I have a dracaena marginata tree (dragon tree) will it grow out side if i protect it well i live in zone 10?
tho i am not sure where zone 10 is, if it is hot and tropical, like florida, it should do very well outdoors. i live in n.e.pa. and keep mine in the sunroom during the winter mos. They told me it likes moisture , non direct sunlight, and loose soil. i mist mine every other day because the leaves need moisture also.i only water it once a week well. it is doing great. good luck.
Reply:Sure will. I think they look best planted in shade though. They'll survive with a lot of southern sun, but the leaves tend to look short, narrow and stunted.
