Dracaena Reflexa Song of India

Dracaena 'Song of India' is an easy, forgiving plant that suits most homes. It prefers bright, indirect light to keep its lime-yellow variegation vivid, but tolerates medium light, just keep it out of harsh direct sun which can scorch the leaves. Let the top few centimetres of soil dry out before watering again, as it dislikes sitting wet and is prone to root rot if overwatered. It can be sensitive to fluoride and salts in tap water, which cause brown leaf tips, so where possible use filtered or rainwater. Keep it warm and away from cold draughts, mist occasionally for humidity, and feed lightly through the warmer months. Wipe the leaves now and then to keep them glossy and dust-free.
