Reach Out And Touch A Female Dragon!

Silk PlantsOMG!  Here’s something I didn’t know, the Dracaena plant gets its name from the Greek word “drakaina”, meaning a female dragon.  Wait, it’s not as bad as it sounds!  The connection between this popular plant and beast is the red gum produced when the stem is cut, and is said to resemble dragon’s blood.  I wonder who made that comparison!  A native of Africa and New Guinea, the dracaena is usually displayed as a bushy, multiple sprouted cane floor plant.  One of the most common Dracaena is the one more commonly known as the Corn Plant.  It has broad leaves with a dramatic, single variegated yellow stripe on each leaf.

The “Real Touch” Dracaena silk plants are the easiest to care for because there is no need to worry about the amount of sunlight it needs.  There is no need to worry about how often to water this beautiful carefree plant.  Mealy bugs and scale will never attack these life-like silk plants.  You’re free to display these beautiful plants anywhere in your home or office.  Not only will they make great focal points, silk plants are perfect for filling in gaps between furniture or as an accent in the corner of a room.  “Real Touch” artificial plants are perfect in color, texture and touch.
