Description

You'll love the warmth that Dracaena Marginata 'Red Dragon' brings into your home. Those beautiful arching leaves with stunning red edges create the perfect pop of color, while growing at just the right pace, so you don’t feel overwhelmed.


Also known as the Madagascar Dragon Tree, the adaptable plant can handle your busy lifestyle beautifully. It handles irregular watering like a champ and adapts to various light conditions beautifully, developing into a statement-making tree that will impress any guests. 


Care 

Should a Dragon Tree be inside or outside? 

Your Dracaena Marginata 'Red Dragon' is definitely an indoor plant at heart! It loves the controlled temperatures of your home over the unpredictable outdoor world. That said, it enjoys brief summer vacations outside when temperatures stay above 59°F (15°C).


Just keep it in a protected spot away from direct midday sun, and bring it back inside before temperatures drop. Think of it as your plant companion who occasionally enjoys a gentle outdoor adventure but always wants to come home to you!


How do you care for the Dracaena Marginata ‘Red Dragon’ indoors?

To give your red-edged Dracaena the best possible life indoors, place it in bright, indirect light where it can show off those gorgeous leaves. Water it when the top half feels dry, and it'll reward you beautifully.


Plant in well-draining soil with some peat moss mixed in - nothing fancy needed. It's comfortable with normal home humidity but appreciates the occasional mist, especially if your home runs dry. Keep temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C) and avoid cold drafts. 


How often should I water my Dracaena Marginata ‘Red Dragon’?

Water your Dracaena Marginata every 2-3 weeks, letting the top half of soil dry completely between waterings. During spring and summer growing season, it might appreciate slightly more frequent drinks, while winter definitely calls for extra patience.


How much light does a Dragon Tree need?

Your Dracaena Marginata 'Red Dragon' thrives in bright, indirect light to really show off those stunning red edges. Think gentle, dappled sunshine or a few feet back from a bright window - the perfect lighting for admiring its beauty.


While it'll tolerate partial shade (it's accommodating like that), too little light means slower growth and less vibrant color in those signature red margins. East-facing windows are ideal, but it adapts to most lighting situations like the easygoing companion it is.


Where is the best place to put a Dracaena Marginata ‘Red Dragon’?

Your Dracaena Marginata 'Red Dragon' will be happiest in a spot with bright, indirect light - think east-facing windows or anywhere with gentle, filtered sunshine. It wants to showcase those beautiful red edges without getting harsh, damaging sunburn exposure.


Keep it away from direct harsh sun and cold drafts (it appreciates consistency just like we do!). Whether it's adding life to your living room or bringing natural beauty to your office, it'll thrive as long as it can avoid extreme temperature changes.


Can Dracaena Marginata ‘Red Dragon’ get too much sun?

Yes, your Dracaena Marginata 'Red Dragon' can definitely get too much sun! Those beautiful leaves will develop unsightly brown tips or fade significantly if exposed to harsh direct sunlight - relocate to a much gentler, safer spot right away.


Should you mist a Dragon Tree?

Misting your Dracaena Marginata 'Red Dragon' is like offering it a refreshing tropical treat. While not absolutely necessary with average home humidity, an occasional gentle mist helps it feel perfectly right at home in its own little Madagascar paradise.


Think of it as a gentle spa treatment rather than essential care - it appreciates the gesture in dry environments or during winter when heating systems dry out the air. For extra humidity benefits, group it with other plants or place on a pebble tray with water.


Can Dracaena Marginata ‘Red Dragon’ survive in low-light conditions?

Your Dracaena Marginata will absolutely survive in low-light conditions, maintaining its beautiful form even when the spotlight isn't directly on it. While it grows faster and develops more vibrant red edges in brighter spots, it'll still thrive in shadier corners.


Growth might slow down and colors may be slightly less intense, but it'll keep that striking architectural beauty that made you fall in love with it in the first place.


What is the best fertilizer for Dracaena Marginata Red Dragon?

Your Dracaena Marginata 'Red Dragon' thrives with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer like 10-10-10 during spring and summer growing season. Always dilute to half strength and feed every two weeks to avoid overwhelming those beautiful roots with excess nutrients.


In autumn and winter, reduce feeding to once a month or stop altogether since growth naturally slows down. We love how forgiving this plant is - even if you forget to fertilize occasionally, it won't hold it against you!


How do I know which of the Dracaena types I have?

You can identify your Dracaena Marginata 'Red Dragon' by looking for those distinctive long, narrow leaves with gorgeous red or burgundy edges along the margins. The woody stem and sword-like leaf shape are classic Marginata characteristics that set it apart.


Other Dracaena varieties have different patterns - 'Colorama' shows pink, white, and green stripes, while 'Tricolor' displays green, yellow, and red bands. If your plant has solid green leaves with just those beautiful red edges, you've got the classic Red Dragon variety!


Do you water the Dracaena Marginata ‘Red Dragon’ from the top or the bottom?

Top watering works best for your Dracaena Marginata 'Red Dragon' because it helps flush out salt buildup that these plants are particularly sensitive to. Pour water slowly and steadily until it drains freely from the bottom drainage holes.


Always empty the saucer after watering to prevent those roots from sitting in standing water. If possible, use distilled or rainwater to avoid fluoride buildup, which can cause brown leaf tips. Your plant will thank you for this extra care!



Is Dracaena Marginata ‘Red Dragon’ high maintenance?

Your Dracaena Marginata 'Red Dragon' is wonderfully low-maintenance as well as forgiving, making it perfect for busy plant parents. It can handle irregular watering beautifully and it adapts to various light conditions with minimal fuss and care requirements.


We love recommending this plant to beginners because it's so resilient and understanding. It won't sulk if you forget to water it for a week or two, and it adapts to different lighting situations like the easygoing companion it is.


Pet-friendly?

The Dracaena Marginata 'Red Dragon' isn't safe for your furry family members. It contains compounds called saponins that are mildly to moderately toxic when eaten.

Is the Dracaena Marginata safe for dogs?

Unfortunately, your Dracaena Marginata 'Red Dragon' and your canine companion aren't the best match. If your curious dog decides to nibble those striking leaves, they might experience vomiting, diarrhea, drooling, or weakness - not the kind of excitement anyone wants.


Symptoms are usually mild unless your pup really goes to town on the plant, but it's best to keep this beauty out of reach. If you catch your dog sampling, it's worth calling the vet just to be safe. We recommend creating a safe boundary between your dog and this stunning plant.


Is the Dracaena Marginata poisonous to cats?

Your feline friend and this beautiful Dracaena Marginata 'Red Dragon' need some clear boundaries! If your cat becomes a plant nibbler, watch for vomiting, drooling, loss of appetite, dilated pupils, and lethargy— head to the vet. 


Factoids

What are the different types of Dragon Tree? 

The Dracaena Marginata family is like a wonderful plant collection, each member with their own special character! The 'Colorama' variety shows off with pink, white, and green striped leaves, while 'Magenta' displays green leaves with show-stopping magenta-red edges.


For something more substantial, 'Tarzan' brings wider, sturdier leaves to your space. The 'Tricolor' is particularly special, sporting green leaves with white and pink bands. Beyond the Dracaena Marginata varieties, you'll find cousins like the Canary Islands dragon tree - the extended family is just as wonderful.


How does the Dracaena Marginata ‘Red Dragon’ get its name?

The name comes from the Greek word 'drakaina' meaning 'female dragon,' while 'marginata' refers to those beautiful distinctive leaf margins. The 'Red Dragon' variety gets its name from those striking red edges and overall mythical, dragon-like appearance.


Historically, some Dracaena species produce a red resin called "dragon's blood" that was used for dyes and medicines. The combination of the exotic, almost mystical look and those fiery red leaf edges makes the dragon connection feel perfectly natural!


Does a Dracaena plant purify air? 

Your Dracaena Marginata isn't just beautiful - it's working quietly behind the scenes as part of your clean-air team! NASA's Clean Air Study found these plants help remove indoor toxins like formaldehyde, benzene, and xylene from your air.


Don't expect miracle-level purification from just one plant, though. The real-world effect is modest unless you're creating your own indoor jungle (which honestly sounds delightful!). Think of air purification as a wonderful bonus feature rather than its main job - it's already stunning enough just being itself!


Do Dracaena like bathrooms? 

Your Dracaena Marginata 'Red Dragon' absolutely loves spa-like bathroom conditions! Bathrooms with decent indirect light are like luxury retreats for these humidity-loving plants. They'll soak up all that shower steam like you’ve booked them in for a five-star treatment.


What is the life span of a Dracaena plant?

Your Dracaena Marginata 'Red Dragon' is in this for the long haul. These plants typically live 5-15 years indoors, but with loving care, they can stick around even longer, like that wonderful friend who's always there when you need them.


How long does it take a Dragon Tree to fully grow? 

Your Dracaena Marginata 'Red Dragon' isn't rushing anywhere; it's taking the scenic route through life! These slow-growing beauties take their sweet time, needing about 8-10 years to reach their full indoor height of around 6 feet (1.8 meters).

Impressive Product Overall
Digital Storage Capacity: 8 GB, Offer Type: Ad-Supported, Color: Black, Option: Without Kindle Unlimited, Digital Storage Capacity: 8 GB, Offer Type: Ad-Supported, Color: Black, Option: Without Kindle Unlimited
I bought the Kindle Paperwhite 2018 edition, 8 GB of storage with Special Offers for myself because up until I received it, I've been reading with the Kindle app on my Samsung Galaxy S9 phone instead. While the Kindle app on my phone was great, my eyes were really straining on the smaller screen and I'm a voracious reader. I was looking for something in a larger screen, but won't utilize the other feature and capabilities of a tablet, and beyond Kindle have no use for one at all. Overall, I'm highly impressed with this little Kindle device. I want to start by mentioning the Special Offers, as in all the reviews I read and heard about the device, the Special Offers weren't more than a footnote. They aren't intrusive at all, it's just on the main screen and that's it. They don't interrupt reading at all, and the Kindle Paperwhite personalized my Special Offers based on my reading, Kindle browsing history, and purchases so a lot of the ads that come through are actually interesting to me and in fact one or two of the ads have made me drool enough to purchase whatever book they were trying to peddle. That is definitely a plus, and yet a terrible thing because I AM such a voracious reader and I know I'm going to be spending a lot more money on Kindle books but at least the majority of the ads are tailored to the type of books I enjoy reading. I'm definitely not complaining about the Special Offers, nor will I pay to have them removed when the next ad that is displayed on my Kindle's screen might be a book I might like. Some may find the ads annoying just because it's an ad, but I find it enjoyable and definitely not intrusive in the slightest. The battery life - the Kindle came out of the box at 60% battery life and took virtually no time at all to charge to 100% on my phone's quick charger. I spent from 3 pm until almost 11 pm doing nothing but reading (when I said I'm a voracious reader, I meant it). My Kindle went from 100% battery to only 81% and from 11 pm until 8:30 am, only lost 2% battery. That is absolutely amazing to me and worth every penny I spent on the Kindle. I can't do that with my phone or a tablet; those batteries drain so quickly but this Kindle will last me all day long and still won't need to be charged at night. That's such a huge plus for a reader like me! The light on the Kindle Paperwhite is amazing, and even in my dimly lit room I don't need to have it much above 5 or 6 on the brightness. Although my phone boasts an almost 6" screen, truly the Kindle screen is much larger and thus much easier to read especially with the matte finish. My eyes strain far less on the Kindle even with almost a solid 8 or more hours of nothing but reading. This Kindle screen isn't too large, but it's definitely not too small either, it's just right. It's almost like you have a physical book in your hand, as far as relative size goes, though a little larger than your common paperback. I don't use Audible because I can't pay attention to a book when I'm listening to it being read to me, so the 8 GB of storage (more like close to 6 GB usable), holds plenty of books for me. I only have just a handful downloaded at any one point in time, but even the 10 or so books I have downloaded at once still doesn't take the storage space down anywhere near the 5 GB mark. So 8 GB is more than plenty for just regular printed books if you're like me and suddenly develop a case of A.D.D. when it comes to audiobooks. The speed of the device is just fine too. I won't say it's excellent compared to my Galaxy S9, but that's apples and oranges. For an e-reader the speed is great. There is just a little lag, but not enough to become anything beyond just barely noticeable. It's not annoying at all. It takes maybe a second or so to respond. When turning the page, even reading at a quick pace I'm able to keep up with the story on the next page from where it left off without interruption. The overall build quality is excellent. It is light weight and thinner than I expected. Yes it's plastic, but it doesn't feel cheaply made. It's comfortable to hold in one hand, or two if you like. The only thing I would change about the build is the power button - maybe I'm just used to them being on the right side of the device near the top... but the only thing I would change is the placement of the button. Overall, I'm very satisfied and impressed with my purchase. This was an excellent buy, and my next Kindle purchase is going to be one for a couple other people in my life who read just as voraciously as I do.

Excited to read!
Digital Storage Capacity: 32 GB, Offer Type: Ad-Supported, Color: Black, Option: Without Kindle Unlimited
This review is based on two months of daily use. I purchased a Kindle without really knowing much about them. I have always been against electronic books because I have always enjoyed the feeling of pages in between my fingers. However, circumstances have made me change my beliefs, mostly not having a nightstand with a light, and books can be bulky for a bike traveler like myself. So let me just begin with a couple of negatives. A couple of my favorite features about actual books is able to leaf back through pages and re-read portions that I misremembered, or that I really enjoyed. Reading on a Kindle makes that difficult because "leafing through" could take forever, especially if you don't recall the area in which the passage occurs. I'm also a big highlighter and margin note-taker in books so I can analyze. Although you can highlight with Kindles, for me, it's just not the same. Finally, Kindle's touch screen can be hit or miss - sometimes I will want to go forward, but the page might be back. Load times for the main screen, or cycling through, can be obnoxious. And just looking through Amazon's library to find a book? Forget about it! A lot of the novels on their suggested books, or top sellers, are "adult" novels, or easy reads. It's very difficult to find a book when you just want to discover a new author or title. Now for the benefits - my favorite feature is integrating Good Reads. It tracks my reading, the books I've read, and the books I want to read. Not only that, but it will give me suggestions based on the books I have saved or I have read. That takes care of the Amazon library problem. The backlight and the battery life are phenomenal! I can go a week without charging my Kindle, and I read it for about 90 minutes a day. It might be attributed to my backlight always being fairly low. I don't really see a reason to raise it above a third of the meter. Finally, the Kindle is small enough to fit in the back pocket of jeans. It's lightweight and waterproof. Basically, it's built for travel. As someone who walks and bikes everywhere, it makes reading on a go so much easier than carrying around a bulky or heavy book. I am grateful for this purchase. Even though it isn't an actual book, I look forward to reading on my Kindle, and if I fall in love with a new book I'm reading on my Kindle, I know that it will be worth the $15 to buy the physical copy and collect dust on my bookshelf!

Pinhole Bright Spots and Other Issues
Digital Storage Capacity: 8 GB, Offer Type: Ad-Supported, Color: Black, Option: Without Kindle Unlimited, Digital Storage Capacity: 8 GB, Offer Type: Ad-Supported, Color: Black, Option: Without Kindle Unlimited
Updated Review on Oct 6, 2019: After nearly a year of using it, I noticed that the issues I mentioned in the original review were largely negligible while reading. The pinhole near the corner was never bothersome because I'd have to remember to look very closely to see it. The battery can last for a long time during hibernation, even for many many weeks if not used. I also hardly remember to notice the uneven screen color temperature. The only thing that's still a bit inconvenient is the glare. When near a window I'd have to adjust my reading angle to avoid the glare. It's something hard to overcome with a digital device and it's not a big compromise for light-weight and convenience. Therefore please take my original review below with a grain of salt, I was nitpicking on a device that I had a lot of expectations for. I also decided to change the 3 stars to 4 stars. Original review on Nov 12, 2018 (with updates on Jan 26, 2019): I have owned a Kindle Paperwhite since 2014. I really liked that old one and gifted it away a while ago. Perhaps I have had too much expectation for this new 2018 version (waited for many months for the release), I felt quite disappointed with a few of its issues. First I must be clear that I am a fan of e-books, and I think Kindle Paperwhite has always been a nice device, light, easy to use, easier on the eyes than an LCD screen, easy to look up words, etc. I also used a Kindle Oasis for a couple of days, I don't feel comfortable with the hard slick aluminum back, and its front lights are located on the sides, so the slight uneven light can be observed from left to right; while for Paperwhite with bottom lights, the unevenness is from top to bottom, meaning within each text line, the light is usually even, therefore less distracting to reading. Here comes the new 2018 Paperwhite: I like the screen is flat with the bezels now. However, both the first device I received and the subsequent replacement have a bright pinhole dot under the screen (see photos). It's like a piece of tiny defect or dust above the e-ink text and located in the light distribution layer (my guess). When the front light is adjusted to a high level, the dot becomes quite bright and distracting. I was surprised the second device had the same issue (just my luck or something else is going on here?), but because it's near the corner, I decided to live with it. This pinhole bright spot issue apparently can be found on the previous generations as well based on many reviews, I am just astonished Amazon hasn't fixed it. Also, I don't know what happened with the charging cable, it took me a lot of effort to plug it into the device, and pull it out, it's like as if the connectors are not made well. (Update Jan 26, 2019: the difficulty of plugging in the cable only occurred during the first couple of uses, it became normal and smooth later.) Also, the screen feels easier to smudge than my old Paperwhite. The texts appear slightly blurrier where there are fingerprints. Another issue is that the screen has a ton of reflection from bright windows or light sources (please see my photo, taken under an east-facing window in the afternoon). I don’t remember if it has always been like this or it’s because of the new screen update. Even with the window blinds shut, I had to tilt Kindle to certain angles to avoid the glare, albeit softer than on an LCD screen, still quite distracting. Under the same lighting, a real paperback has no reflection glare issues. Furthermore, when front light is on and when external ambient light is somewhat dim, my replacement Kindle Paperwhite appears a bit yellower near the bottom, especially on the left side, it’s distracting but hopefully, I’ll get used to it. It’s like real paper books getting old and parts of pages turning yellow—I try to convince myself. (Update Jan 26, 2019: other reviewers have mentioned issues with poor battery life. My experience is similar that if I don't use it for a few hours, even with WiFi turned on, the device will enter something like a hibernation mode, which requires a bit more time to wake up, but it allows the battery to last for many weeks if left on the shelf. If I read about 1-2 hours a day with wifi on, the battery drains very quickly, and will hardly last beyond a week. However, If you keep airplane mode on during reading, it will significantly conserve battery, the only inconvenience is that if you don't know a word and the dictionary also doesn't have it, which is quite likely the case, Wikipedia won't be able to show up without WiFi.) Perhaps I’m just asking too much for a digital device. Overall, it’s still a great device to read books, and Amazon still provided a fast replacement when I asked. However, with these experiences, I can no longer swear to e-readers. I don’t write reviews often, but I feel strongly about this product and sincerely hope it will help fellow costumers and help Amazon improve their devices.

Don't be drama, this is a great kindle.
Digital Storage Capacity: 8 GB, Offer Type: Ad-Supported, Color: Black, Option: Without Kindle Unlimited
My wife attempted to buy the previous generation Kindle, because of some of the negative reviews about this kindle. Thankfully Target didn't have the previous gen so she got me this one instead. I love it, it is light, has a super fast page turn, it's nice knowing that a little splash of coffee won't kill it and it has made me a fan of kindle reading all over again. The backlight is perfect, and turning it all the way down is perfect for reading in the day/sun. I am back to my minimalist ways after getting tired of books piling up around the house. Here are a couple of the negative comments that people have been leaving. 1. "the glare, oh the glare, how can it say anti-glare and then I go out in the sun and I have to squint!" First of all, that's just drama. Try wearing sunglasses next time you are outside or sit in the shade. I am pretty sure, the last I checked, even paper books can be hard to see without them. First day I had it, sat by the pool all day and read. Not once did I notice a glare. 2. "the slick glass layout of the design makes it prone to chipping, my toddler knocked it off the couch and it chipped the screen a little bit." hmmm, I have toddlers. You leaving your device in their reach is not the kindle's fault. They are known to destroy everything in their path, and no fortress is strong enough to withstand their furry. This is definitely a "you" problem. 3. Here are some highlights of other comments. “It’s infuriating that Amazon went to market with this machine. Do not upgrade from prior Paperwhites.” Amazon producing a new kindle is infuriating? Forget everything I know about human rights issues. Sound the alarm bells. “To unlock the device, it goes through a long “waking up” period where the backlight is turned up full blast for some reason. It then reverts to your normal backlight setting after unlocking. I blind myself every night reading in bed.” Please just go to a doctor, any doctor. They should be able to help you with these feelings. “Bottom line: this is not a finished product, and they shoved it out the door because they wanted to have it out for Christmas.” Hey you are the one who wanted it for Christmas, so there is that part of it as well. “Without Wi-Fi, you can't use it.” Yeah that’s been true for a decade now. But since it’s waterproof, you can use it as a coaster. I am being sarcastic because people are drama about the funniest things. It’s a great kindle. Buy one, and remember you do need Wifi lol.

Perfect size though smaller than expected
Digital Storage Capacity: 8 GB, Offer Type: Ad-Supported, Color: Twilight Blue, Option: Without Kindle Unlimited
I love my kindle paperwhite so far, I've had it a week now and love the portability of it! It is so lightweight and I really have been able to read it anywhere. I love that I got 15% off AND a $20 ebook credit, that made getting it for myself for my 40th birthday an even better deal! I was stoked! I had a kindle shortly after they first came out and wasn't really sold on the e-reader vs an actual book experience. I loved the concept of it, just not the actual product at the time, BUT as I've gotten older and more used to reading on a screen (I use my kindle app on my phone quite a bit) I really craved something that doesn't have all the extra distractions of emails, text messages etc. popping up while I'm reading, plus I'm on my phone way too much already anyway, AND I loved the idea that I could take it in the bathtub with me (I will not do that with my phone). So when this deal popped up and it was close to my birthday I got so excited to treat myself that I originally ordered it without adding the code for the deal itself....whoops! But I contacted customer service and they assured me I could cancel and reorder it without issue so I did. Now, I'm not sure if I messed something up here but my order took forever to process after this and after multiple chats with customer service was told my bank was authorizing then deauthorizing it but after this particular chat session it finally switched to shipped and showed it would arrive on August 31st (10 days after my birthday when I had ordered it 5 days before my birthday). To be fair when I ordered it I was given a window of Aug 18-Sept 1st (on prime delivery mind you) and because I work for a shipping company I figured that much like we have to deal with an influx of more orders than usual due to covid that this was an over cautious estimation but as it turns out, it was not. Now, when I contacted my bank they also assured me that they do not authorize and deauthorize charges like that and it had to be on the other end so with that knowledge it does upset me that I am paying for a 2 day shipping service (that I do not use all that much to even justify the cost I'm paying) that I now have to wait 2-3 weeks for, so that's really the only complaint I have at this time, the product itself I am in love with. I was surprised by the size of it, I am terrible at interpreting dimensions by measurements and sometimes even the comparison pictures don't quite sink in so when I opened the box and saw how slim the box it actually comes it was I was shocked and then when I opened that and saw that the kindle itself was about half the size of that I felt kind of disappointed at first until I realized how perfect the size really is, I can hold it comfortably in one hand and it's lighter than most books, not to mention I don't have to hold the pages open as well so those are all pluses for me, (even though I absolutely adore books and own tons of them also and never want to get rid of them either) I love that I can get a brand new book delivered instantly to my device without having to go anywhere, BUT books I love the tactile feeling of plus anytime illustrations or pictures are included they are much better in the book, especially since this is only black and white though this isn't a deal breaker as most pictures in the books I read aren't usually so integral to the story that I need to see them in color, though if I was reading the kids picture books I got way back when my son was small I'd want the color for that. I am also new to Audible and see I can hook my device to a bluetooth device to listen to but have not tried that yet to let you know (I usually do this on my phone) whether I like it on this device or not but if I do eventually try it I will update the review.
