Hi. I'm new here. I just bought a 30cm draceana marginata from a nearby store and I don't know anything about its maintenence. If anyone could help me I would like to know about how often does it need watering and whatever other aspects I should know about. 10x Plants: 1 | From: Bucharest, Romania | Registered: Feb 2007

welcome!
water thoroughly and then let the soil dry out a bit (an inch or so down) and then water...in the warmer months, it should be kept a bit more moist (don't let the soil dry too much).
it should be kept in a spot where it gets bright light.

watering is very crucial especially if your keeping indoors and not in a greenhouse. makesure that the soil has very little and constant moisture...i.e. the soil should be loose and cool to the touch. do not drench the soil. or rot will soon follow...
i deal with these plants all the time as a part of my job... let me know if you have anymore questions --Aaron
