Meet 'Riki'—the sophisticated stylist of the Dracaena family. With her narrow, arching leaves and a distinctive lime-green stripe down the center, she’s a more refined and compact cousin of the Corn Plant. She’s structural, elegant, and perfect for adding vertical interest to smaller spaces!

  • The Formal Name: Dracaena reflexa 'Riki'
  • The Nickname: Pleomele or Song of India variant
  • Roots: Native to the tropical islands of the Indian Ocean, including Madagascar.
  • Natural Vibe: Shrubby and arching in the humid, tropical sunshine.

Care Guide

  • Care Guide:
  • Sunlight: She loves bright, indirect light. Good light is essential to keep her central stripe from fading to dark green.
  • Best Room: A bright bedroom or a well-lit office desk.
  • Snacks: A half-strength balanced fertiliser every 6 weeks during the growing season.
  • Tropical Feels: Appreciates humidity but is very adaptable to normal household air.
  • Cosy Factor: Thrives in warmth (18–27°C). Protect her from cold winter drafts!
  • Thirst: Water when the top half of the soil is dry. She is very forgiving if you miss a watering.
  • Safety First: Toxic – best kept away from curious pets.
  • The Bedding: A light, well-draining potting mix.
  • Family Tree: Propagate by taking stem cuttings and rooting them in water or soil.
  • Space Needs: Stays more compact than other Dracaenas, usually reaching about 1 metre in height.
  • Speed: Slow to moderate; she takes her time to build her elegant, bushy habit.
  • Uninvited Guests: Mostly pest-resistant, but keep an eye out for the occasional mealybug.
  • Moving Day: Repot every 2 years in spring to refresh her soil.
  • Haircut: You can prune the top to encourage her to branch out and become bushier.
  • Fresh Air: A fantastic air purifier for small to medium-sized rooms.
  • Plant Lore: The "reflexa" in her name refers to the way her leaves reflex or bend backward as they mature!
