Growth Characteristics

Reflexa dracaena 'variegata' is an evergreen foliage plant with long, narrow, and relatively thick leaves. It is characterized by light cream-colored stripes along the edges of the leaves. It thrives in moderate sunlight and suitable temperature and humidity, with an optimal temperature range of 18–24°C.
