About the Dracaena Marginata

Dracaena marginata ‘Sunray’ hails from Madagascar’s dry forests, where she lifts slender canes crowned by rosettes of green and yellow blades. Indoors, Mara brings sleek architecture and low-drama polish to modern rooms.


She thrives in bright, indirect light and tolerates partial shade; shield from harsh summer sun. Water when the top layer dries, then drain—moist, never soggy. A quick leaf wipe keeps her streaks gleaming; rotate monthly for balance. We ship her snug in a sturdy, plant-safe box with protective sleeves so she arrives fresh, healthy, and undamaged—ready to settle in. Design statement and wellness booster in one, she’s easy to live with and striking to look at.


Did you know?

Dracaena canes are often tip-pruned and rooted, creating a multi-tiered, branching form that stays slim on the floor while reaching upward, so Mara fits tight footprints yet delivers airy height for years. Use a well-draining mix, avoid standing water, and keep her away from cold drafts for steady, confident growth.

Why the living room?

This plant is perfect for the living room because it brings instant drama and tropical charm with minimal effort. Her canes and upright leaves make a striking statement, while freshening the air you breathe. Though she’s not safe for curious pets or children, she’s ideal for stylish, adult-friendly spaces. Low-maintenance, air-cleansing, and full of presence—Mara was made for this room.

Position: Floor

Place Mara as a statement Floor plant near a bright, indirect window, a few metres back or behind sheer curtains. Give her room to rise and space from walls. Avoid drafts, radiators, and blasting AC; partial shade is fine. A living room corner works beautifully. Rotate monthly for balance. Not pet friendly, so style in adult spaces or out of reach indoors.

Growth Habit: Upright

Straight, strong stems that reach toward the ceiling.

Soil: Well-Draining

Choose a well-draining, airy mix so Mara’s roots stay oxygenated yet comfortably moist. Use premium potting soil boosted with chunky perlite, a handful of fine bark, and a little washed sand for flow. Avoid heavy, peat-laden blends and standing water. Let water run through freely, then reset between drinks—damp, never dense—to keep canes steady, leaf edges crisp, and growth elegant indoors year-round.

Propagation: Stem Cuttings

Propagate Dracaena marginata by STEM CUTTINGS. Take 10–15 cm cane or a tip cutting below a node, remove lower leaves, and let cuts dry briefly. Root in water or an airy mix (potting soil + perlite); optional rooting hormone helps. Keep bright-indirect, warm, and humid; avoid direct sun. Air-layer thicker canes for higher success. Plant once roots reach 3–5 cm. Change water; be patient.

Bright, Indirect

Mara thrives in bright, indirect light and tolerates partial shade; avoid harsh midday sun. Set her metres from windows or behind sheer curtains. More light sharpens variegation; rotate monthly for even, balanced growth.

Moderate

Give Mara moderate watering: let the top 5 cm dry, then water deeply and drain. Weekly in spring and summer; ease off in cooler months. Use room-temperature water, avoid soggy roots, empty saucers.

Novice

Mara is easy—bright, indirect light or partial shade, moderate watering, and well-draining mix. Let top soil dry, then drain. Avoid sun and drafts. Rotate; wipe leaves to keep stripes crisp.

Medium

Mara prefers low to medium humidity—steady, comfortable air over muggy rooms. Keep her away from heaters and blasting AC. Grouping or a pebble tray helps in dry homes; misting keeps leaf edges soft.
