Variegated Dragon Tree Dracaena marginata ‘Malaika’ 4”—A Botanical Performer in Your Home Stage

Meet the Variegated Dragon Tree Dracaena marginata ‘Malaika’ 4”, the effortlessly chic cousin in the Dragon Tree family. With creamy-white and green striped leaves atop tall, slender canes, this beauty adds an airy, modern twist to any space. Whether you’re styling a minimalist corner or adding contrast to your jungle shelf, Malaika’s your girl.

The Nitty-Gritty (Plant Care):

• Light: Bright, indirect light keeps her stripes crisp and vibrant. Can handle lower light, but she’ll tone down her drama.

• Water: Let the top half of the soil dry before watering again—no wet feet, please.

• Humidity: Perfectly happy in normal household humidity. No misting tantrums here.

What It’s Telling You:

• Happy Signs: Upright stems, sharp contrast in foliage, and steady new growth.

• Needs TLC: Browning tips or soft leaves? Overwatering may be the culprit. Ease up and check your drainage.

Good News for Pet Parents:

Not pet-friendly. Like all Dracaenas, Malaika is toxic if chewed—keep her out of snacking range.

Extra Love for Detail Lovers:

• The 4” size refers to the nursery pot’s diameter—not the height of the plant.

• Your Malaika Dragon Tree 4” will arrive in its nursery pot. Styled planters shown are just for inspiration.

• Each plant at 3B’s Flowers is photographed in-house. No two are exactly the same—your Malaika may have unique leaf markings or shape quirks that make her all yours.

Symbolism with Style:

Malaika means “angel” in Swahili—and this plant embodies light, guidance, and calm resilience. A gorgeous gift for new chapters, quiet strength, or anyone who deserves a soft-but-strong moment of beauty.
