Looking very much like a palm tree in miniature, Dracaena marginata (also known as the Madagascar dragon tree) is an evergreen shrub with a crown of long, sword-shaped, dark green leaves, finely edged with reddish-brown. A superb, low-maintenance houseplant that has few problems.
Dragon trees need a bright position which makes them an ideal candidate for a light windowsill out of direct sunlight and away from artificial heat sources such as radiators. They're slow growing too, taking around 10 years to get to 5ft, so won't overtake your home.
As well as being super-easy to grow, Dracaena is well known for helping keep the air in your home clean as it filters out pollutants keeping it fresh and clean - according to NASA, this plant can remove formaldehyde, xylene, and toluene, found in furniture, fireplace smoke, and common household products.
Perfect for displaying in this Dark Grey Plastic Houseplant Pot cover. It has simple but stylish design and is made from recycled plastic. It is just the thing for covering up the unsightly nursery pot and will effortlessly coordinate your plant with your existing decor.
Pot covers are watertight and don't have any drainage holes, this will allow you to place them on your favourite pieces of furniture without the worry of spoiling the surfaces when watering. Easy to use, it's best to remove your plant before watering and allow the water to drain completely out of the plant before placing it back into the pot.
Supplied as 1 x established plant in a 17cm pot & 1 x dark grey plastic pot cover (Diameter: 18cm, Height: 17cm).

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.
