deemed successful because it impressed its peers. It is successful because millions of us purchase goods through it. Similarly, auto-executives did not make the minivan a successful idea, millions of shoppers did. (Obviously I don't think the marketplace fits into the author's definition of creativity. If 300 million American consumers comprise a domain with 300 million judges, then the word no longer has any useful meaning.) The definition also precludes that countless ephemeral acts of creativity that take place daily. I think instantly of two women I have worked with who were great at holidays. Their clever costumes or decorations brightened my day, adding a little element of surprise and delight. Their acts of creativity don't meet the definitions of this book. The way that creativity is defined in this book is simply a filtering mechanism by which the author selected the people he would interview. It is not a definition of creativity. It is only a description of a subsection of creativity, the kind where institutions provide paychecks to highly practiced individuals to work hard at what they love. I also found little new to take away and apply to my own social existence inside the organization where I work. Perhaps I can summarize my dissatisfaction by observing that the subtitle sets out an agenda for the psychology of creativity, but the definitional filter is intrinsically social. This disconnection sets the book up to fail. So, count this as a negative review, yes, but I did enjoy reading the testimonies of the people interviewed, and the author adds some value in the generalizations he draws. Still, much, much more could have been said.

Wise and Complete
Format: Paperback
I've read a lot of books, too many, on creativity, and this is by far the best, the most complete, the most interesting. The idea that creativity comes out of immersion in a domain or field seems absolutely right and the idea missed by so many other writers. I'm a writer and a painter and I've learned that I'm not going to be any better than the work I've come to know and love, that I have to live in that work. If you want to be a better string player, play with a better ensemble. In many ways a creative person is someone who is in a conversation with what has come before, with work that excites her, teaches her, challenges her. This book makes that plain. But he has other insights as well, especially about the creative personality, the interesting dichotomies. Just read the book.

Creativity which has the power to change the world
A few caveats to those who are generally interested in creativity studies: Csikszentmihalyi's analysis and discussion of creativity does not directly relate to those who are personally creative. People who enjoy engaging in creative activities are not demoted, in his terms, but are simply not a part of the study. It is unfortunate that his language makes it seem this way; he distinguishes between the two by saying that Creativity has the power to shape a domain or the world, while creativity applies to those who enjoy coming up with new recipes, who are engaged in research that may not change a domain, but may "tweak" it, etc. What he is trying to discover are the underlying principles and traits of creativity in those whose work has made a significant change. Think Albert Einstein, Eleanor Roosevelt, Mark Strand: people who are either widely known for their influence, or who have been influential within their area or domain. This book provides an interesting view into the minds and work habits of Creative individuals, and concludes by offering general advice to those who wish to make their own lives and work more creative. It is a useful book, but one which requires a great deal of supplemental reading, in order to truly engage in creativity studies.

Fun easy to read way to see how the wealthy stay wealthy
Format: Paperback
Mark Quann’s Be Smart Pay Zero Taxes is an eye-opening, engaging, and highly informative guide that challenges everything most of us think we know about taxes, wealth, and the financial system. With his "Buy, Borrow, Die" strategy, Quann presents a bold new way to build and preserve wealth—legally and ethically—while minimizing tax liability. One of the things that really stands out about this book is how approachable and enjoyable it is to read. Quann has a knack for breaking down complex financial concepts into bite-sized, digestible pieces. Whether you're a finance newbie or have been managing your own portfolio for years, you'll find the material easy to grasp and even fun to read. The tone is conversational, and the author's humor and wit shine through, making the book a far cry from the dry, overly technical finance books out there. What I loved most was how Quann exposes the ways in which the banking industry and the government have duped ordinary people into believing we have no choice but to pay exorbitant taxes. He takes a deep dive into the financial system and reveals how the wealthiest individuals have been using clever strategies for years to legally avoid paying significant taxes. The “Buy, Borrow, Die” method isn’t just some gimmick; it’s a smart and effective way to sidestep the tax traps most of us fall into. Quann’s perspective will make you question everything from your investment strategies to the way you think about saving and building wealth. This book empowers you with a strategy that not only helps you protect your wealth but also ensures that you're making the most of what you've worked so hard for. By the end, you’ll realize that we’ve been sold a false narrative about taxes and money, and there’s a much smarter way to approach wealth-building. Overall, Be Smart Pay Zero Taxes is a must-read for anyone who wants to get ahead financially. It’s a wake-up call wrapped in a fun and easy-to-read package. If you're ready to take control of your financial future and start building wealth like the ultra-wealthy, this book is the perfect place to start. Highly recommended!
