Dracaena serrulata
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Dracaena serrulata faces severe pressure from habitat destruction as its native forest ecosystems are cleared for agriculture and urban development. The species' limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, while its slow growth rate hampers natural recovery from disturbances. Collection for the ornamental plant trade has further reduced wild populations, especially targeting mature specimens.
Habitat
This species inhabits tropical and subtropical forests, typically growing in understory conditions with filtered light and well-drained soils. It is often found on rocky outcrops and forest margins within its native range.
