Verdeia tips
- Upon receipt, take the plant out of its box and allow it 24 to 48 hours to acclimate in a bright place without direct sunlight.
- Check the soil moisture before watering; add a little water only if the surface is dry.
- Avoid heat sources and drafts, and keep a slightly humid atmosphere to preserve the beauty of the foliage.
- Wait 2 to 3 weeks before any repotting, allowing the plant time to stabilize.
- Gently wipe the leaves to remove dust and observe them: slight stress during the first few days is completely normal.

Dracaena Magenta — Elegant & graphic Purple Dracaena
🌿 Bicolor foliage • 🌤️ Partial shade • 💨 Air-purifying • 💧 Easy care • 🪴 Slender & decorative
The Dracaena Magenta, also called Purple Dracaena or Dragon Tree, is a spectacular and easy-to-care-for houseplant. With its long, slender leaves with dark green and burgundy reflections, it brings an exotic and modern touch to any interior. Slender and elegant, it immediately creates a graphic presence that draws the eye, even in the most minimalist spaces.
Native to tropical Africa, this robust and low-maintenance plant is perfect for active city dwellers wanting a plant touch without hassle. Its vertical silhouette and deep hues make it a characterful plant, ideal for structuring a living room corner, an entrance, or an office.
Exposure & location
The Dracaena Magenta enjoys soft light and partial shade. It thrives in bright interiors without direct sun but also tolerates slightly shaded spaces.
- Exposure: partial shade or indirect light, avoid full sun.
- Temperature: between 18 and 26 °C, protected from cold drafts.
- Humidity: temperate atmosphere, without excess moisture.
- Ideal location: living room, entrance, office, or a bright room facing east/north.
Verdeia Tip: place it near a light-colored wall or a filtered window to bring out the magenta shade of its foliage.
Watering & maintenance
Easy to maintain, Dracaena Magenta tolerates occasional neglect. Its fine and tough foliage retains moisture well, making it a perfect plant for dry or heated interiors.
- Watering: moderate, about every 10 to 15 days, when the soil is dry on the surface.
- Use water at room temperature, low in lime.
- Avoid water stagnation in the planter cover.
- Dust the leaves with a soft, damp cloth.
- Repot every 2 to 3 years in a light and well-draining substrate.
Warning: Dracaena roots dislike stagnant moisture — excess water is more harmful than slight dryness.
Decor ideas & plant pairings
Slender, colorful, and minimalist, the Dracaena Magenta is an architectural plant that visually structures an interior. It easily fits into modern, industrial, or zen spaces.
- In a concrete, black metal, or matte ceramic pot for a graphic effect.
- Alone in a living room corner or next to a mirror to emphasize its verticality.
- On a light background, to accentuate the magenta color of the foliage.
- Pair it with:
- Spathiphyllum – to soften its slender lines,
- Philodendron Imperial Red – to enhance warm tones,
- Sansevieria Laurentii – for an urban and graphic composition.
Verdeia Tips
- Rotate the plant regularly for balanced and even growth.
- Avoid frequent watering: the soil must dry completely on the surface.
- Place the Dracaena on a stand or stool to accentuate its natural verticality.
- Lightly mist the foliage in summer to maintain its shine.
- Cut the lower leaves when they dry to maintain a clean and slender silhouette.
- Group it with other plants with contrasting foliage (green, silver, or variegated) for a dynamic urban composition.
