The Kiwi Dragon Tree, known as Dracaena marginata ‘Kiwi, is a striking and vibrant cultivar admired for its colorful foliage and easygoing nature, making it a favorite among indoor plant enthusiasts. Its gracefully arching leaves and dynamic color palette set it apart from other houseplants, while its ability to adapt to a range of indoor conditions adds to its widespread appeal.  

This variety offers all the hardiness of the classic Dracaena marginata with an extra splash of color, making it an excellent choice for home and office décor. 

Native to Madagascar, the “Kiwi” name comes from its tri-colored leaves that resemble the vibrant shades of a kiwi fruit—lime green centers, creamy yellow margins, and thin pink to red edging that intensifies with proper lighting.

The Kiwi Dragon Tree is primarily grown for its foliage, which is long, narrow, and sword-shaped, forming elegant tufts at the top of tall, slender stems.

The colorful leaf pattern creates a vivid display year-round, with the variegation appearing more pronounced in bright, indirect light.

New growth emerges from the crown, and older leaves naturally shed from the bottom, giving the plant its distinctive tree-like appearance.

When mature, the Kiwi Dragon Tree can grow up to 8 feet tall indoors, although growth is slow and controlled, especially in containers. It tends to grow upright, with the option to prune or braid stems for visual interest. In its native habitat or in ideal tropical outdoor environments, it may grow even taller, but it remains compact enough for most indoor settings. 

The Kiwi Dragon Tree may produce small, white to pale pink fragrant flowers, typically followed by orange or red berries. These flowers emerge on tall stalks and can be an unexpected bonus for long-time plant owners. However, most growers value the plant for its year-round ornamental foliage rather than its blooms. 

When it comes to Dracaena marginata kiwi care, use a well-draining potting mix, opens in a new tab, such as a blend made for palms or indoor tropical plants. Water deeply but infrequently, allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry between waterings, and reduce watering during winter.

Indoors, keep the temperature between 65°F and 80°F with humidity above 40%, and place it in bright, indirect light.

Outdoors, it grows well in USDA Zones 10–12, where temperatures remain above 50°F. Provide dappled sunlight or light shade to prevent leaf scorching.

Prune leggy stems or brown leaves as needed to maintain shape, and fertilize once a year during the growing season in spring with a diluted balanced houseplant fertilizer. 

One of the most unique aspects of the ‘Kiwi’ cultivar is its foliage coloration, which requires just the right balance of light and care to maintain vibrancy. In low light, the variegation can fade, while in too much direct sun, the leaves may burn. Its drought tolerance, ease of pruning, and low pest issues make it a low-maintenance plant despite its colorful appearance. It is also known to filter indoor air pollutants, making it as functional as it is beautiful. 

Final Thoughts

Overall, the Kiwi Dragon Tree (Dracaena marginata ‘Kiwi’) offers a perfect combination of visual appeal, resilience, and versatility. Its vivid foliage makes it a standout among variegated houseplants, while its slow growth and upright form make it suitable for small spaces. Whether placed in a bright corner of a living room or a softly lit office, the Kiwi Dragon Tree adds a tropical touch and a splash of color without demanding much in return.

So very long….
Format: Paperback
Every time Yeltsin takes a nap? Paragraph. Bush mumbles something indecisive to Scowcroft? Boom—chapter! I felt like I was experiencing the fall of the Soviet Union in real, agonizing time. Look, it’s a fine book. If you’re going for a career in the foreign service, this is a good place to start. Otherwise, you can get a fine rendering of these events in much more concise form elsewhere.

P O W E R F U L .
Format: Paperback
The author summarized: "The ghost of the disappeared Soviet Union ... still haunts the imagination of contemporaries .... This amazing story teaches us not to trust in the seeming certainty of continuity and should help us prepare for sudden shocks in the future" (p. 439). An engrossing in-depth eloquent analyses concerning the events and individuals affecting the 1991 demise of the Soviet Union. Moreover, the unforeseen Chernobyl nuclear disaster on April 26, 1986, crystallized the horrors of a possible nuclear war. Thus, a new orientation to end the exorbitant arms race with the United States. Further, General Secretary Gorbachev promulgated new reforms, including, relaxing travel restrictions in 1989: "... [T]he shock that thousands of Soviet people experienced when they crossed Soviet borders and visited Western countries .... For first-time Soviet travelers to the West a visit to a supermarket produced the biggest effect. The contrast between half-empty, gloomy Soviet food stores and glittering Western palaces with an abundant selection of food was mind-boggling.... This experience changed Soviet travelers forever" (p. 82). At times, repetitive and somewhat confusing. For instance, U.S. President Bush needed Gorbachev's approval for his Iraq offense, which was initially described on Page 143, then inexplicably again, on Page 172. On another occasion, the author indicated that Yeltsin was influenced by Alexander Solzhenitsyn's brochure "How To Rebuild Russia," on Page 150, which is again repeated, on Page 173. Scrupulous editing needed. Notwithstanding such glitches, nonetheless, a fascinating detailed portrayal of the unexpected implosion of a superpower. Having read other books on the subject, if I had to select only ONE about the USSR collapse, I would choose this as the best.

Thought Provoking
Format: Kindle
I bought this book after I heard the author on a podcast. Growing up in the US we have been inundated with the story that the collapse of the Soviet Union was an inevitable triumph of liberal, Western values. I had my doubts. Even poorly run dictatorships can muddle along for years. What the author did was center Gorbachev in the story. He was the eye of the storm. It was the terrible combination of Gorbachev’s ambitious idealism and gross ineptitude that led to the dismantling of the Soviet Union. Unlike much of Marxist historical narratives which emphasize the forces of history; the author shows that it’s individuals who shape events and are shaped by them. A different person than Gorbachev could have turned the tide in a different direction and left us a different world than we have today. This is a history book that teaches lessons not just about the Soviet Union but about human history in general.

A compelling account of the fall of the USSR
Format: Kindle
Zubok describes blow by blow the series of decisions that sent the USSR towards disaster. Gorbachev, widely hated in Russia, comes across as principled but indecisive, ignorant of economics, and incapable of translating his worship of Lenin into coherent action. The book reads like a thriller despite the density of facts. Zubok is a pessimist, but his thesis is convincing.

Fascinating, an against the grain account of the perestroika era
Format: Kindle
Gorbachev is hailed as a hero in the West but the book tells the story of a meek, naive individual that precipitated the fall of the Soviet Union creating suffering and an a!most unprecedented calamity.
