🌿 Dracaena marginata — Madagascar Dragon Tree

Dracaena marginata, known as the Madagascar Dragon Tree, is an elegant, low-maintenance houseplant that brings a touch of the exotic to any interior space. Native to Madagascar, it is an evergreen shrub or small tree with a distinctively architectural form. Slender, upright stems topped with tufts of long, narrow, sword-shaped leaves create a bold silhouette, often likened to a miniature palm. The leaves are typically deep green edged with fine red or purple margins, though there are attractive variegated cultivars with cream, yellow, or pink accents. Over time, the lower leaves naturally shed, exposing bare, cane-like stems and giving the plant a tiered, sculptural appearance. It is slow-growing, tolerant of varied indoor conditions, and highly adaptable to container life, making it a favourite for home and office environments alike. In addition to its visual appeal, Dracaena marginata is known for its air-purifying properties, helping to remove common indoor toxins. With minimal care needs and a contemporary look, this dragon tree is an ideal choice for beginners and design-conscious plant owners alike.


☀️ Light Requirements

  • Indoors: Prefers bright, indirect light but is highly tolerant of lower light levels.

  • Direct sun: Can tolerate some morning sun, but avoid strong, direct midday sunlight, which may scorch the leaves.

  • Low light: Growth may slow, and leaf colouration may fade, but the plant will survive.


🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

  • Ideal temperature range: 18–27°C (65–80°F)

  • Minimum: Keep above 10°C (50°F); avoid cold draughts and sudden temperature fluctuations.

  • Humidity: Average household humidity is sufficient, but occasional misting can be beneficial, especially in dry environments.


💧 Watering Needs

  • When to water: Allow the top 3–5 cm (1–2 in) of soil to dry out between waterings.

  • Watering tip: Less is more—Dracaena is sensitive to overwatering and prefers slightly dry conditions.

  • Water quality: Fluoride in tap water can cause leaf tip burn; use filtered or rainwater if possible.


🪴 Soil & Repotting

  • Soil type: Well-draining, loamy compost or a standard houseplant mix with added perlite.

  • pH preference: Slightly acidic to neutral (6.0–7.0)

  • Repotting: Every 2–3 years, or when roots begin to outgrow the container.


🌱 Feeding

  • Active growth period (spring to summer): Feed once a month with a balanced liquid houseplant fertiliser.

  • Dormant period (autumn to winter): Feeding can be reduced or paused.


✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

  • Pruning: Trim tall or leggy stems to encourage bushier growth. New shoots will emerge from just below the cut.

  • Leaf care: Remove any yellowing or dead leaves at the base; wipe leaves with a damp cloth to keep them clean and glossy.

  • Styling tip: Can be grown as a single tall stem or trained to branch for a fuller appearance. Multiple plants are often potted together for a more dramatic display.


🌾 Propagation

  • Stem cuttings: Take sections of stem (10–15 cm), allow to callous for a day, then root in water or soil.

  • Air layering: An effective method for mature plants to encourage rooted shoots along the stem.

  • Cane propagation: Horizontal sections of the stem can also produce new shoots when laid on moist soil.


🐛 Pests & Problems

  • Common pests: Spider mites, scale insects, mealybugs

  • Symptoms: Leaf spotting, yellowing tips, webbing, or sticky residue

  • Treatment: Wipe affected areas with a damp cloth or treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil.

  • Common issues:

    • Yellow/brown tips: Often caused by fluoride, overwatering, or low humidity

    • Leaf drop: May occur due to sudden changes in light, temperature, or water stress


🧤 Toxicity & Safety

  • Toxicity: Toxic to cats and dogs if ingested; may cause vomiting, drooling, and lack of coordination.

  • Pet safety tip: Best kept out of reach of pets who like to chew on plants.


🏡 Indoor Care Highlights

  • Excellent air-purifier – known to filter benzene, formaldehyde, and trichloroethylene from indoor air.

  • Ideal for modern interiors due to its clean, upright structure.

  • Suitable for both bright and lower-light rooms.

  • Perfect for beginner plant owners due to its forgiving nature.

Second Chance Romance
Format: Kindle
Minor spoilers in this one, but I feel like they aren’t really spoilers.. it’s a second chance romance soo, but wanted to give the opportunity for some to not read the review if minor spoilers are an issue! Thank you to Erica Goodwin for the ARC! This is my first physical ARC and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to read Take Two before its release! I love reading about women in entertainment, so I was really excited to read this. I will say that it is usually a hit or miss for me when reading a second chance romance. Most of the time, I feel like the couple broke up for a reason. I was very interested in what happened between Gemma and Caitlin when they broke up. This leads me to Caitlin.I liked her in the beginning. But I’m not going to lie, the more I learned about her and how she treated Gemma (yes, they were in high school, but still), it made it really hard for me to like her. I understand being terrified of discovering feelings for a girl, especially at the age of 15/16ish. So while I hate what happened, it makes sense. But it’s a different story when you are in college and doing the same thing that you ALREADY DID TO YOUR GIRLFRIEND!! I adored Gemma, so I believe that made my dislike of Caitlin more. I don’t think she is a bad person, but I just wish she would be more mindful of how her actions affect others. This is lack of mindfulness is shown with the Michelle situation as well. Gemma is an angel. I loved that she was unapologetically an out lesbian in high school. It was refreshing to see that she didn’t care about what others thought and didn’t shy away from showing affection to her girlfriend. I loved the friendships in this book as well. Maddie did make Caitlin a little more bearable by calling her out on her crap. That’s a real friend right there. Someone who doesn’t just placate their friends is friend everyone needs. Hayley and Gemma’s friendship was adorable as well. I definitely resonated with Hayley and her protectiveness of Gemma. It’s hard to see your friend so heartbroken and I understand her wanting to make sure her best friend isn’t hurt like that again. I would love to read a romance that featured Hayley or Maddie. The besties deserve their own romance novel. I did start to like Caitlin towards the end, but I did wish that we saw more of them together as adults, especially before what happened in the last couple of chapters. I felt like it was too soon to take that step without actually seeing if Caitlin’s actions would match her words this time. I need to see her evolve more. As I stated earlier, the writing is amazing, that’s not in question. I just had a hard time liking Caitlin. I’d give the book 3.75- 4 stars, I can’t decide, so I will round it up to 4 stars. Take Two is a real, raw and messy second chance romance. I can’t wait to read more in the NYC series (I think I know who the next couple will be) and also read the author’s other standalone book!

Loved this book
Format: Kindle
This book is so full of love, passion and anguish. The MC are so well developed that you feel what they are going through every step of the way. You get so invested in wanting them to have a happy ending but it doesn't appear it will happen. I highly recommend this book.

beautiful sapphic second chance
Format: Kindle
I could not put this book down, I devoured it in one day! A heartfelt sapphic romance that pulled you in from the start. Gemma and Caitlin’s dual POVs and dual timelines was done effortlessly. Seeing the struggles of a high school romance was so relatable. Then flash forward to the present when they were forced into each other’s lives after nine years because they were cast in the same movie! The cross between past, present, and the movie being filmed was full of angst, longing, regret, and hit me on every emotional level. I could not recommend this book more!

Missed the Mark *Spoilers*
Format: Kindle
I was surprised by the author’s bio because at times it felt like this book was written by an adolescent imagining what filming a movie would be like. I really enjoyed certain parts of the book, especially the flashbacks to HS, the flirtatious note-writing and the botched Spanish terms of endearment. But the main feeling I had reading it was whiplash, in terms of all the back-and-forth between the MCs. Even at almost 30 years old, they both felt emotionally immature. **Spoilers Ahead** It was odd to me that when they finally confronted their past, it was in terms of the summer after their sophomore year of HS, rather than the big breakup when they were in college. Skipping ahead, the Paris ending felt very abrupt and out of character. I also felt that certain side characters (Troy, Darbie, Emily, etc.) were very two-dimensional and discarded easily where it would’ve been interesting to see their reactions to the MCs’ relationship. I can see where the author laid the groundwork for a good series, it definitely has potential. This book just missed the mark for me.
