Care Tips:

1. Light Requirements: Pleomele reflexa thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. A location near a north or east-facing window is ideal, where the plant can receive filtered light.
2. Temperature and Humidity: This Dracaena variety prefers average room temperatures ranging from  (18°C to 35°C). It appreciates moderate humidity levels, so consider using a humidifier or placing the plant on a tray filled with water and pebbles to increase humidity.
3. Watering: Allow the top inch (2.5cm) of the soil to dry out between waterings, then water thoroughly until water drains from the bottom of the pot. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot. During winter months, reduce watering frequency as the plant’s growth slows down.
4. Soil and Fertilizer: Plant Pleomele reflexa in well-draining soil, such as a mix of potting soil and perlite or sand. Fertilize once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength.
5. Pruning and Maintenance: Trim off any brown or yellowing leaves to maintain the plant’s appearance and encourage new growth. You can also prune the plant to control its size and shape if desired.
6. Pest Control: Monitor the plant for common houseplant pests like spider mites or mealybugs. If detected, treat with appropriate organic or chemical solutions according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

With its graceful foliage and relatively easy care requirements, Pleomele reflexa is a beautiful addition to homes, offices, or any interior space. Follow these care tips to ensure its health and enjoy the beauty of this stunning indoor plant.
