The Dracaena Reflexa, commonly known as Song of India, is an ornamental tropical plant known for its vibrant green and yellow-striped leaves. This elegant plant adds a touch of exotic beauty to any indoor space, making it a popular choice for homes and offices. 

Features:

  • Foliage: The Song of India has long, narrow leaves with yellow-green stripes running along the edges, creating a dramatic contrast with its dark green center. The leaves are lance-shaped and grow in rosettes around the stem.

  • Growth Habit: It has an upright, bushy growth habit with a trunk that can become woody as it matures. It typically grows in a compact form, making it ideal for indoor spaces.

  • Size: Grows up to 3-6 feet indoors, depending on care, and can reach 8-10 feet when grown in ideal outdoor conditions. 

Care Instructions:

  • Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. However, the yellow variegation of the leaves may fade in low light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. 

  • Watering: Water when the top inch of soil is dry. The Song of India is sensitive to overwatering, so be sure the pot has proper drainage.

  • Soil: 50:50 ratio of coco peat to garden soil works well. This mixture provides a balance between good moisture retention (from the coco peat) and essential nutrients and structure (from the garden soil)

What is coco peat:(also called coir peat) is a natural fiber extracted from coconut husks. It is commonly used as a soil amendment because it improves the soil structure, retains moisture, and enhances aeration. Coco peat is lightweight, renewable, and eco-friendly.

  • Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 18°C and 24°C. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 10°C.

  • Humidity: This plant prefers moderate to high humidity but can adapt to average indoor humidity levels. Regular misting will help maintain its vibrancy.

Benefits:

  • Air Purification: Like many Dracaenas, the Song of India is known for its air-purifying qualities, helping remove toxins like formaldehyde and benzene from indoor air.

  • Aesthetic Appeal: The plant's striking green and yellow foliage adds a tropical touch to any space, making it an excellent decorative piece.

  • Easy Care: It is a relatively low-maintenance plant that thrives in various lighting conditions, making it ideal for beginners or busy plant owners.

The Dracaena Reflexa (Song of India) is a versatile and beautiful plant that brings color, elegance, and air-purifying benefits to any indoor environment. Its low-maintenance care makes it a perfect addition to any plant collection.
