The Bicolor Dragon tree, known as Dracaena marginata ‘Bicolor’) is a vibrant and easygoing tropical plant known for its sword-like foliage striped with shades of green and reddish-pink, making it a popular choice for modern indoor and outdoor plantings. With its upright growth, striking color contrast, and low-maintenance nature, it has become a favorite among homeowners, interior designers, and collectors looking to add tropical flair to spaces without the upkeep of more delicate species. 

Commonly referred to as the Bicolor Dragon Tree or Bicolor Dracaena, this cultivar belongs to the broader Dracaena marginata species, also known as the Madagascar Dragon Tree. The "Bicolor" name comes from its dramatic two-toned leaves, which display a rich green center edged with pinkish-red or burgundy margins. Its variegation is more subtle than the ‘Tricolor’ or ‘Kiwi’ varieties, but still provides vivid color and a bold vertical accent in any setting.

Native to the island of Madagascar off the southeastern coast of Africa, Dracaena marginata grows naturally in warm, semi-arid forests.

Although the ‘Bicolor’ variant is a cultivated hybrid, it retains the species’ natural tolerance for drought, variable light conditions, and poor soils, making it especially resilient and adaptable to indoor conditions around the world.

This tropical evergreen features slender, upright canes topped with dense tufts of long, narrow leaves.

The foliage of the ‘Bicolor’ is what sets it apart—long, pointed blades with clean green centers and striking red-to-pink margins that glow under bright, indirect light.

Over time, the lower leaves naturally shed, leaving behind bare stems that resemble a miniature palm or cane tree, making it ideal for vertical appeal in tight spaces.

When grown indoors, the Bicolor Dragon Tree typically reaches 4 to 6 feet tall, but with time and care, it may grow taller.

Outdoors in tropical climates or when grown in containers and moved seasonally, it can reach up to 8 feet or more.

Its slow growth rate makes it manageable and easy to shape with light pruning. While flowering is rare indoors, mature plants may occasionally produce small clusters of fragrant white flowers in optimal conditions. 

When it comes to Dracaena marginata ‘Bicolor’ care, it thrives in a well-drained  soil, opens in a new tab and prefers watering every 10–14 days during the growing season (spring to summer), allowing the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry out between waterings. In fall and winter, water only once every 2–3 weeks.

Indoors, it grows best in temperatures between 65°F and 80°F, with at least 6 hours of bright, indirect light daily.

Outdoors, it should be grown in USDA Zones 10–12, where it prefers partial shade or filtered sunlight to prevent leaf scorch.

Fertilize once a year during spring using a balanced liquid NPK fertilizer diluted to half strength.

Occasional pruning of yellowing or lower leaves helps maintain its clean form, and taller plants can be cut back to encourage bushier growth. 

What makes the ‘Bicolor’ cultivar unique is its perfect balance of visual interest and resilience. Unlike many colorful houseplants that require precise humidity or specialized light, this Dragon Tree variant is remarkably forgiving. Its ability to tolerate missed waterings, low humidity, and low light makes it ideal for beginners, busy plant owners, or even office environments. Additionally, it's known for its air-purifying properties, helping reduce pollutants like formaldehyde and benzene in the indoor air. 

Final Thoughts

Overall, the Bicolor Dragon Tree offers a compelling combination of bold color, architectural form, and worry-free care. Whether you're styling a minimalist room, refreshing your patio container garden, or just looking for a tough plant that looks good year-round, Dracaena marginata ‘Bicolor’ delivers. Its colorful edges and upright form add a tropical touch to any space while demanding very little in return.

Lots of ports, and lots of power!
Style: 8-in-1
I was in search of a hub that not only had a large number of USB A and USB C ports but also was externally powered, so that it can give some power to all the things plugged into and take a little load off of the laptop. It is working great and I would recommend.

Anker 8 in 1 USB Hub excellent choice!
Style: 8-in-1
I’m always expecting more for my laptop power supply than it can do. I bought this hub because I needed powered connections not only to reduce the strain on my power supply but also help them operate more effectively. The Anker USB hub 8 in 1 solved the dilemma, highly recommend.

It does exactly what's advertised, which is perform poorly
Style: 8-in-1
1 star because it does exactly what's advertised if you scrutinize the listing, but what it does is so mind numbingly stupid nobody would assume it's this poor of a product. It comes with a stand alone power input, but to use it properly you need an additional USBC power supply to feed into it, and oh yeah also most of the USBC ports deliver low power, and the USBA ports deliver no power. This is like a weird peripheral stuck in a time warp torn between 1998 and the modern day. Nobody is asking for this and the subtlety of how dumb this design is is reflected by the "Frequently returned item" disclaimer. Whoever product managed this needs to rethink their career

Worked fine.
Style: 8-in-1
When I tried to plug in our new backup hard drive, I got a message saying something like "USB power exceeded." Bought this, plugged it in, attached the hard drive, no problems since.

Need power AND data? You'll need a second power supply.
Style: 8-in-1
If you only need to connect peripherals like an external drive to your computer or tablet and provide power to the peripheral devices, then this hub should work for you. Please note that it WILL NOT provide pass-through power to your computer or tablet without adding an additional power source. Read on if you feel this may apply to you. I purchased this Anker hub for the very specific purpose of connecting my DSLR camera to the Cascable App on my 4th generation iPad Air. This allows my clients to preview their portraits on a larger screen during a photoshoot. My hope was, that out of the box, the hub would connect my camera and iPad (which it did) as well as charge my iPad throughout an entire day of work. Unfortunately the product description provided by Anker does not clearly state that pass-through power to your laptop or tablet is only possible by connecting an additional power supply to the PD in port (USB-C) which is located next to the DC power port that connects to the included power supply. It's by no means an elegant solution, but it gets the job done. UPDATE: this is now addressed by amazon in the "About this item" section. Fortunately I had a spare 65W USB power adapter that I was able to connect to the PD port and get power to my iPad. If not I would have to buy that additional piece of equipment to make this work for my needs. My thanks to others who have taken the time to mention this in their reviews - saving me the frustration of sending this back.
