Know before you buy
This plant prefers bright, indirect light. Placing it near a window with a sheer curtain or in a spot that receives plenty of natural light without direct sun exposure will help maintain its vibrant variegation.
No, the Dracaena reflexa is toxic to pets if ingested. We recommend placing it on a high shelf or in a room that your pets cannot access.
Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out completely between waterings. Because it is an easy-care plant, it is better to let it dry out slightly than to keep the soil constantly soggy, which can lead to root issues.
The plant arrives as an established 4-inch specimen. While it is ready for display immediately, it will continue to grow slowly over time, maintaining an upright habit that makes it perfect for tabletops or desks.
The 'Song of India' is specifically prized for its striking, variegated leaves that feature bright yellow and green stripes. Its unique foliage provides a more tropical, high-contrast look compared to solid-green Dracaena varieties.
