Dracaena 'Rikki' 6 inch

There are so many different varieties of Dragon Trees, one could own several and no two would look alike. Dracaena 'Rikki' leans toward the greener end of the color spectrum, with fairly broad arching leaves that are edged in a dark green with a yellowish to pale green stripe down the center. If 'Rikki' isn't getting enough light, the variegation fades, but its leaves will burn if placed in direct sun. Once you find the perfect exposure for this dracaena, it can eventually reach six feet in height with a two-foot spread. Leaves die off from the bottom, so it may get more tree-like in appearance. This may actually be an advantage for pet owners as the leaves are mildly toxic to pets if ingested.
