Dracaena 'Song of India'

Song of India Dracaena 🌿 has narrow green leaves edged in bright yellow, giving it a lively tropical look that adds easy color and height without feeling too fussy. It does best in bright indirect light indoors, where the variegation stays strongest and it can brighten offices, living rooms, and lighter corners of the home. This is a generally forgiving plant that works well for beginners, though it prefers a steady routine and does not love soggy soil. Pro tip: if the color starts fading or the growth looks thin, move it closer to brighter light before changing anything else ☀️.
