The Kiwi Dragon Tree, known as Dracaena marginata ‘Kiwi, is a striking and vibrant cultivar admired for its colorful foliage and easygoing nature, making it a favorite among indoor plant enthusiasts. Its gracefully arching leaves and dynamic color palette set it apart from other houseplants, while its ability to adapt to a range of indoor conditions adds to its widespread appeal.  

This variety offers all the hardiness of the classic Dracaena marginata with an extra splash of color, making it an excellent choice for home and office décor. 

Native to Madagascar, the “Kiwi” name comes from its tri-colored leaves that resemble the vibrant shades of a kiwi fruit—lime green centers, creamy yellow margins, and thin pink to red edging that intensifies with proper lighting.

The Kiwi Dragon Tree is primarily grown for its foliage, which is long, narrow, and sword-shaped, forming elegant tufts at the top of tall, slender stems.

The colorful leaf pattern creates a vivid display year-round, with the variegation appearing more pronounced in bright, indirect light.

New growth emerges from the crown, and older leaves naturally shed from the bottom, giving the plant its distinctive tree-like appearance.

When mature, the Kiwi Dragon Tree can grow up to 8 feet tall indoors, although growth is slow and controlled, especially in containers. It tends to grow upright, with the option to prune or braid stems for visual interest. In its native habitat or in ideal tropical outdoor environments, it may grow even taller, but it remains compact enough for most indoor settings. 

The Kiwi Dragon Tree may produce small, white to pale pink fragrant flowers, typically followed by orange or red berries. These flowers emerge on tall stalks and can be an unexpected bonus for long-time plant owners. However, most growers value the plant for its year-round ornamental foliage rather than its blooms. 

When it comes to Dracaena marginata kiwi care, use a well-draining potting mix, opens in a new tab, such as a blend made for palms or indoor tropical plants. Water deeply but infrequently, allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry between waterings, and reduce watering during winter.

Indoors, keep the temperature between 65°F and 80°F with humidity above 40%, and place it in bright, indirect light.

Outdoors, it grows well in USDA Zones 10–12, where temperatures remain above 50°F. Provide dappled sunlight or light shade to prevent leaf scorching.

Prune leggy stems or brown leaves as needed to maintain shape, and fertilize once a year during the growing season in spring with a diluted balanced houseplant fertilizer. 

One of the most unique aspects of the ‘Kiwi’ cultivar is its foliage coloration, which requires just the right balance of light and care to maintain vibrancy. In low light, the variegation can fade, while in too much direct sun, the leaves may burn. Its drought tolerance, ease of pruning, and low pest issues make it a low-maintenance plant despite its colorful appearance. It is also known to filter indoor air pollutants, making it as functional as it is beautiful. 

Final Thoughts

Overall, the Kiwi Dragon Tree (Dracaena marginata ‘Kiwi’) offers a perfect combination of visual appeal, resilience, and versatility. Its vivid foliage makes it a standout among variegated houseplants, while its slow growth and upright form make it suitable for small spaces. Whether placed in a bright corner of a living room or a softly lit office, the Kiwi Dragon Tree adds a tropical touch and a splash of color without demanding much in return.

Here's to Stinkbird!
Format: Hardcover
I love a story where I learn something new. I think young readers will delight in following Baby Stinkbird as he discovers his superpower. While he has many amazing traits, like his poopy smell and falling into a river (both of which keep him safe from predators), he has one fabulous talent that no other baby birds have. So dive in and find out more about Stinkbird’s adventures.

so fun!
Format: Kindle
With a title like Stinkbird Has a Superpower, I obviously had to grab a copy and read it. To be honest, when I first saw it, I didn’t realize the stinkbird is a real bird – otherwise known as the hoatzin which lives in the Amazon rainforest. I thought it was more of a cartoon character name, but I was wrong and that new knowledge made the book all the more appealing to me. I’m firmly in the camp that believes a children’s book should be one that both adults and kids can enjoy, and Stinkbird Has a Superpower definitely fits the bill! I chuckled at the back and forth between the father bird and his baby – the little chick was seriously adorable in both appearance and interaction. I learned a lot of interesting facts, and I loved the bright colors and vivid illustrations. And I think my nephews will be delighted to learn more about the stinkbird on the pages of this fun book, too (because what little boy wouldn’t want to learn about a stinky creature? lol). The format of the conversation between the father and chick allows similar engagement on the part of the adult/child reader pairing, and I foresee copious giggles from my nephews on a couple of pages. Bottom Line: Colorful illustrations, intriguing science, a surprising superpower (that isn’t what you think it’s going to be) and of course a stinkbird – Stinkbird Has a Superpower by Jill Esbaum and Bob Shea has all the ingredients for a fun and educational picture book, and the result is delightful in every way! Children and adults alike will love this book, and they’ll learn a lot at the same time. A great book for parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, teachers, and anyone who has littles in their lives to add to their library. (I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book)

Fun and filled with facts
Format: Hardcover
Stinkbird is a humorous, kid-centric tale featuring the Amazonian hoatzin bird. It's filled with interesting facts about this stinky bird. Esbaum's distinct, fun voice is inviting, and Shea's illustrations are lush and colorful. Backmatter is engaging and amusing, too! This will be a terrific addition to classrooms, libraries, and home bookshelves.
