Dracaena reflexa var. angustifolia 'Magenta'

Dracaena reflexa var. angustifolia 'Magenta' is a red-edged dragon tree cultivar with slim green leaves and vivid magenta margins. The colour sits along the leaf edge, so the plant keeps a narrow outline while adding a strong red-purple accent.

Its growth comes from slender woody canes that carry tufts of pointed leaves at their tips. As the stems lengthen, the plant develops a light tree-like silhouette with space between the foliage heads. Cutting back a tall cane can restart growth lower on the stem and help maintain a fuller indoor shape.

  • Leaf colour: Deep green blades edged with reddish-magenta margins.
  • Growth habit: Slim woody canes with narrow leaf tufts at the tips.
  • Indoor size control: Can be pruned to manage height and encourage branching.
  • Container outline: Red-edged foliage on narrow canes keeps the plant slim in a pot.

Red-Margined Leaves on Woody Canes

This cultivar belongs to Dracaena reflexa var. angustifolia, the western Indian Ocean dragon-tree variety formerly known as Dracaena marginata. The variety’s natural form is a shrub or tree, and 'Magenta' keeps that cane-forming structure indoors on a smaller scale.

The narrow leaves show their strongest colour along the margins. Bright filtered light keeps new leaves firmer, while overly harsh sun can scorch the leaf surface. The stems and leaves tolerate short dry spells, but constant wetness around the roots can lead to soft stems and root decline.

Care for a Red-Edged Dragon Tree

  • Light: Use bright indirect light near a window; introduce any direct sun slowly and avoid hot midday exposure.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly after the upper part of the mix has dried, then keep the saucer empty.
  • Potting: Choose a pot with drainage and avoid large jumps in pot size after repotting.
  • Temperature: Keep the plant above cool draughts, with steady indoor warmth around 18–27 °C.
  • Substrate: A mineral-aerated mix helps protect the roots from long wet periods.
  • Pruning: Shorten tall canes in spring or summer for easier regrowth and shape recovery.
  • Humidity: Average home humidity is acceptable, but a very dry room can make leaf tips crisp.
  • Feeding: Apply a diluted balanced fertiliser during active growth, then pause or reduce feeding in winter.

Colour and Root-Zone Troubleshooting

  • Dull new leaves: Move gradually into brighter filtered light if the plant has been kept far from a window.
  • Brown tips: Check for dry air, mineral buildup, hard water or fertiliser excess before changing the whole care routine.
  • Soft stems: Remove the plant from wet substrate and inspect the roots if a cane loses firmness.
  • Dry, bleached patches: Shift away from direct sun that hits the same leaves for several hours.
  • Small pests: Look for spider mites, scale or mealybugs on leaf bases and along older stems.

Safety for Pets

Dracaena reflexa var. angustifolia 'Magenta' is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. Keep the plant out of reach and remove fallen leaves, especially in homes with pets that chew foliage.

Botanical Background

Dracaena comes from Greek drakaina, meaning female dragon. The species epithet reflexa means bent back sharply, and angustifolia means narrow-leaved. Dracaena marginata is an older synonym of Dracaena reflexa var. angustifolia.

Dracaena reflexa var. angustifolia 'Magenta' has slim canes, defined height and red-edged foliage in a narrow potted form.

Does well on my sensitive skin
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is a good sunscreen, doesn't bother my sensitive skin or cause a roseacea flare up. It is a bit too dewy for my taste to wear just by itself, but does just fine when I use it under my makeup. If you like the "glass skin" look, it would be a good option.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Perfect Sunscreen for Active Kids!
Coppertone Kids SPF 70 is a must-have for any parent! I’ve tried several sunscreens for my kids, but this one stands out for its reliability, protection, and ease of use. It’s no surprise it’s the #1 pediatrician-recommended brand—it really delivers. What I love most is that it stays on strong, even when my kids are running around, sweating, and jumping in and out of the pool. The water resistance (up to 80 minutes) is a huge plus, especially for long beach days or outdoor sports. I don’t have to constantly reapply it every 20 minutes like with some other brands. It’s also gentle on sensitive skin—my kids haven’t had any reactions, and there are no dyes or PABA, which gives me peace of mind. The lotion goes on smoothly, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave that sticky or greasy feeling. The SPF 70 protection is fantastic, especially for long summer days in the sun. And with a generous 8 oz bottle, it lasts a while even with frequent use. If you’re looking for a sturdy, effective, and kid-friendly sunscreen, this is the one. It keeps my little ones protected so they can just focus on having fun—and I can relax knowing they’re covered!

Kid friendly
This sunscreen is amazing! It goes on smoothly, isn’t sticky, and absorbs quickly. My kids don’t mind applying it at all, which makes outdoor time much easier. It provides excellent sun protection, keeps their skin safe during play, and doesn’t cause any irritation. The scent is mild and pleasant too. Definitely my go-to sunscreen for my kids—highly recommend!

Excellent Protection for Active Kids
The Coppertone Kids Sunscreen Lotion, SPF 70 has become a must-have in our outdoor routine. This sunscreen provides outstanding protection for my child’s skin, and I trust it to keep them safe during long hours outside. Reliable Sun Protection for Kids This sunscreen offers excellent SPF 70 protection, which is ideal for active kids who love being outdoors. I appreciate that it’s designed specifically for children, and it holds up well during activities, even with a lot of sweating or water play. Slightly Thick, but Worth the Effort The only small drawback is that it’s a bit thick, making it a little difficult to squeeze out of the bottle. However, once applied, it absorbs well and doesn’t leave a sticky residue, so it’s worth the minor inconvenience. Final Thoughts Overall, Coppertone Kids Sunscreen Lotion is an effective, reliable option for parents looking to keep their children protected in the sun. Despite the thicker consistency, it’s easy to apply and provides lasting coverage—highly recommended for peace of mind outdoors!

Love this product!
This sunscreen is heavy duty, I use it on my boys when we go to beach (They love to spend hours and hours under the blistering sun) and it out performs other brands and has longer protection than their 50 SPF product.
