Dragon Tongue

The Dragon Tongue is a striking and compact plant known for its narrow, textured leaves with deep purple undersides and rich green tops. Its sword-like foliage gives it a bold, exotic look, making it a favorite for terrariums, vivariums, and decorative indoor arrangements. While often sold as an aquarium plant, Dragon Tongue thrives best in humid, terrestrial setups rather than being fully submerged.
