Rikki Dracaena (Dracaena deremensis 'Rikki')

Rikki Dracaena is a colorful tropical houseplant valued for its upright form, easy indoor care, and bright variegated foliage. Its deep green leaves feature a light green to lime-green center stripe, giving the plant a fresh, clean look without relying on flowers for color. The narrow vertical habit makes it useful in homes, offices, lobbies, and interior plant displays where height is needed without taking up too much floor space. With bright indirect light, well-drained soil, and careful watering, Rikki Dracaena brings dependable structure, tropical character, and year-round foliage interest to indoor spaces.

Distinctive Features

Rikki Dracaena grows with upright cane-like stems topped by clusters of long, arching leaves. The foliage is its main ornamental feature, with dark green margins and a bright light green stripe running through the center of each leaf. Its form is clean and architectural, making it easy to use as a floor plant, office plant, or vertical accent in a decorative container. While mature dracaenas may flower under ideal tropical conditions, Rikki Dracaena is grown primarily for its foliage and rarely blooms as an indoor houseplant.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun: Grows best in bright indirect light and can tolerate medium to lower indoor light, while harsh direct sun may scorch the foliage.
  • Soil: Prefers a loose, well-drained indoor potting mix that holds light moisture without staying soggy.
  • Water: Allow the upper portion of the soil to dry between waterings, then water thoroughly and let excess drain away.
  • USDA Zones: Best grown as a houseplant in most climates and hardy outdoors only in frost-free tropical conditions, generally USDA Zones 10 to 12.
  • Mature Size: Typically reaches about 4 to 8 feet tall indoors and about 2 to 3 feet wide, with larger size possible over time in ideal conditions.
  • Habit: Forms an upright, narrow tropical houseplant with cane-like stems and clusters of arching variegated foliage.

Ideal Uses

  • Focal Point: Use as a vertical indoor focal point in living rooms, offices, entries, lobbies, or bright corners where its striped foliage can add height and color.
  • Floor Plant: Place in a decorative container where its upright habit can fill vertical space without spreading too widely.
  • Office Plant: Use in workspaces where a durable foliage plant can handle typical indoor light and low-maintenance care routines.
  • Interior Accent: Pair with lower or darker green houseplants to create a layered indoor display with contrast in height, texture, and leaf color.
  • Container Planting: Grow in a sturdy, well-drained pot with enough room for root development while keeping the plant balanced as it gains height.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Watering: Water when the upper soil has dried and avoid letting the plant sit in standing water, since overwatering can lead to root problems.
  • Light Care: Rotate the pot occasionally so the plant grows evenly toward the light and maintains a balanced shape.
  • Leaf Care: Wipe leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to remove dust and keep the variegated foliage looking clean.
  • Humidity: Average indoor humidity is usually acceptable, though the plant benefits from slightly higher humidity in very dry rooms.
  • Fertilizing: Feed lightly during the active growing season with a balanced houseplant fertilizer, following label directions.
  • Pruning: Remove yellow or damaged leaves as needed and cut back canes if height control or branching is desired.

Why Choose Rikki Dracaena?

  • Bright Variegation: Displays deep green leaves with a light green to lime-green center stripe for clean year-round indoor color.
  • Upright Shape: Adds height and structure without taking up as much width as many other large houseplants.
  • Easy Indoor Care: Handles typical home and office conditions when watered carefully and kept out of harsh direct sun.
  • Versatile Placement: Works well in living rooms, offices, entries, lobbies, bright corners, and decorative containers.
  • Polished Look: Provides a simple tropical accent that fits both modern interiors and fuller indoor plant collections.

Rikki Dracaena is an excellent choice for anyone who wants a colorful, upright houseplant with strong indoor presence and manageable care needs. Its bright striped foliage, narrow form, and dependable performance make it a reliable plant for adding height, texture, and tropical character to homes, offices, and interior landscapes.

Sweet story with likable characters
Format: Paperback
This book is an easy, engaging read with two characters who feel real and fun to follow. I especially loved the gay characters and their storylines. They are written with warmth and honesty, and their relationship gives the book a lot of heart. The pacing moves well, and the mix of light and emotional moments keeps you pulled in. If you enjoy character driven stories with genuine charm, this is a great pick.

Such a fun book
Format: Hardcover
This was such a cute and quick read. I loved both Arthur and Ben's characters because they were so different, but just so great together. I can really relate to both of them - Arthur's high fast energy and Ben's constant doubt in himself. I especially loved watching how the two of them grew because of the other, without even realizing it. Watching these two find each other and try to navigate the beginning of a relationship was so adorable and pulled my heartstrings. I love that it wasn't perfect or easy for them, which seemed so real. I also like that this book didn't just focus on this one relationship, but also contrasted to other relationships, both romantic and platonic of their friends. It shows that no relationship is predictable, easy or perfect. The writing was wonderful and though Arthur and Ben's narratives were very distinct, I couldn't tell that this was written by two authors instead of one. The story flowed so nicely and had so many ups and downs that I was filled with emotion. Though this was not a "traditional" happy ending, it was still a happy one that had me smile. It was a bit open ended so I am content to imagine my own future for these wonderful characters.

This story brings love and part together and create something out of the ordinary. It shows the love for the world and how the world can bring two people close. I really think it shows that our future will be better. I would definitely read this book if you are into romance and New York City. Maybe this can happen to you!

"I just think you're meant to meet some people. I think the universe nudges them into your path."
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
There is something magical about this time of year. I spent the last couple of days eating way too much food, shopping for gifts, and decorating the house for the holidays. And though this year required us to do things differently than we have in years past, those holiday traditions still bring the same amount of magic that they always have. One of my favorite things to do this time of year is to curl up next to the fire with a good book. The Texas weather finally brought us winter this weekend, so I decided to take full advantage and finish reading What If It's Us. This cute love story was the perfect way to kick off the holiday season. Arthur is soaking up every moment of his summer internship in New York. The soon-to-be high school senior is completely committed to taking in all of the sights and sounds of the city life, even if that means neglecting the duties of his job. Today though, his internship has sent him on a mission that allows him to fulfill both of his desires. Today, he's been tasked with dropping off work documents at the post office. Yes, this is just a simple errand, but the city is ripe with adventure and opportunity. Ben is at the post office for an entirely different reason. He's got a box full of stuff that belongs to his ex-boyfriend. The breakup is still so fresh and difficult that Ben can't bear to even see his ex. Having all of this stuff that reminds him of the relationship isn't helping either. It makes sense to just mail it all back to him and rid himself of that part of his life for good. As you can imagine, fate has other plans. Ben and Arthur meet in line at the post office and have a really cute conversation. The spark between the two is undeniable, but then they are separated. Was this just a chance encounter meant to fill that small moment of time, or is this something more? You'll have to read to find out. I was so drawn into the story and characters that it is almost impossible for me to objectively comment on this book. In What If It's Us co-authors Becky Albertalli (of Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda fame) and Adam Silvera deliver the kind of meet-cute YA romance that you'll have a hard time putting down. I don't normally read this genre, so I was a bit apprehensive at first. As I started reading, I couldn't help but find little pieces of myself in each of the characters. There's something about navigating the final years as a teenager that is universally relatable. Take away the fact that the main characters are gay (this story could have been equally effective with a heterosexual couple), and you are still left with a story that is just too compelling to not read. Is this a great work of literature that will be touted for its prose and structure? Of course not. But there's so much about What If It's Us to like about that you won't mind the little things that would normally detract from a novel. A sequel has recently been announced, and I really can't wait to read more about these characters.

Felt like Harry Potter was shoved into my face way tooo much.
Format: Hardcover
3.5/5 Sigh, I really wanted to love this book but there were just many aspects that I did not like. The story itself is really cute. I honestly was so close to loving this book! The good: I love the representation is this book! Ben is a gay 17 year old Puerto Rican. He does not do school, and he just recently got his heart broken. Arthur is a gay 16-17 year old Jewish teenager who has ADHD and is new to the whole dating thing. The side characters were so lovable, more than one of the protagonist.. I would honestly say that Dylan is one of my top favorite characters! I would honestly love a spin-off about him. I love that they brought up topic that are not usually brought up in LGBT lit. Such as: first time sex, dealing with exes, being nervous to be in a relationship, etc. The overall story was cute and quirky. The bad: I felt like Harry Potter was being shoved down my throat! This is honestly one of the main reasons why I did not like this story that much. I honestly do not care about HP. There was seriously a HP reference in every chapter. It. Was. Overkill. The love story felt really dramatic and desperate, it was stalkerish and even the characters mention it. Like Arthur just met Ben a few seconds ago, Arthur sneaked off on him and he was devastated because he'll "never get to kiss him on his Emma Watson mouth." I totally understand that Arthur has ADHD but his character was somewhat annoying and desperate. He needed for everyone to like him. And the ending.. I did not like the ending at all. I seriously wanted them to make it work but they didn't.. They deserved the world! All in all, I loved the story, I loved the romance, I loved the characters. But the stuff I did not enjoy really impacted how I felt about the story at the end.
