About this plant
Dracaena reflexa, sometimes called song of India, grows many slender, twisting stems covered in tight spirals of short, glossy, lance-shaped leaves. Mature plants become dense and shrubby, with an informal, layered look quite different from the strap-leaved cane dracaenas.
In Dubai it is an indoor plant that needs more light than most dracaenas. It handles air-conditioned rooms well but grows thin and drops leaves in dim corners, so give it a bright spot near a window with filtered light. It prefers the soil to dry partly between waterings, and dry air from vents can crisp the leaf tips. Avoid hot direct sun through glass and keep it inside during summer.
It works in bright living rooms, villa entrances, sunlit offices and lobbies with large windows. We offer it at about 110 cm, in a nursery pot or a designer pot.

Care Guide for Dubai Homes
How to keep Dracaena Reflexa healthy through the Dubai year.
Light
Bright, indirect light; some gentle morning sun is fine. Keep it out of harsh direct afternoon sun in summer.
Watering
Every 7–10 days indoors in summer, when the top 3–5 cm of soil is dry; every 2 weeks in winter. Water when the top 2 to 3 cm of soil feels dry, empty the saucer afterwards, and check the soil before you water: AC slows how fast the plant uses water.
Care notes
Soil: well-draining indoor potting mix with bark or perlite. Feeding: balanced liquid feed every 4 weeks from March to October. Common mistake: placing it in low light, where it thins out and sheds leaves. Where it works: bright living rooms, villa entrances, sunlit offices and lobbies.
AC and air flow
Keep it at least 1 metre from AC vents. Cold air blowing straight onto the leaves dries the edges.
Cleaning the leaves
Dust settles quickly in Dubai homes. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth every few weeks so they keep taking in light.
Feeding and repotting
Feed once a month from March to October. Repot every 2 years into a pot one size up, or book a Plant Doctor visit and we do it for you.
Pets
Listed by the ASPCA as toxic to cats and dogs (saponins; can cause vomiting, sometimes with blood, depression, loss of appetite, drooling and dilated pupils in cats).
