Size and Growing Conditions

Dragon Trees typically grow 3–5 metres tall outdoors and can be maintained smaller indoors. They prefer bright, indirect light indoors or full sun in sheltered outdoor spots. Well-drained soil is essential to avoid root rot. Water moderately, allowing the soil to dry between watering. This drought-tolerant plant thrives in warmer NZ climates but benefits from frost protection in colder areas.

Ideal Uses in NZ Homes and Gardens

Dracaena Draco is perfect as a feature plant indoors or as a striking specimen tree outdoors. Its architectural form makes it ideal for patios, courtyards, and modern landscapes. Use it to create tropical style or add height and drama to your garden design. It’s also suitable for large indoor spaces, offices, and foyers.
