Dracaena Mysore Ruby Plant, Red Dragon Tree

Dracaena Mysore Ruby Plant (Red Dragon Tree)

Dracaena Mysore Ruby, also known as the Red Dragon Tree or Dracaena Baby Doll, is a striking ornamental indoor plant cherished for its vibrant, colorful foliage that ranges from deep red to purple-pink hues. Originating from Southeast Asia, this evergreen plant grows to about 2–3 feet tall when potted and can reach up to 10 feet if left unpruned outdoors, making it a versatile choice for homes and offices.

Its slender, sword-shaped leaves with rich ruby-red tones create a dramatic visual impact, adding a bold splash of color and tropical elegance to any interior space. The plant is easy to care for, requiring bright, indirect sunlight and moderate watering-water when the top inch of soil feels dry, reducing frequency in winter. It thrives in temperatures between 65°F and 80°F (18°C to 27°C) and appreciates moderate humidity, with occasional misting recommended if the air is dry.
