The name Dracaena means female dragon; it’s derived from the Greek “drákaina.” This refers to the Draco variety’s resin, which is bright red, and from the names such as dragon tree and dragon‘s blood plant come.

The Lively Root red leaf Dracaena collection features four types of bright and bold dragon plants all in one pot. Two Bicolor, one Green Stripe, one Florida Beauty, and one Sanderiana. It certainly makes a statement with variegated yellow spots and vivid red stripes, rounded leaves, and spiky foliage. Best of all, it’s easy to care for and purifies the air.
