Plant Song of India in a pot can grow to about 3 to 6 feet over many years. Song of India can be planted outside in a partly sunny spot and used as an evergreen focal plant in a tropical garden setting.

  • Song of India needs bright, indirect light. Intense, direct sun will unfortunately burn the leaves and low light will cause the plant’s yellow-lime striped vibrancy to fade and the plant to turn spindly. Mild morning sun can be an option.
  • Plant in quick-draining soil to prevent root rot or overwatering. And like all dracaenas, reflexa likes to live on the dry side which means let about half of the top soil dry out before giving it a drink. If your potting soil seems too heavy, add some sand to the mix.
  • Hailing from high humidity places, this plant may display brown leaf tips if the humidity is too low.
  • It is one of the plants used in the NASA Clean Air Study and has shown to help remove formaldehyde. It is an effective air cleaner and is said to be among the best plants for removing xylene and trichloroethylene.

General advise about Outdoor plants: Don’t kill your plants with kindness by overwatering. The is the most common mistake gardeners make. Different plants need different levels of moisture between watering. Some plants like moist soil between watering’s, while others prefer to dry out completely.

  • Check the soil between watering’s with a stick, or even your finger, pushing below the top layer of soil or mulch to determine how moist the soil is.
  • A watering can is an excellent choice for watering plants. Water well around the base.
  • Water plants thoroughly. Water should run away from the edges of the plant or drain from the hole in the bottom of the pot.

Plants have individual nutrition needs, and beginning gardeners should be careful not to overfeed their plants. New plant installations will not need fertilizers or food of any kind for the first three months as they come from the nursery prepared for transplant.

Plant fertilizers come in three forms:

  • Water-soluble: a liquid mixed with water and poured on the plant
  • Spikes: a solid food that is pushed directly into the soil and releases nutrients slowly
  • Granular: sprinkled around the base of a plant and watered in.

At the nursery these plants are grown under 40-70% shade cloth. If you plant this plant in a brightly lit area (like direct sun) you may experience leaf burn. It is best to acclimate this plant to its environment by keeping it outside and slowly moving it into a sunny area over a week or two to avoid stress before planting.

Keep an eye open for harmful insects or disease on new plant material. New plantings are not as strong as established plants, so they do require more attention. If you see a concern, you can research the issue or contact us for advice.
