Red Dracaena
Dracaena marginata ‘Colorama’
Colorama takes the thin red margin of a standard marginata and widens it until the pink-red dominates the leaf, leaving only a thin green centre stripe. From across a room the whole plant reads as dusty pink.
The colour is light-dependent — this needs the brightest indirect spot you have, or it will progressively green up over a season. In the right light it holds indefinitely.
- Broad red-pink striping that dominates the leaf
- Needs bright light to hold colour — will green up in shade
- Same easy, drought-tolerant care as a standard dracaena

How to look after your Red Dracaena
Written for Pakistani conditions — long hot summers, dry winter air, and hard tap water. Follow this rather than advice written for a temperate climate.
- Light
- Bright indirect light. Tolerates medium light, though variegated forms lose contrast in shade.
- Water
- When the top 5 cm is dry, roughly every 10–14 days. Sensitive to fluoride — filtered or rested water is better.
- Humidity
- Moderate. Appreciates a boost in dry winter air.
- Soil
- Well-draining potting mix with perlite.
- Feeding
- Monthly at half strength, spring through summer.
- Temperature
- 18–30°C. Keep above 13°C.
If something goes wrong
Brown tips with a yellow halo
Why it happens: Fluoride or salts in tap water.
What to do: Use filtered water and flush the pot thoroughly every few months.
Bare, leggy stem
Why it happens: Natural habit with age, accelerated by low light.
What to do: Cut the cane back — it reshoots below the cut, and the removed top roots easily in water.
