SUN

The Dracaena Marginata prefers medium to bright, indirect light, though it can tolerate lower light levels. Placement at the interior of a room or light filtered through blinds will avoid leaf burn caused by direct sunlight. 

WATER

Water generously once the top 50%-75% of the soil has dried. They can handle occasional dry conditions but grow best under consistent care. Reduce frequency during fall and winter. 

AIR 

Average indoor air tends to work well for the Dracaena, though these come from subtropical regions and will thrive under their natural conditions. Maintain temperatures between 70º-85º and extra humidity. You can provide a regular boost of humidity by:


  • Misting the leaves 2-4x per week with non-tap water
  • Adding a humidifier nearby
  • Creating a pebble tray that lives underneath the pot
  • Placement in a bathroom or kitchen, if lighting is suitable

PET FRIENDLY

Keep out of reach from curious pets. These are toxic when ingested.

AESTHETIC

Native to subtropical Madagascar, the Dracaena Marginata grows upright on tall, asymmetrical branches with sturdy and narrow, sword-like leaves. Their name is derived from the Greek word for “female dragon” due to the red border along the leaves and red-colored sap emitted by the plant when injured. A white stripe runs through the middle of each leaf, creating a beautiful tricolor masterpiece. Under proper care indoors, these can grow up to 6-10 feet tall in their lifetime.

HEALTH BENEFITS

Active exposure to and care for plants has many proven wellbeing benefits, such as: 


  • Lower stress levels
  • Improved mood
  • Superior mental clarity and focus

Dracaena Marginatas are fantastic air purifiers, producing oxygen while absorbing the most common indoor toxins and carbon dioxide through the leaves and soil.  

SPIRITUAL INTERPRETATIONS

Dracaena Marginatas carry the symbol of good fortune and happiness. It becomes an emblem of positive energy in any dedicated space such as the dining room or office. According to ancient Feng Shui practices, intentional placement at the center of your home attracts this energy towards health and overall wellbeing.

OUR RECS

We recommend a ceramic or clay planter with a drainage hole to provide ideal moisture balance for the Dracaena. When repotting, keep it in a planter of the same size or no more than 2 inches larger.  


Ideal soil is a well-draining mix with aerating and moisture-retaining amendments such as perlite, sand, and vermiculite.


Nature is unique - each plant may vary slightly from the plant shown here. Ceramic planters are sold separately.

Good toy, wish it was slightly bigger
Size: 2.8in for Small & Medium Dogs, Size: 2.8in for Small & Medium Dogs
I got the medium to large size ball for my elderly boxer who has suddenly taken to chewing on everything. The toy has been a decent purchase. Pros: not incredibly stiff plastic for elderly dogs. Easy to manipulate to put treats in the spikes. Easy to clean. Seems engaging for my dog. Cons: probably not for super chewers. This size is probably too small for large or extra large dogs. My dog can easily fit this in his mouth and I wish it was just a little bigger. The ball can only hold one mini milk bone per slot, so it makes for treats to be really easily pulled out. Can't comment on durability yet, haven't had it for long enough. Overall, I like this toy. I just wish it was slightly wider or bigger.

Durable, Fun, Useful!
Size: 1.8in for Puppy Dogs
This treat dispenser is so great! For one thing, it's sturdy and will last forever. It will get lost before it wears out. This is my second order because I can't find the first one . . . so I bought this pack of two. In one, I put peanut butter. In the second one, I put toothpaste, just a squirt for each opening. My dog LOVES to chew on this even after she has consumed 98% of whatever I put in there. In short, it occupies her attention, which is a blessing! It's both a treat and a toy. It also bounces well and can be thrown as a ball. It will LAST far longer than any ofher other balls, too. My dog has a tiny mouth and larger balls are too big or too hard for her. If I could give it more stars, I would!

DURABLE
Size: 2.8in for Small & Medium Dogs
My dog loves these balls almost as much as she loves tennis balls, which she tears up within a day. These two balls have lasted over a week with no signs of wear. I was unsure when I ordered them but they do bounce, not quite like a tennis ball but enough to keep my dog's attention. When using toothpaste in these balls I had to put it deep into the openings or she just licks it off of the surface and when its that deep, it doesn't squeeze out like I think it should. It just stays in the crevasses and gets old and hard. As a ball it's great, as a toothpaste delivery system it's not so great.

Perfect For Sophia!
Size: 1.8in for Puppy Dogs, Size: 1.8in for Puppy Dogs
These little balls are the perfect size for Sophia who is a 7 lb Yorkie with a teeny tiny mouth. The slots in the balls make them very easy for her little teeth to grab hold of and carry. The quality of the rubber is excellent, strong and durable. They're holding up great so far! She loves them and so does her Mama! 5 stars!
