Dracaena Marginata 'Sunshine'

Dracaena Marginata ‘Sunray’ ☀️🌿 stands out with narrow arching leaves striped in green with bright yellow margins, giving it a lighter, more colorful look than a standard dragon tree. It does best in bright indirect light indoors, where the variegation stays strongest and it adds easy height to offices, living rooms, and brighter corners without much fuss. This is a generally easy plant that handles average indoor conditions well, though it prefers not to sit in soggy soil. Pro tip: if the color starts fading or the growth looks stretched, move it closer to brighter light before changing anything else 💡.
