This is a very slow-growing species but one that is very long-lived. In the garden, it can take as much as 25 years to reach 25 feet, but its slow-growing nature can be an advantage for an indoor plant, as the dragon tree will take many years to outgrow its space.

• Temperature and Humidity D. draco is more cold-tolerant than other Dracaena species and can briefly tolerate temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. In native settings, this plant absorbs most of its moisture from the air rather than the soil, so you may find it helpful to humidify indoor air, especially during dry winter months.
• Fertilizer Feed your plants every six months with controlled-release fertilizer. Well-fed plants will develop a slightly reddish tinge to the edges of the leaves.
