Dressina Compacta

Dracaena plants supposedly get their name from the Greek word for female dragon. Because of this fact, dracaena plants are often called dragon plants or trees.

Tricolor Dracaena’s attractive glossy narrow leaves remain green in color with prominent red stripes and tinges of creamy white throughout the year. The flowers are not ornamentally significant.

A few types of the dracaena plant also has a tendency to ooze red-colored resin from the stems when cut or damaged. Historically, the gum-like resin was used for medicines, toothpastes, and dyes.
