Reflexa Plant
$62.00 – $224.00
What a great plant! The Pleomele reflexa, flies under the radar for most designers and homeowners but it’s an excellent choice with lots of character. Ours are propagated in south Florida by one of our favorite nurseries and the specimens in 14″ growpots are tall and can be placed in tight spaces. Although it’s a close relative of Dracaenas, it is considered a medium-light plant and needs a little more light than a Lisa Cane; but its character is striking. Place it near a window and let it grow – it’s an easy plant requiring little attention.

Description
The Reflexa will survive in low light, but thrives in moderate- and high-light spaces. If you can get it in good light, you can get it and (nearly) forget it. Here are some tips to keep it growing:
Watering
Like other members of the Dracaena family, it prefers its rootzone on the dry side; so make sure the soil dries out between waterings. See our watering guide for more information.
Light
Although it’s a close relative of Dracaenas, the Reflexa still needs at least moderate light. It’s great near a window with filtered light but not in a dark spot. Like others, do not expose this plant to direct sunlight or it will burn the leaves very quickly.
Nutrition
The Reflexa will not need to be fed during the first 6 months after it has shipped. During this time, it will use the residual nutrients from nursery production. After 6 months, it can be fed quarterly with a complete fertilizer formulated for interior plants. Please refer to our nutrient guide for details.
Cleaning
This plant, with its numerous trunks and plentiful small leaves, is a bit more challenging to clean. While we prefer a cleaning regimen with water and a light soap solution, it would be okay to break out the feather duster on this plant. Make sure your feather duster is clean though – it’s a primary way to get bugs from one plant to another. Don’t be afraid to crank up the shower and give it rinse off with some tepid water every now and then too.
Pruning
In good light, the Reflexa can grow up and out, sometimes requiring minor pruning. Cut stems below where you’d like new growth to fill in, since the cut will prompt growth in that area. The lower leaves can turn yellow and are easily pulled off. See our pruning guide for details.
Bugs
The biggest threat for the Reflexa is Mealybugs and they can be pesky. So, keep it clean. Look for the little white cottony bugs at the base of the leaves. If you see them, break out the spray bottle with a light soap solution and spray them daily ’til they’re gone.
Trouble
Aside from the mealybug threat, just pluck off the old leaves and enjoy this one.

A truly gorgeous, healthy plant! I couldn’t be more pleased and thanks for being so mindful and customer-focused to have anticipated shipping it to me after the freakish Texas storm last month! I will never again order from elsewhere! The Plantz team is top-notch!!!
That was quite the freakish storm for sure! Glad you made it through and your plant made it to you safely!
Thanks,
Sue
So so gorgeous! The Reflexa plant is a true beauty, its foliage is to die for, grows bushy and tall, with a rich dark green color. I have had many compliments on it already in just 2 short weeks of having it. I ordered this and the majestic White Bird of Paradise in the 14 inch grow pots, and presented each in modern white planters with beautiful moss on top, also bought from Plantz. They make me very happy, every time I catch a glimpse of them when I walk by, I smile 🙂 I recommend Plantz 100% and plan to keep buying from them in the near future.
Thank you! We’re happy to help with any of your plant needs so just let us know if you need us!

Came carefully boxed. Opening it was like seeing a blind date for the first time. And I appreciate the thorough notes on how to care for the reflexa.
Thanks
Thanks! Love the blind date reference!
Sue
The reflexa arrived super happy and healthy. The bottom of the box was a little banged up but nothing was damaged. The rest of the plant was very well packaged and unpacking was a breeze after watching the unpacking video. Sue was extremely helpful the entire process and is super communicative. Love my plant and can’t wait to buy from this place again.
Thank you! We are sorry about the delay in getting it to you but the weather was not cooperating this summer! We hope you enjoy its beauty for many years to come and if we can help you in the future, please let us know!
Sue
Lankier (taller) than my first one but I’m a fan of this gorgeous plant.
Thank you. They seem to have a mind of their own in the way that they grow and are one of the tall column like plants that we carry.
Sue
beatiful health and size is above and beyond
Glad to hear that we’ve exceeded your expectations!
Thanks
Sue
Fantastic beautiful plant will definitely buy again. Way better than I expected
Thank you! In Florida, they tend to grow year round so they might be a bit different from the specs you see on our site!
Thanks – Sue
Could not be happier as a first time buyer!
Thanks so much! We are happy to help you going forward if you need us!
Sue
Great plants and customer service. I buy all of my plants here and will continue to do so. Thanks Sue for your attention and great customer service.
Great plant, great support, and great experience!
I live in the northeast and received a beautiful plant. I opted for the largest Reflexa. It’s surprising how well it faired through the shipping process. Clear instructions were provided and customer support was able to quickly answer my question related to the timing of my shipment. The plant is doing well so far in medium light conditions.
Beautiful! Exactly what I wanted and arrived in perfect condition!
As great as the plant looks in the pictures, they still don’t do it justice. It showed up in perfect condition. I didn’t have to go to the store and figure out how to get such a large plant home. Most places don’t even have plants this nice. With the lengths Plantz goes to to ensure I knew how to open my plant and care for my plant to ensure it stays as healthy. You can tell how much they care about their plants and customers by reading their descriptions and watching their videos. The service and communication regarding my order was very impressive as well. Great company, Great Plants. Thank you for everything.
