Arrived overnight, looking exactly like the photos
Ordered Tuesday at 8 PM, delivered Wednesday by 9:30 AM. Plant was healthy, tall (about 16 inches), came in the charcoal pot exactly as shown. The packaging was thoughtful — wood shavings, tied stems, no soil spill. Two weeks in and it's already pushed out a new leaf.

Survived me. That's a big deal.
I have killed every plant I have ever owned. Got this for the bedroom. Watered it once in 6 weeks. Still alive, still growing. The team also responded on WhatsApp within an hour when I asked if it was getting too much sun. Not paid to say this.

Beautiful plant, slightly smaller than expected
Plant itself is gorgeous and very healthy. Only minor gripe — I expected the medium size to be taller, but it's closer to 14 inches than 18. Still very happy with it. The Khurja ceramic pot is honestly the best part.

About the Dracaena Reflexa
The Dracaena Reflexa is a slow-growing evergreen shrub native to Southeast Africa. It features distinctive thick green stems with clusters of glossy, dark green leaves that create an elegant appearance. This plant belongs to the Dracaena family and is known for its ornamental value, making it a popular choice for both indoor and outdoor spaces in India. Its compact growth habit allows it to fit well in various settings while maintaining its striking visual appeal.
Light & Placement
Dracaena Reflexa thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. When kept outdoors, place it in shaded areas where it can receive filtered light. Indoors, position it near a window with sheer curtains to protect it from direct sun exposure. This plant can tolerate lower light conditions but may grow slower. Avoid placing it in drafty areas or near air conditioning vents, as sudden temperature changes can stress the plant.
Watering & Humidity
Water your Dracaena Reflexa when the top one inch of soil feels dry. This typically means watering every 7-10 days, but adjust based on your environment's conditions. Reduce watering during winter or the rainy season to prevent waterlogging. The plant prefers moderate humidity levels, so occasional misting can be beneficial, especially in dry climates. Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent root rot.
Pet Safety & Toxicity
Dracaena Reflexa is toxic to pets if ingested. It contains saponins that can cause vomiting, drooling, and in severe cases, more serious symptoms. If you have cats or dogs, it's best to place this plant in an area inaccessible to them. For pet owners, consider keeping it in hanging baskets or on high shelves to ensure your furry friends remain safe while you enjoy the plant's beauty.
