There are over 100 kinds of Dracaena in the world! With so many unique plants, it can be hard to find the best one for your home or office, but don’t worry – we’re here to help!

Also known as the Pleomele, the Dracaena Reflexa is a delightfully bright pop of color for any room! The bright green leaves are thicker than other Dracaena growth, but still pretty long and thin for a tree-like houseplant; they grow close together on thin, spindly stalks. These plants are not too fussy about light and water, just be sure to not overwater them! Soil that is consistently too wet will lead to poor growth and mushy stalks.

Lighting

Dracaena Reflexas can tolerate lower lighting conditions as long as you have a liiiittle bit of natural light coming in (bright enough for you to read a book without the lights on), although- it is worth noting that if you place this plant in lower lighting it will survive but might shed some leaves in the adaptation process.

Watering Schedule

Water the Huge Size (17" pot) Reflexas once every 3 weeks-ish, make sure that the first 3-4 inches of the soil is dry across a few spots before you water. But when you are watering, you want to make sure to water thoroughly, water the plant for a continuous 2-3 minutes or so, going across the soil very slowly. You should see some water coming down the bottom.
