Dracaena Song of Jamaica
-
The Dracaena 'Song of Jamaica' (Dracaena reflexa) is an evergreen shrub or small tree, typically grown as a cane houseplant. It is a highly valued cultivar of the Dracaena reflexa species. The Dracaena reflexa species is native to Madagascar, Mauritius, and other islands in the Indian Ocean, where it thrives in warm, tropical climates.
The distinctive appeal of the 'Song of Jamaica' lies in its highly variegated leaves. The narrow, slightly curved leaves are a beautiful blend of deep green at the center contrasted by bright yellow-green or lime-green edges. This striking coloration, combined with its tree-like form, gives it a sculptural quality and a year-round tropical appearance.
The 'Song of Jamaica' (and all Dracaena) is considered toxic to cats and dogs if ingested, causing symptoms like vomiting and salivation. Keep out of reach of pets.
-
Thrives in plenty of bright, filtered light, which helps maintain the vibrancy of the variegation. Tolerates lower light, but growth will slow, and the yellow coloring may fade. Avoid direct, harsh afternoon sun.
Water thoroughly, then allow the top half of the soil to dry out before watering again.
Use a standard quality houseplant mix.
The plant prefers temperatures between 65°F and 80°F (18°C - 27°C). It is sensitive to cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F (15°C) can cause damage.
