Common Name: Dracaena Marley, Marley Dracaena

Scientific Name: Dracaena fragrans 'Marley'

-Care Recommendations By The Dude-

Best for These Animals:

• Small and medium sized reptiles and amphibians from tropical and temperate climate zones.

Bio Dude Substrates:

• The Bio Dude's Terra Flora (for tropical or rainforest setups)

• The Bio Dude's Terra Fauna (for slightly drier but still humid forest environments)

• The Bio Dude's Terra Firma (for temperate terrestrial environments with only occasional humidity spikes)

• Can also adapt to Terra Aranea if provided with consistent moisture.

Soil Depth:

• Minimum 2–3 inches to allow proper root establishment.

• Thrives in well-draining bioactive soil with leaf litter on top.

Lighting:

• Low to moderate indirect light (or low-level full-spectrum LED/UVB terrarium lighting) preferred; can tolerate high light but may turn lighter green.

• Avoid placing directly under intense heat lamps — leaves can scorch easily.

Humidity & Misting:

• Prefers high humidity (45% – 90%) but can tolerate less than 40% in certain circumstances.
  

• Ensure good air circulation to prevent mold.

Temperature Tolerance & Placement in the Terrarium:

• Ideal range: 60–80°F (20–27°C), but can take between 60 and 85 degrees.

• Avoid prolonged exposure below 60°F (15°C).

• If pruned to keep size low, it can be used as a lower understory plant, or, if allowed to grow tall over time, it can be used as a background plant or corner placement. 

Edible & Side Effects if Ingested:

• Non-toxic to reptiles, amphibians, and most pets.

• While not meant as a food source, accidental ingestion is harmless.

• Always monitor new plants for pesticide residues before adding to enclosures (rinse thoroughly or propagate from clean cuttings).

Pot Size & Packaging: A single 4" potted dracaena plant is shipped in the pot, wrapped in paper.
