The name Dracaena is Latin for She-Dragon, hence the name Dragon Tree! It's easily recognizable with it long, sword-shaped leaves. As it ages, it will develop a narrow trunk, making it into a small tree. This slow-growing plant has high contrast white, green, gray-green variegation. 

• Light: Indirect Sunlight – This plant needs at least some natural light so place it somewhere with windows nearby.
• Water: Thirsty – This plant can only go 1 to 2 weeks without water so check weekly and water when the top two inches of soil dry out.
• Tips: Like many houseplants, it would rather be too dry than too wet so if you are unsure about whether it needs water, wait a day or two and check again.
