The Song of India plant, Dracaena reflexa ‘Song of India’, is a captivating evergreen shrub cherished for its vibrant, variegated foliage and elegant, upright growth. Native to Indian Ocean islands like Madagascar, this striking plant brings tropical beauty indoors. Its slender, woody stems gracefully support colorful leaves, making it a popular choice for adding sophisticated, exotic flair to homes and offices.

Its most distinctive feature is long, narrow, lance-shaped leaves spiraling artistically around its stems. These glossy leaves display brilliant variegation, typically featuring a rich green center bordered by bold stripes of yellow, lime green, or cream. This eye-catching pattern creates a dramatic visual effect, providing year-round interest and a cheerful splash of color that brightens any interior.

This adaptable plant thrives in bright, indirect light, though it tolerates lower light (which may reduce variegation). It prefers consistently moist, well-drained soil and appreciates moderate humidity. Relatively low-maintenance, the Song of India is also known for its air-purifying qualities, helping remove common indoor toxins. Its resilience and striking appearance ensure enduring popularity as a beneficial houseplant.
