Dracaena reflexa var. angustifolia is in the family Asparagaceae. Commonly known as pleomele, it is native to Madagascar and other islands in the Indian Ocean. Pleomele is a woody shrub that can grow over 10 feet tall and is commonly found growing in jungle understories in its native habitat. Outside of its native range, pleomele is found around the world as a very common house plant. Frequently sold as D. marginata, this species has red-edged leaves and a tolerance for indoor cultivation making it an ideal and attractive plant for use inside the home. Pleomele also frequently ranks highly in NASA clean air studies, meaning this species has the ability to filter toxins from the surrounding air.
