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.

Wolverine, Warpath, Wolfsbane and X-23 (+Angel). PA fun.
Format: Kindle
Writers: Kyle & Yost. Artist: Crain. Darkly drawn: blacks, grays, steel blues and vibrant reds, gory, depictive of graphic violence – as this is what X-Force is all about. They’re a hit squad, folks out for blood, and serious about it. This one comes with advisories against the kiddies. It is essentially a gore-fest. The graphic nature aside, and as well as inclusively, this is very well drawn / colored by Crain. The gorgeous yellows of Magus, the blur of red the first time Wolverine punches Cyclops, the panel expression shots of Rahne – excellent work, and it translates pretty nicely as well – but that’s also where it’s major drawback lies. In panel over panel format it’s done in pretty linear fashion (mostly top to bottom). In some regards this works better for this particular Kindle version as the panels CANNOT BE ENLARGED BY TILTING the Kindle itself – the one thing I found annoying about it. In this regard it really takes away from the art, which is definitely worth examining, and it also takes away from the reading experience – as I would often find myself readjusting the Kindle to reading distance from artistic distance, or vice-versa. The dialogue for nearly each issue opens with a stream of consciousness – you get to see inside a particular character’s thought process, and consequently, where they are bumping up against walls in their discourse and interactions with other members of the team. From this point we get the bubbled language and somewhat choppy discourse between the characters. In my experience with this, I can say I felt the pace of the story quick, maybe too quick. It’s secondary villain (Risman) is built off of ‘The New X-Men’ (2004), which is pretty neat, turning the concept a bit, striking it at a different angle – for instance, what if X-Force intervened against Risman’s campaign, in large-part because it got personal, well: this is what you’d get. There’s even a bit of a sentimental lean (not sexual tension) to the story from two of our protagonists: Warpath and Rahne. Should make it interesting. SPOILERS: Angels & Demons, Part 1: We see the unfolding of the chain of command / villainy (Reverend William Stryker – Matthew Risman & his Purifiers and a mutant-hating sentinel: Nimrod’s head + Bastion’s body = ?), and the selection of the group members to represent X-Force, Wolverine to head the group consisting of: X-23 (Laura Kinney), Wolfsbane (Rahne), and Warpath (James Proudstar). We learn their mission target is the Purifiers who had snuck into (with inside help) the Xavier Institute, killed 16 students and then stole Nimrod’s severed head. Specifically the hit is put out for Matthew Risman. X-Force creeps up on their first mission with zilch for a game plan. That’s why we see at the end of Part 1, Rahne has already been captured and presumably assassinated. To blame: her haste, and Wolverine not wanting any of them there to begin with. Angels & Demons, Part 2: X-23, apparently the most prone to risk amongst the group (Wolverine’s clone, has undergone intensive punishment), triggers a bomb, leveling the North Dakota church that Risman has X-Force pinned down and nearly captured. Wolfsbane is absconded with yet again by Risman and Wolverine confronts Cycolps, as Wolverine knew it a bad idea to bring her along, de facto. We encounter Rahne’s back-story with ‘Reverend Craig’, a non-mutant Purifier who is also, twistedly, Rahne’s father. Commence drugging and lecturing about her sinfulness. This is called ‘Delivering’ and according to Reverend Craig it feels ‘righteous’. Reverend Risman is usurped by Bastion who now officially heads the mutant extermination operation. He calls upon his nascent techno-organic pet from the sea – ‘Magus’. Angels & Demons, Part 3: This edition circles around the resurrection of Magus, and Bastion’s assembling a type of consortium of resurrected players, presumably upon which to feed Magus. The names include: Donald Pierce (Leader of the Reavers), Reverend William Stryker (aforementioned), and Bolivar Trask (creator of the Sentinels). Risman apparently fails to kill Rahne as Bastion had commanded. He seems to be knowingly lying to him. Risman wants Reverend Stryker’s plan carried out, and he’s willing to fight Bastion on this point. Because of Risman’s purposeful neglect the group recovers Rahne, but she’s OD’d on heroin. This section of the work does a stellar job pushing Warpath as a likable character, true tough guy, but still sensitive – as a lot of his feeling is projected toward Rahne. Angels & Demons, Part 4: Rahne recovers with an assist from Elixer, who was beckoned by Angel to dilute her blood. When Rahne recovers she see’s Angel and goes berserk, transforming and ultimately tearing off his wings. These she delivers to Risman before, again, remember who she is and what she’d done under the brainwashing of Reverend Craig. With these wings, non-organic, supernatural wings – any army of metal winged mutant assassins will be created. ‘The Choir’. Much of Part 4 is X-23’s outlook on Wolverine. It’s interesting how her analysis of him is very subjective and entirely confusing for her. She denotes her back-history as consisting of embryonic development for the Weapon-X project. She’s nearly the perfect war machine, and to see her confusion surrounding her own lack of feeling is… almost humanizing, per se. Angels & Demons, Part 5: After acquiring Angels wings Bastion sets Risman up to take the fall, as he uses the reincarnation of William Stryker as his personal mouth piece to denounce Risman. Risman’s ‘Choir’, men who’ve had surgically implanted metal wings, on behalf of DNA meshing with Angel’s wings, sets out to assassinate as many Purifiers sided with Bastion as possible. This issue closes with their confrontation. Risman has stated that he would crush the alien known as ‘Magus’ and then ‘the Oracle himself’. Brother Eli is coming along for moral support. Meanwhile, Angel has become Archangel. And he’s not one iota happy about having had his wings taken from him. X-Force attempts to distract him, but the trio take quite a whooping, while Rahne is transforming and escaping the clutches of the Purifiers. I’d much wished she’d offed her father (Reverend Craig) when she had the chance… *disappointed face* Part 5, something akin to Part 4, stars Matthew Risman as the introductory narrator. The spring-well from which the story comes forth, who’s thoughts, politics and perspectives are intertwined with the dialogue – in this particular case to show that Risman, rather than Bastion, is the more likable villain… or simply the lesser of the two evils. Angels and Demons, Part 6: Entering the ensuing battle more toward the end, Wolverine makes a recount of the events that led up to the carnage they walked in upon. Archangel slaughtered as many Purifiers as he could (meaning: all of them) in efforts to find his wings – which he successfully does. Risman has his cranium opened up by X-23 and Wolverine takes on Bastion. Bastion escapes but not without revealing his Consortium of mutant slaughtering regenerates. At this juncture the story takes on the typical multi-villain arch common to so many. An assembly, a hit-force, which eventually fails… because it has to. Rahne finally does get the opportunity to avenge herself. Will the psychological scars of her actions torment the rest of her existence? With Bastion on the loose, his 7 villain super-team currently stoic puppets & Eli Bard in apparent control of Magus, in what manner will X-Force continue the fight in ‘X-Force Volume 2: Old Ghosts’?

Story develops well. And X Force characters are intriguingly likable, as is their developing story.
Format: Kindle
Wolverine's point of view works well for navigating this story, as X Force is put back together to face familiar enemies. However descent among their foes takes this plot left field and sets up an even bigger stage for a bigger showdown. The book is only six chapters, but they all tie in flawlessly, and the story and character relationships with each other are masterfully crafted . Can't wait to read vol.2. I strongly recommend you read this if you are considering it . The characters are all likable and keep you interested . Edgier darker X-men, but not emo. Cool. And this story develops well.

Best of a “Good” situation
This graphic novel arrived in the best “Good” level condition I’ve ever seen. It appeared to be an ex library copy that had excellent protection tape on the cover. I peeled that off and have perfect cover and barely any wear on the pages/binding. The novel itself was epic too.

Great Great Great
With the extinction of mutants a very real possibly and some very nasty enemies plotting terrible things Cyclops decides the time is nigh to put together a Black-Ops style squad to hunt and kill the most extreme threats to mutant kind. Thus begins this series of X-Force and it begins with a bang I must say. Fantastic art, brutal violence, X-Men with blades %^&*ing ^%$# up... what's not to love?

Good read
Format: Kindle
It's a sign of laziness & lack of creative skill to cast some American Christian group as the twisted bad guys (note to Marvel: it's been done - hire better writers) but hey, I guess some folk are ok publishing & cashing their paychecks with offensive material. As long as you don't take this book as serious as it takes itself, you'll be able to distract yourself with some mindless, formulaic fun. Read this on kindle; even brightness all the way up, images still a bit too dark. It would also be great if kindle allowed pinch-zoom to see more detail in the frames instead of double tap to call out a frame. other than that this is a decent offering, quick, fun read.
