Madagascar dragon tree, Pleomele, Song of India, song-of-India
Description
Evergreen shrubby plant with dense, slightly pendulous and very elegant foliage. It is mainly used as an indoor plant to add elegance to living spaces, offices or shops.
The stem is leafless because in propagation by layering these are removed.
In some Mediterranean areas with a warm temperate climate it can also be planted outdoors in open ground or cultivated on a terrace.
