Originating from Macaronesia and northwest Africa, with characteristics similar to Nolina, it is classified by people as a tree, succulent plant, or palm, when in reality it is an "non-woody" tree-like perennial plant that can reach 20m in height, with slow growth and a very long lifespan, potentially reaching 1,000 years.
It does not tolerate frost, with a thermal range between 0ºC and 41ºC.
When watering, waterlogging should be avoided, and it tolerates drought as long as it is not extreme.
It blooms between spring/summer every 15 years, with terminal clusters of hermaphroditic flowers in white-cream color.
The fruits mature in October when they turn orange/reddish, and they are edible.
After each flowering, the dragon tree produces new branches.
It has a very important cultural and symbolic significance.
For all these reasons, without a doubt, Dracaena Drago is a "special plant."
