Dracaena 'Colorama'

Dracaena Colorama 🌈🌿 is loved for its narrow arching leaves edged in pink, red, and green, giving it a bright, spiky look that adds instant color without taking over a room. It does best in bright indirect light indoors, where the pink tones stay strongest and it works beautifully in offices, living rooms, and brighter corners that need a little height. This is a generally easy plant that handles average indoor conditions well, though it prefers not to stay soggy. Pro tip: if the color starts fading or the growth looks stretched, move it closer to brighter light before changing anything else 💡.
