Graceful and easygoing, Dracaena fragrans ‘Marley’ brings a touch of tropical calm to any indoor space. Its long, arching leaves feature a fresh chartreuse tone with deep green stripes that become more defined toward the edges, creating a lush, layered texture that brightens both modern and classic interiors.

Native to tropical Africa, this variety of dracaena develops a sturdy upright form, reaching around 3–5 feet tall when mature. The plant grows slowly, forming a strong cane-like stem crowned with dense foliage. It thrives in bright, indirect light but easily adapts to medium or even lower light levels, making it one of the most forgiving indoor plants. A few hours of gentle morning sun will enhance its vibrant color, but avoid harsh direct rays that may scorch the leaves.

Dracaena ‘Marley’ prefers well-draining soil and moderate watering. Allow the top one-third of the soil to dry before watering again. Overwatering is the most common issue, so ensure the pot has drainage holes or a base layer of lava rock or clay pebbles. During the growing season (spring and summer), feed monthly with a diluted houseplant fertilizer, reducing feeding in fall and winter.

This tropical evergreen enjoys average indoor temperatures between 65–75°F (18–24°C) and moderate humidity. To prevent dry tips, keep it away from heating or cooling vents. Occasional pruning in spring encourages fuller growth and maintains the plant’s elegant shape.

Beyond its beauty, Dracaena fragrans ‘Marley’ helps purify indoor air by filtering harmful toxins, creating a fresher, more comfortable environment at home or in the office. Its resilience and adaptability make it a perfect choice for busy plant lovers seeking a low-maintenance, visually soothing companion.
