This easygoing shrub plant can be *spotted* by its freckled leaves, as well as its upright growth on multiple stems. It's the growth pattern that sometimes gives it the name 'Japanese Bamboo', as the stems look similar to bamboo shoots. Not sure why Japanese though when it's actually from Africa... The mid-green leaves are speckled with paler yellow variegation which comes out more in the sun (like freckles), adding some interesting variegation to the foliage. These plants can grow over 3m tall in the wild, but likely won't grow quite so much as houseplants. Give it plenty of bright light (avoiding harsh midday sun) and let it dry out between waters and it'll give its best shot at growing nice and tall!

Scientific Name
Dracaena surculosa (woody, dragon-like plant)

Synonyms
Dracaena godseffiana (often misspelt as “godsefiana”)

Common Name
Gold Dust Dracaena, Spotted Dracaena, Japanese Bamboo

Origin
Native to tropical West African forests, from Guinea to the Republic of Congo

Light
Your Dracaena will prefer bright indirect light for most of the day but will benefit from an hour or two of morning or evening sun to help dry the soil and maintain the plant's variegation.

Water
Aim to water your plant when the top third of the soil dries out; this plant grows in rainforests where there's plenty of water to be found!

Humidity
This plant likes average humidity best, though can benefit from a hose down to clear it of dust now and again. If your place is really dry, it may appreciate the use of a humidity tray.

Soil
Use a mix that retains moisture well but has some elements to aerate and drain too. A mix of coir, perlite, bark and sand will produce this; look for soil blends designed for Ficus plants for a good balance. Repot every couple of years as the plant grows.

Food
Feed every four waters in the growing season, reduce to every six in autumn and winter.

Temperature
Ideal temperature is 15-24°C; make sure it does not get colder than 12°C in winter.

Pet-safe
No, this plant is toxic to pets and small humans.

Sprouts Top Tips
It can be tricky to find a balance between sun and water with these plants. Crispy brown leaf tips and curling leaves are a sign of too much sun and too little water; you may need to acclimatise your plant to higher light levels more gradually. However, in a shady location, it can be easy to water too frequently; if the soil still feels damp on the top when you go to water your plant, leave it longer before watering or you could find yourself dealing with root rot.

    One of the essential references for scholars and humanists
    Format: Paperback
    I got the 1972 PEPP as a high school student (and self-imposed "poet"). I was cured of being a poet by time, but reading through PEPP like an evergreen sampler plate made me educated in prosody, forms, theories of poetry, the history of genres, national literatures, and more. When I went to college, my professors kept asking which expensive prep school I had gone to, because no one came as well prepared as I was. The NPEPP was not quite as inspiring, but this edition is thrilling. Get it. Open it and start grazing. This is not a book as much as it is a field to wander in for years. It works as traditional reference -- answering questions on specific lemma -- but it also works as a delightful resource.

    Excellent Reference Book!
    Format: Paperback
    I don't think this book was meant to be read cover to cover. If it is, the reader better start reading at an early age because there are over 1,000 pages and print is small. However, the book is an excellent reference and provides data that other similar books do not cover. It is a worthy investment.

    The definitive reference
    Format: Kindle
    The definitive reference. It can be a bit hard to use if you're not up on the jargon, but it's an invaluable work if you are interested in the technical aspects of poetics.
