Introducing the Dragon Tree, also known as Dracaena draco. The Greek word "drákaina," which means "female dragon," gave rise to the name "dracaena." This refers to the 'Draco' kind of brilliant red resin. 

The name "dragon tree" is believed to have originated from the red sap that oozes from the trunk when cut, resembling a dragon's blood. This unique characteristic has contributed to its mythical and intriguing reputation.


Hailing from Madagascar, it is also known as the Madagascar dragon tree and goes by many other common names such as dragon blood tree, corn plant, ribbon plant, Asparagus Draco, and dragon's blood plant.

The dragon tree, a tall, cylindrical tree with sword-shaped leaves, grows tall in the landscape, whereas the houseplant is shorter but has identical leaves.

This dragon tree stands tall and can grow up to 15 feet tall in its natural habitat.

If grown indoors, it can grow up to 4 feet boasting a thick cylindrical trunk adorned with stunning rosettes. These rosettes are no ordinary ones either; they are crowned with magnificent sword-shaped leaves that will make you feel like you've stepped into a mythical kingdom.

The dragon plant flowers bloom from late winter to early spring, with white flowers, which are produced in clusters on the tips of its branches. The flowers emit a strong, sweet fragrance that attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies. The blooming period is relatively short, lasting only a few weeks.

Interesting Facts

  1. The dragon tree has a thick, gnarled trunk that adds a touch of character and charm to its overall appearance.
  2. It has a long lifespan and can live for several decades, becoming a cherished part of your home.
  3. Its sap is a vibrant red color, giving it a dramatic and eye-catching appearance.
  4. The Dragon Tree is believed to bring good luck and positive energy to its surroundings, according to ancient folklore.

Propagation of the dragon tree can easily be done by stem cuttings. Simply take a cutting from the stem of the healthy plant and allow it to dry out before planting it in well-draining soil. Keep the cutting in a warm, humid environment to encourage root growth.

With its show-stopping presence, this dragon blood tree will undoubtedly add to the landscape of your lovely home. Plus, this slow-growing plant is perfect for those who want to add something truly special to their collection.   

Watering Needs 

The dragon blood tree is a succulent shrub that definitely stands out from the rest. Since it is a drought-tolerant plant, it does not need much water, but should not be overwatered or underwatered. But here's a fun fact - unlike most trees, dragon trees do not tolerate prolonged drought well. 

In fact, during the scorching summer months, it might require watering once a week to keep those arms perky and looking their best. Keep the soil moist but not saturated.

If you ever notice your dragon blood plant gradually curling towards the center, don't freak out! That just means they're thirsty and in need of some water. So, make sure to water them thoroughly when you see this happen (but be careful not to let them stand in watery soil), or else risk facing root rot - yikes! 

Stay on top of your watering game with this quirky dragon plant and watch as they continue to thrive and turn heads with their unique appearance. 

Light Requirements 

If growing indoors, place your Dracaena tree a few feet away from the south-facing window. If they don't receive enough light for a long period, their stems may grow leggy and become paler and their spines will shorten; so, make your house plant happy and give it plenty of light. 

For outdoor cultivation, the dragon tree requires a lot of light and should be grown in either full sun or part shade. New plants can get burned in the full sun as they were probably grown in a greenhouse; therefore, dragon blood tree exposure to sunlight gradually increases. If the sun is too bright and is burning your plant's leaves, consider purchasing a sunshade or moving the plant to a more shaded location.  

The dragon tree can also thrive in filtered or low-light conditions. It can also grow in areas that are partially shaded, but not in those that receive direct sunlight. The plant is vulnerable to exposure to the full sun. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

Dracaena plant favors very airy, sandy soil that drains well. Planting them in ordinary soil will result in compacted roots, stunted growth, and most likely root rot. Instead, make or buy a well-draining regular potting soil, or ideally use Soil Cactus Mix Blend 1 Gal 4 Qtour specialized potting mix that contains over 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your blood tree to thrive. 

When it comes to fertilizing your dragon blood trees, it only needs a tiny bit applied once a year in the spring growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer that has lower doses of NPK (5-10-5). No harsh chemicals here, folks - just pure, natural goodness that lasts longer and encourages nutrient absorption, so your succulent stays happy as a clam.  

So go ahead and give your Dragon's blood plant some love with a good natural fertilizer because when it comes to soil and fertilizers, through experience, we know what works best!  

Hardiness Zones & More 

When growing indoors, the Dragon Tree prefers average room temperatures ranging from 6°F to 75°F. It can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures, but it's best to avoid extreme temperature fluctuations. It is adaptable and can tolerate average indoor humidity levels. However, it appreciates a slightly higher humidity level, so misting the leaves occasionally or placing a humidifier nearby can be beneficial, especially during dry winter months.

For outdoor cultivation, the Dragon Tree is best suited for USDA hardiness zones 9 to 12, which are regions with mild winters and warm climates. The Dragon Tree can tolerate temperatures as low as 30°F for short periods but prefers temperatures above 50°F. It's important to protect it from frost and extreme temperature fluctuations, as they can damage the plant.

Final Thoughts

Overall, the Dragon Tree (Dracaena draco), is a stunning indoor plant with spiky foliage that adds a touch of exotic beauty to any space. It's known for its easy care, making it perfect for beginners. This plant thrives in bright, indirect light and can tolerate lower light conditions too. It likes average room temperatures and can handle normal indoor humidity levels. Just water it when the top inch of soil is dry, and mist the leaves occasionally for a little extra humidity. 

We think you will love this dragon plant – order your very own Dracaena draco - Dragon blood tree for sale and start enjoying its beauty in no time!

An Excellent Primer on Novel-Writing
Format: Paperback
WIRED FOR STORY By Lisa Cron Reviewed by C J Singh (Berkeley, California) Excellent Primer on Novel-Writing In Berkeley, California, we happily have access to four independent bookstores that display literary novels and creative-writing craft books. Browsing, I picked up two books by Lisa Cron on using "Brain Science" for writing fiction. The jacket quote by Caroline Leavitt rivetted my attention: "I'd never consider writing a novel without Lisa's input, and neither should you." As a longtime fan of Leavitt's novels "Is This Tomorrow," " Pictures of You, " "Girls in Trouble," I looked up Stanford Continuing Education where Leavitt regularly teaches online courses. As a Stanford Alumnus (Psychology PhD), I've taken several on-campus and online workshops on fiction-writing. While still at the bookstore, I promptly signed up for Leavitt's soon-to-begin course that uses two coaching books: Cron's Wired For Story and John Truby's The Anatomy of Story. I'm familiar with Truby's book and its nine excellent exercises. See my detailed review on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/review/R29NU7U6LAHGBV/ Here's my review of Lisa Cron's "Wired For Story" "WIRED FOR STORY' presents a unique, distinguishing feature among fiction-writing primers: throughout its text, the author includes excerpts from the published works of leading contemporary brain-scientists that validate the principles of narrative craft. Cron explains the principles of narrative craft in twelve well-organized chapters that focus on theme, the protagonist's issue, characters' bios, points of view, rising conflicts, subplots, suspense, reveals, and the arc from setup to payoff. At the beginning of each chapter, she presents sentences in italics that illuminate the cognitive-science underpinnings of narrative craft. Examples follow. "Cognitive Secret: When the brain focuses its full attention on something, it filters out all unnecessary information. Story Secret: To hold the brain's attention, everything in a story must be there on a need-to-know basis" (page 23). . "Cognitive Secret: Everything we do is goal directed and our biggest goal is figuring out everyone else's agenda, the better to figure out our own. Story Secret: A protagonist without a clear goal has nothing to figure out and nowhere to go" (p 65) . "Cognitive Secret: It takes long-term, conscious effort to hone a skill before the brain assigns it to the cognitive unconscious. "Story Secret: There's no writing; there's only rewriting" (p 219). Also remarkable are sentences in bold that challenge advice offered in some writing-craft workshops and books. Examples follow. "Myth: Write What You Know. "Reality: Write What You Know EMOTIONALLY" (p 62). . "Myth: Sensory Details Bring a Story to Life." "Reality: Unless They Convey Necessary Information, Sensory Details Clog a Story's Arteries" (p 118). . "Myth: `Show, Don't Tell' Is Literal - Don't Tell Me John Is Sad, Show Him Crying. "Reality: `Show, Don't Tell Is Figurative - Don't Tell Me John Is Sad, Show Me WHY He's Sad" (p 152). Has the author introduced a Myth of her own? I am afraid so. On page 57, "No matter whose point of view you're writing in, you may be in only one head per scene." In my opinion, the Reality is: No matter whose point of view you're writing in, you may be in only one head per PARAGRAPH. This is the new reality -- virtually every fiction-readers' perception has been reshaped by watching films and TV dramas that imply the camera engaged in frequent head-hopping in a scene. At the end of each chapter, Cron presents a concise series of checkpoints to remind the readers while they develop their work-in-progress. Throughout, she includes many examples from literary works and films. Literary works like Gabriel Marquez's "Love in the Time of Cholera," Margaret Mitchell's "Gone with the Wind," and Caroline Leavitt's "Girls in Trouble." Films like "It's a Wonderful Life," "Vertigo," and "American Graffiti." An inspiring citation for writers: " `Recent breakthroughs in neuroscience reveal that our brain is hardwired to respond to story.... It turns that a powerful story can have a hand in rewiring the reader's brain -- helping empathy, for instance - `which is why writers are, and always have been among the most powerful people in the world'. " (On p 239 of Endnotes is the specific citation of three scientists' 2009 article "On Being Moved by Art: How Reading Fiction Transforms the Self" in the Creativity Research Journal vol. 21, no.1 ) WIRED FOR STORY fully earns its title with its numerous citations of recent contributions of neuroscience that validate narrative craft. Examples of cited works included are: V. S. Ramachandran's "The Tell-Tale Brain: A Neuroscientist's Quest for What Makes Us Human"; Michael Gazzaniga's "Human: The Science Behind What Makes Your Brain Unique; and Steven Pinker's "How the Mind Works." These stellar books illuminate the nexus between art and science; their shining light reflects on Lisa Cron's book as a five-star primer for novel-writing.

Will reading Wired for Story really make you smarter?
Format: Paperback
In my 36th year as a would-be and penniless writer, I found myself exiled to a dark rough and tumble city in the Far West, guns blazing as a steely-eyed wordslinger for hire. But then one day I stumbled upon Lisa Cron's book Wired for Story. The book's title had my curiosity. A few sample pages later grabbed my attention and has held it ever since. But the price wasn't right for a poor, humble English teacher living in China upon a Chinese salary. I had bills to pay, a mistress to please, and habits to feed. It seemed to me that Amazon.com was colluding with other dark powers to suck humanity dry; why else would they charge more for a digital book than its paper copy? But then I heard ghostly voices, the cinematic intonations of Morpheus telling me to choose between the red and blue pill; Obiwan Kenobi, "Use the Force"; Nike commercials, "Just Do It!"; and other such shadows flickering upon the wall of my TV room. Even this very particular retail website seemed to whisper across all the vastness of cyberspace, reminding me of my destiny via a personalized showcase of products, that I was not just born to buy... So I added it to my cart. About a download and two chapters later I found that I was still happy after the post-purchase buzz ran its course. This book should be required reading for all writers - and anybody else seeking an inoculation against the raging pandemic of competing narratives spewed out from marketers, pundits, prophets, and others posing as guardians of the truth - most of whom seem to be more enraptured than enlightened. For writers though, Wired for Story is quite different from other "how to" books, as Lisa Cron approaches the craft of storytelling from a neuroscientific point of view. She makes the case that writers aren't just entertainers: they are some of most powerful shakers and shapers of human perception. So if storytellers are like snake oil salesmen, then what is the difference? Both seem to be highly skilled in crafting story, using imagery, and evoking emotions, memories, desires. The difference is all about marketing. Salesmen claim to have knowledge, skills, and expertise, that they, and they alone have whatever it takes to get the facts right and fix things. They market their brands cloaked in story, as if they have a monopoly on truth, or at least the can-do spirit and problem-solving experience needed to improve the economy, save the world, whatever. It doesn't matter that time and time again reality proves them wrong; they will always have another story to spin. The difference between those who would use the power of story to express themselves versus those who would use it for personal gain is, perhaps, a fine red line marking the shadowy borders of between ethics and morality. Storytellers differ because they use words to hook audiences and manipulate a willing reader's central nervous system. They make no claims to knowledge or expertise. Indeed, fiction writers will be first to emphasize their work is fictional, and not based on any real life events or people. Their best writing leaves readers thinking, questioning, minds opening, empathizing, expanding their worldviews, the list goes on almost ad infinitum. Storytellers speak for themselves and let audiences think for themselves; pundits speak for others and tell audiences what to think. What's more, the art and craft of story, as well as the talent and hard time in solitary confinement required for their honing, is estimated to take an average storyteller at least 1,000,000 words or 10,000 hours - not including all the reading, language arts development, and life experience necessary to get to a point one needs to seriously embark on such a ludicrous and un-economical vocation. This means that fiction writers who risk everything for dubious prospects of financial reward must have something else driving them - and a good day job. A presidential candidate though, who has genuinely done the time, and crafts speeches with the skill of a poet or bard, should hypothetically have the critical thinking background, moral authority, and empathy to be a great leader. But in the final analysis, actions contradict words; their ability to spin tales proves the old universal theme that the pen is mightier than the sword. Now when I finish Wired for Story sometime this week, I will be one step further on this endless quest to actually sell stories for a living (i.e. stories fit for the fiction aisle of an actual bookstore, not a review for an online retailer). Until then, I'm probably just a hypocrite acting as if a single book alone makes a smarter man, when in fact I know little of anything (which is why I became a writer in the first place) -- or maintaining such a humble pretense. But I don't know myself well enough to be certain. That kind of exploration would be a whole other story - but it would be unsafe to say that I lived happily ever after reading this book. The End

A Cheeky Novel about writing cheeky novels
Format: Paperback
Wired for Story is a book full of solid, albeit basic, advice for story tellers, and in particular writers trying to develop their craft. It succeeds in some areas while falls down in others, however I found it solid and well written overall. Where it succeeds is in its brevity and clarity. The author gets right to the point and even provides short lists at times of what to do and how to do it. Her writing is also peppered with cheeky humor which is humorous in a thats-almost-funny kind of way that is refreshing compared to the textbook style adopted by many how-to-write books. Where the book fell down, for me, was in its limited examples and scope. It really felt like the author was addressing romance writers, for the most part. I could think of a few counter examples to some of her rules, although one would have to leave the romance genre for those to work. But for a 230 page book, that is minor discrepancy. The second thing I noticed, which has already been pointed out by others, is that the brain science was limited. In fact, it was mostly only refereed to in footnote. Personally, that was fine with me, but I could see why it made others feel misled (it is in the title, after all).
