Dracaena reflexa Riki 27cm H150cm

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: 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!
