I'm just so in love with the song of India! It's the Chris Evans in the plant kingdom! You're right it looks hot!!

So rare to see a care video on dracaena! Thanks, I wouldn't have known about the flouride problem without this

I live in Tampa Bay I saw this plant in Walmart. It was so beautiful I didn't know what type of plant it was. I brought it anyway. Thanks for sharing all you knowledge.

Those orange roots are beautiful. I never knew any plants had orange roots! Love that Song of IIndia.💚

I first saw the song of India, at a neighbors house. The neighbor didn’t know the name of the plant, but did say it was difficult to find. I was so happy when a year later I found the the song of India, in a big box store . Thank you, for the information on it’s care

I am in Miami I rescued one from a Home Depot about four years ago it is now over 6 feet inside never out, but it’s one skinny stock.

Oh ya she is doing great.. Just before Christmas I got her . And bought a cool air humidifer...WAHAT A DEFFERENCE IN ALL MY PLANTS

Hi, Jeff. I completely understand your love for this variety of dracena. I have 3 other varieties but not this one ( I can wait). I saw a table full of them at Lowe's one day, and they were a show-stopper for sure. I'm glad you mentioned the fluoride; it really can cause brown edges, so I use filtered water. Thanks! :)

Thank you I couldn’t find any info on these, this was great

I have tried to grow these a couple of times with no luck. I do love the look of them. Maybe I should try again.

Just purchased the variegated one and came across your channel looking for plant care. Awesome information thanks!

I can’t wait til mine comes. I bought one online and I am so happy to get it.

I love the rambling some people just don't have the patience and aren't very nice o.o❤💕. Completely up to you, it's your channel. P.S. love watching you pot stuff up x3.

I got my dracena at Walmart the other day. They even have 5 foot ones. I really appreciate him some people think they're basic & boring but I enjoy the foliage. Reminds me of bigger spider plant leaves. 🌱💚

Oh, my gold! Your dracaena is absolutely beautiful! I'm really struggling to get mine happy.

I'm a bit desperate so bare with me. My mother bought me a song of India for my birthday on our last outing together. She's currently preparing to pass due to cancer; making these plants she bought me that much more special to me. I've got the darker green one that seems to be doing well for itself. But the brighter Song of India plant seems to be struggling; though it's conditions are identical to that of the darker one. At first it had some leaves withering, and then it started dropping a few leaves on occasion. It's got 3 stocks and one of them lost most all it's lower leaves yesterday. I woke up this morning to that same stock having gone completely limp; seemingly due to the weight of it's healthy green top. It seems the stock itself has some kind of problem and it simply couldn't support the weight any longer. I did the only thing I figured I could do; and clipped the top of that one stock; so now it's just a bare stick. While the other two stocks are seemingly much better off; one of them is showing similar signs of withering leaves and I fear it too will run into similar problems. If anyone reading this may have some suggestions; please let me know. I live in a humid region, they've got indirect shaded sunlight; and I water them about once per week or so if not a little longer.

I hope the top stalk that you clipped off you put into a jar of tap water so that new roots form and after 1-1.5 inch of roots you can repot into another pot. Regarding the main plant, it’s difficult to say without seeing it up close, but I would take it into a plant store/horticulturist for their opinion/guidance. So sorry about your dear Mama… stay strong dear one🌿💐🪴🌺🌼

I really appreciate this video. I had a bunch of them in a large fish tank and they were thriving until recently, then they started dying - And even getting spots. I’m extremely hopeful that they’ll rebound. Thank you, again. 🤗 you just gave me an education I needed but didn’t have time to get.. I know they are included within the Dracaena family but thank you for featuring this beautiful plant. Nice!

Dracaena marginata is so great isn't it!?

The Song of India actually grows in basically full sun here. They are common container plants on lanais, so the only sun protection they get is from the screening, which isn't much. They can get brown leaf tips during the heat of summer but that is about it. You end up having to top them after a while because they get too tall and the leaves are way up so all you see is bare stem.

Hi Jeff! As I’ve said b4 I love your channel and how well you explain the care of plants. For this plant (Song of India) I have 4 in big pots which I rescued from a mall. Some of the branches are brown with no leaves. There are a few leaves on each plant. I wld like to put them all in one pot so that it looks full not straggly. Do I remove the brown stems that look dead without leaves? I can’t seem to find anything showing the process.

I thought they came from South America. Other vids have mentioned this. (?) Thank you for another informative vid!

Hey Mr Tropical.. Thanks so much for the imfo on....Song of India....D V.. Refelexa.... Got this Sweet Beauty at Krogers for a huge markdown.. Looked ok to me. Checked Uer Roots. Looked ok.. & she is doing great... But do need to move Her back away from my lite...even filtered with lite tan shears. There was a sliver of real lite SE. & little bugger got 2 slightly scorched leaves. Now I know she does better without such strong lite.. I will be moving her back a bit.. So thanks so much....

Hello! They are very sensitive to bright light aren't they? They can be acclimated to full sun but it takes a bit of time and some leaf scorch in the process is almost guaranteed.

My aunt has a wall of these that are like 12 feet, they grow like weeds in miami sun.

Thank you for the informative video! My Song of India is very small with 1 stem and it lost a lot of it's middle leaves but seems to have adjusted to my home. I noticed you have so many beautiful tropical plants and was wondering what state you're in?

Can you plant each stalk/"trunk" in it's own pot? I recently bought a song of india, it has 3 stalks/trunks. Will it survive if I seperate them?

Hi, I’ve had my Draceana Sanderiana for almost a year now. It is not growing upright for some odd reason. It began doing that when I repotted it a few months ago. It does look healthy & green but it is not growing straight ..

I got a dracaena reflexa two days back. The soil in the planter seems too wet to me, its wet to touch from the top. I havent watered it since i brought it home. Is there anything to worry about? Should i repot it?

My song of india have brown spots what should i do please help thanks

Lemon lime vs song of india i cant tell which one i have. It looks like song of india but bigger leaves

Lots of them are hear in Texas

Mines dropping leaves 🍁:( but still looking good.

I'm in winter with -6 mid November. My sits by the window. My house is usually 70 degree.

I got a cane dracena with this same coloring, and it has two plants growing off from the cane. How concerned should I be if the cane starts to yellow? It's the strangest thing as the plants and the roots look fine, and the other dracenas I'm growing are also doing okay. I tried looking online but can't seem to find an answer. Any thoughts? Thanks!

@TropicalPlantParty

Totally normal! These plants sometimes have offshoot growth from the trunks. If the trunk yellows you can cut off the offshoots and just stick them in a pot with some soil. They should root fairly easily.

Are the leaves turning yellow before they fall off? Is there a hole in the pot? If you have the plant indoors it is better to error on the side of the soil being too dry than too wet.
