Dracaena Compacta (Dragon Tree)

Refined, structured, and effortlessly elegant — the Dracaena Compacta, often called the Dragon Tree, is a timeless favorite among indoor plants. Native to the tropical regions of Africa, this evergreen beauty is admired for its dense, sculptural form and glossy dark green leaves that spiral neatly around its thick central stem. Its slow growth and compact size — reaching between 80 cm and 120 cm — make it a perfect choice for smaller interiors that crave a touch of lush sophistication.

The Dracaena Compacta stands out with its glossy, waxy leaves that not only enhance its rich color but also help retain moisture, allowing it to thrive with minimal care. Its sleek, upright silhouette adds structure and depth to modern living spaces, offices, and entryways, blending beautifully with any décor style.

This plant is as practical as it is beautiful — it’s remarkably low-maintenance and known for its air-purifying abilities, effectively removing toxins like formaldehyde and benzene from the air. It thrives in bright, indirect light but can adapt to lower light levels, making it one of the most forgiving plants for indoor environments.

At Acacia, each Dracaena Compacta is cultivated at our own farms in the UAE, nurtured with precision to ensure lush foliage, vibrant color, and enduring health. Every plant we deliver reflects our commitment to premium, sustainable greenery — nature’s elegance, perfected.
