Dracaena reflexa. Commonly known as Pleomele or Song of India, this is one of the more decorative types of Dracaena that is grown indoors. Whorls of yellow-banded green leaves spiral upright, reaching about 3 ft (90 cm) tall. Its compact form and slow growth make it an ideal accent for a pedestal plant stand. Care is easy. This Dracaena thrives in average room conditions, even tolerating dry indoor air. It will survive in low light, but you'll get the best leaf color and growth by keeping this tropical in bright light year-round. Just don't overwater. Soggy soil will cause stems to become soft and mushy at the soil level. Repot in spring when roots become coiled in the container or grow out of the drainage holes. Always use fresh potting mix when you repot a plant. It blooms greenish-white flowers in mid winter. Flowers are followed by orange-red berries.

Light
Song of India requires bright, indirect sunlight for at least four hours per day. Your plant's foliage will become more vibrant in coloration with these conditions, but take note that too much sun is also harmful. It can cause leaf scorch, which will appear as browning of the leaf tips and margins.

Soil
Song of India is not very particular about soil. A peaty, well-drained potting mix is best. Remember that more peat in the plant's soil will cause the soil to decompose faster: Alleviate this issue by repotting your plant as needed (about once per year each spring) to change its soil. One way to remedy this is by making a potting mix of your own with bark, peat, pumice, vermiculite, and perlite.

Water
Water your plant often enough to keep its soil moist, but not soaked, from spring through fall. Song of India requires less water in the winter. Never overwater this plant, as it's especially susceptible to root rot. One issue to be aware of is the genus’ sensitivity to fluoride: A good practice is to use bottled or purified water for your plants. A symptom of fluoride damage is yellow wilting on the leaf margins.

Temperature and Humidity
When keeping this plant indoors, normal room temperatures from 65 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit are perfect for Song of India. This species is native to the warm climate of the Indian Ocean, and it does not tolerate cold well; even a slight draft near a cold window can do serious harm. If you live in USDA Hardiness Zones 10-12, you can grow it outdoors in partial shade.

Fertilizer
The Song of India should be fed bi-weekly in the spring and summer with a water-soluble 10-10-10 fertilizer diluted by half. No feeding is needed during the winter months
