Dracaena 'Song of India' Care Guide

Lighting Conditions

This plant thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate moderate light levels. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves, and low-light conditions, which may slow its growth.

Watering Requirements

Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, allowing the soil to slightly dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure proper drainage. Reduce watering in the winter months.

Temperature and Humidity Needs

The ideal temperature range is between 65°F and 80°F (18°C to 27°C). It adapts well to average indoor humidity but benefits from occasional misting in drier environments.

Fertilizing and Growth

Feed your Dracaena 'Song of India' with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can cause leaf burn.

Repotting and Maintenance

Repot every 2-3 years to refresh the soil and accommodate growth. Trim any yellow or browning leaves to maintain a neat appearance. Wipe leaves occasionally to remove dust.
