Dracaena Song of Jamaica
Dracaena reflexa 'Song of Jamaica'
Rare Plant
The Dracaena Song of Jamaica is a rare variation of the more common Dracaena Song of India. They have gorgeous stems which bow out at odd angles in a way that is rarely seen in Europe. The leaves of this plant are set close together, branching off from a central stalk, which makes them look nice and full.
As these plants grow, they have a tendency to lean over from the weight of the leaves, which adds to their wise, mythical appearance.
When plants get to a larger size, they're fairly easy to maintain. (Handy for offices!). Luckily for you, this one is a big one!
Growing pot size: 30cm
Overall plant height including growing pot: 100 - 115cm
