Dragon Tree | Plants that Improve Indoor Air Quality



Dragon Tree | Improve Your Air Quality
Learn how these plants can make your home greener—and cleaner
by: Andrew Hanelly

Household name: Dragon tree

Scientific name: Dracaena marginata

Size: Can grow as tall as 15 feet, but commonly does not.

How it makes your home better: Stops the toxic effects of fumes from household lacquers and gasoline, commonly polluting garages.

Watch out for: Burning and flecking. Despite its fiery name, the Dragon tree will become speckled and wilt slightly when overexposed to the sun. Keep it in a dimly light area of your home to avoid problems.
