Dracaena reflexa var. angustifolia 'Magenta'

Dracaena reflexa var. angustifolia 'Magenta' is a red-edged dragon tree cultivar with slim green leaves and vivid magenta margins. The colour sits along the leaf edge, so the plant keeps a narrow outline while adding a strong red-purple accent.

Its growth comes from slender woody canes that carry tufts of pointed leaves at their tips. As the stems lengthen, the plant develops a light tree-like silhouette with space between the foliage heads. Cutting back a tall cane can restart growth lower on the stem and help maintain a fuller indoor shape.

  • Leaf colour: Deep green blades edged with reddish-magenta margins.
  • Growth habit: Slim woody canes with narrow leaf tufts at the tips.
  • Indoor size control: Can be pruned to manage height and encourage branching.
  • Container outline: Red-edged foliage on narrow canes keeps the plant slim in a pot.

Red-Margined Leaves on Woody Canes

This cultivar belongs to Dracaena reflexa var. angustifolia, the western Indian Ocean dragon-tree variety formerly known as Dracaena marginata. The variety’s natural form is a shrub or tree, and 'Magenta' keeps that cane-forming structure indoors on a smaller scale.

The narrow leaves show their strongest colour along the margins. Bright filtered light keeps new leaves firmer, while overly harsh sun can scorch the leaf surface. The stems and leaves tolerate short dry spells, but constant wetness around the roots can lead to soft stems and root decline.

Care for a Red-Edged Dragon Tree

  • Light: Use bright indirect light near a window; introduce any direct sun slowly and avoid hot midday exposure.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly after the upper part of the mix has dried, then keep the saucer empty.
  • Potting: Choose a pot with drainage and avoid large jumps in pot size after repotting.
  • Temperature: Keep the plant above cool draughts, with steady indoor warmth around 18–27 °C.
  • Substrate: A mineral-aerated mix helps protect the roots from long wet periods.
  • Pruning: Shorten tall canes in spring or summer for easier regrowth and shape recovery.
  • Humidity: Average home humidity is acceptable, but a very dry room can make leaf tips crisp.
  • Feeding: Apply a diluted balanced fertiliser during active growth, then pause or reduce feeding in winter.

Colour and Root-Zone Troubleshooting

  • Dull new leaves: Move gradually into brighter filtered light if the plant has been kept far from a window.
  • Brown tips: Check for dry air, mineral buildup, hard water or fertiliser excess before changing the whole care routine.
  • Soft stems: Remove the plant from wet substrate and inspect the roots if a cane loses firmness.
  • Dry, bleached patches: Shift away from direct sun that hits the same leaves for several hours.
  • Small pests: Look for spider mites, scale or mealybugs on leaf bases and along older stems.

Safety for Pets

Dracaena reflexa var. angustifolia 'Magenta' is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. Keep the plant out of reach and remove fallen leaves, especially in homes with pets that chew foliage.

Botanical Background

Dracaena comes from Greek drakaina, meaning female dragon. The species epithet reflexa means bent back sharply, and angustifolia means narrow-leaved. Dracaena marginata is an older synonym of Dracaena reflexa var. angustifolia.

Dracaena reflexa var. angustifolia 'Magenta' has slim canes, defined height and red-edged foliage in a narrow potted form.

Not for people over 5'6"
Special Size: 27.5" Full Length with Pockets, Size: XX-Large, Color: Slate Grey
These are definitely designed for shorter people. They get 5* because they're still low cost and decent quality on fabric. Just have to pull the waist up because the calfs are not designed to be worn as capris and pull the entire leggings down. If it sized up one more then they'd just fall down because of the waist. So waistband fits as expected. They're just also for shorter people than me.

"Heather" and Non-Heather Colors are Not the same Fit & Material
Special Size: 27.5" Full Length, Size: Large, Color: Space Dye Slate
I bought these in one of the "heathered" colors and loved how soft they were. They are really comfortable and stretchy, thick enough that they can be worn on their own. They are not a perfect fit, but fit well enough and I can overlook this because of how smooth they feel. I wanted to try other colors and only realized after purchasing that the non-heathered colors were a different material. I was able to return them but they should probably be listed as a separate item. They have an entirely different fit and texture and I would not recommend. Five stars for the heather colors, one star for the non-heather version.

Super comfy, not as much tummy control as I would like but perfect for house work, going to the gym or grocery shopping. Love that these have pockets!! Thin so not too hot and stretchy too.

Great leggings!
Special Size: 27.5" Full Length with Pockets, Size: Medium, Color: Black
These are great leggings! They’re my third pair. They are comfortable, lightweight, and fit great. I wouldn’t say they are buttery soft as compared to other leggings that are listed the same texture, however they are soft and smooth. The pockets are a must and are positioned perfectly.

So excited I found these!
Special Size: 27.5" Full Length, Size: Small, Color: Black, Special Size: 27.5" Full Length, Size: Small, Color: Black
Extremely impressed with these leggings! These athletic leggings are absolutely amazing! The material is incredibly soft and feels so comfortable against the skin. The quality is top-notch, with a durable yet flexible fabric that moves perfectly with your body. They are completely squat-proof, which makes them perfect for workouts, and they stay in place without sliding down, no matter how much you move. Some of my more expensive name brand leggings don’t check all the boxes; as these do! These leggings truly combine comfort, quality, and performance—highly recommended! Also- I am 5’3/5’4 and these hit right at my ankle
