Dracaenas, also known as dragon trees, are native to tropical Africa or Asia. Their name is derived from the Greek word drakaina, meaning female dragon. When the plant is damaged, red resin flows out of the 'wounds'. This resin is also known as dragon's blood and has been used medicinally since ancient times. Nowadays, it is often used in medication for gastrointestinal complaints as well as dietary supplements. It can also be found in anti-ageing creams: the dragon's blood is said to have an antioxidant effect that is up to 5 times stronger than vitamin E. The impressive Dracaena bicolor has a striking look. Its beautiful light green leaves with a subtle red edge give the plant a unique appearance.
