A potted dragon – or how it makes sense
According to the traditional Chinese calendar, 2024 is the year of the dragon and it is believed that this year will bring new opportunities, changes and challenges. In cultures of the Far East, no other mythical creature is held in such reverence as the dragon. The dragon plant, also known as dracaena, resembles the legendary dragon in appearance. Its beautiful green leaves symbolize strength, wisdom and harmony - everything the dragon represents in Chinese tradition. In addition, dracaenas are resilient and can survive even unfavorable conditions, like dragons.

The "Adopt a dragon" campaign aims to promote mental and physical health by surrounding oneself with plants and increasing cultural awareness through the symbolism of the Chinese Year of the Dragon.
