Came across this plant a couple weeks ago at a local nursery and had to have it. Looked everywhere online for it but couldn’t find it, so I went back to the nursery this morning to pick it up. I managed to snag the last one! It’s a “Malachite Dragon Tree” (Dracaena cantleyi “Malachite”) and so badass looking! I named him Malachi. 💚
