Good to know

Dracaena fragrans Massangeana



The very popular Dracaena fragrans 'Massangeana' is more commonly known as the Corn Plant. It does well in low light conditions and its wide leaves are long and arc gracefully from the stalk. Fragrans can be either grown as a low shrub form, by rooting tip cuttings, or a tree form, by rooting mature canes.

Dracaena Marginata



Dracaena marginata commonly called Red-edge Dracaena or Madagascar dragon tree, and can grow to 15 feet in height, supported by a long, slender truck or "cane".

Its foliage is a near vertical to horizontal mass of narrow pointed green leaves with red to purple stripes along the outer edge. As new leaves emerge from the top, the mature leaves on the bottom drop away.

And of course:

Dracaena is a genus of about 40 species of trees and succulent shrubs in the family Ruscaceae

Dirrty


Welcome to the jungle, originally uploaded by Dominik Schwind.

I justed noticed that the marginata is slowly getting dirty. This might be due to the superb air filtering qualities of the plant. The result is that all the dirt in our office air settles down on the leaves.
