Description
Dracaena ‘Song of India,’ also known as Dracaena reflexa ‘Song of India’, is a colorful tropical houseplant known for its narrow green leaves edged in bright yellow to chartreuse. Its upright, branching growth gives it a full, decorative look that works well in plant corners, offices, entryways, decorative pots, and bright indoor spaces.
Light Requirements
For best color and growth, place Dracaena ‘Song of India’ in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate medium light, but brighter indirect light will help maintain stronger yellow variegation and fuller growth. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.
Watering
Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Dracaena ‘Song of India’ prefers to dry slightly between waterings and does not like sitting in soggy soil. Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot with drainage to help prevent root rot. Dracaena can be sensitive to minerals in tap water, so filtered, distilled, or rainwater may help reduce brown leaf tips.
Temperature & Humidity
This plant does well in average household humidity and prefers warm indoor temperatures. Keep it away from cold drafts, air vents, and temperatures below 60°F.
Pet Safety
Dracaena ‘Song of India’ is not considered pet-safe and can be toxic if ingested by cats or dogs. Keep it out of reach of pets and children.
Best For
Dracaena ‘Song of India’ is best for offices, entryways, plant corners, decorative pots, and plant owners who want a colorful, low-maintenance houseplant with bright variegated foliage and upright growth.
