Dracaena fragrans 'Hawaiian Sunshine'
Dracaena fragrans 'Hawaiian Sunshine' is a striped corn plant cultivar with glossy dark green leaves marked by lighter green central striping. The leaves are long, sword-shaped, and carried on upright canes, giving the plant a tall, tidy outline in a narrow footprint.
The lime-green centre runs down the length of each leaf, while the darker outer bands frame the blade. In a larger pot with several canes, the different stem heights create a layered indoor tree shape.
Fresh green striping and upright stems
- Foliage pattern: Glossy green leaves with lighter green striping through the centre.
- Growth form: Upright cane growth with leaves clustered at the growing points.
- Room fit: Adds height in a narrow shape, especially as the canes mature.
- Care needs: Warmth, drainage and measured watering keep the cane and root zone firm.
Layered canes and glossy leaf heads
'Hawaiian Sunshine' follows the Dracaena fragrans pattern of woody stems topped by rosettes of leaves. As the plant matures, the cane becomes more visible below the foliage, especially when older lower leaves are removed. This is part of normal cane development and gradually gives the plant a taller indoor tree shape.
Warm conditions, free drainage and measured moisture keep the cane and root zone firmer. The leaves are firm and waxy enough for average indoor air, but the tips can still react to salt build-up, hard water or extended dryness.
Care for striped Dracaena canes
- Position: Bright filtered light keeps the central striping clean. Keep the leaves out of direct midday sun through glass.
- Moisture check: Let the upper 40–50% of the pot dry before watering. Larger cane plants can stay moist deep in the pot, so check below the surface.
- Root aeration: Choose a well-aerated potting mix that drains evenly. Add mineral components if the mix stays wet for several days.
- Warmth: Keep the plant in stable warmth, preferably above 18 °C. Cold floors and drafty entrances can stress the roots in winter.
- Dry indoor air: Average household humidity is normally fine. Tip burn is more often a watering or water-quality issue than a demand for constant high humidity.
- Feeding: Use a diluted balanced fertiliser during active growth. Skip feeding when the plant is not pushing new leaves.
- Balance: Turn the pot occasionally so the canes stay even and the leaf clusters do not lean strongly toward one side.
- Height control: Remove old leaves when they yellow. Tall canes can be cut back during active growth if a shorter branching point is wanted.
Reading stress signs on 'Hawaiian Sunshine'
- Crisp tips: Check tap water quality, fertiliser build-up, dry periods, and low humidity near radiators. Flush the pot if salts have accumulated.
- Pale dry marks: These often come from direct sun. Move the plant farther from the window or filter the light.
- Flat striping: Very low light can make the whole plant look duller. Increase filtered light gradually.
- Drooping leaves with wet soil: Inspect the roots and cane base. Wet wilt can look like underwatering, but the solution is better drainage and a drier root zone.
- Mealybugs in leaf bases: Look into the striped leaf clusters, especially where leaves overlap tightly.
Leaf safety for floor placement
Pets can become unwell after chewing Dracaena fragrans foliage, so place 'Hawaiian Sunshine' where cats and dogs cannot pull down or nibble the leaves. This matters especially with taller floor plants.
Fragrant species name, bright cultivar name
Dracaena refers to the dragon-tree lineage, with the name rooted in the idea of a female dragon. The epithet fragrans points to the fragrant flowers of mature Dracaena fragrans, although indoor plants are grown mainly for foliage and do not flower reliably. 'Hawaiian Sunshine' has bright green striping that runs through the foliage.
Dracaena fragrans 'Hawaiian Sunshine' has glossy dark green leaves, lime-green central striping and upright canes that form a tiered indoor tree shape.

Who knew? Right?
Format: Kindle
Alexander the Great is one of the most prominent figures in ancient history, known for his military conquests and political prowess. Born in 356 BCE in Pella, the ancient capital of Macedonia, Alexander was the son of King Philip II and Queen Olympia. From an early age, Alexander was groomed for leadership and given a rigorous education in military strategy, politics, and philosophy under the tutelage of Aristotle.
When Alexander was only 20 years old, he succeeded his father as king of Macedonia. Immediately upon taking the throne, he set his sights on expanding his empire. In 334 BCE, Alexander led an army of approximately 35,000 soldiers across the Hellespont, a narrow strait that separates Europe and Asia. This marked the beginning of his campaign to conquer the Persian Empire.
Over the course of the next decade, Alexander achieved a series of stunning victories on the battlefield. He defeated the Persian king Darius III at the Battle of Issus in 333 BCE, and again at the Battle of Gaugamela in 331 BCE. He then continued his conquests into Central Asia and India, where he faced fierce resistance from local armies and encountered new cultures and religions.
Despite facing numerous challenges and setbacks, Alexander was a brilliant military strategist who was able to adapt to changing circumstances and inspire his troops to victory. He was known for leading his soldiers from the front, and he fought alongside them in many battles. His leadership style earned him the loyalty and admiration of his soldiers, who were willing to follow him to the ends of the earth.
In addition to his military conquests, Alexander was also a skilled politician and diplomat. He understood the importance of winning over the hearts and minds of the people he conquered, and he adopted many of the customs and traditions of the cultures he encountered. He also founded several new cities, including Alexandria in Egypt, which became a major center of learning and culture in the ancient world.
Despite his many successes, Alexander's life was cut tragically short. He died in 323 BCE at the age of 32, possibly from malaria or poisoning. His death left a power vacuum in his empire, which led to a period of instability and conflict known as the Wars of the Diadochi.
Today, Alexander is remembered as one of the greatest military commanders in history. His conquests had a profound impact on the ancient world, spreading Greek culture and Hellenistic ideas throughout the Mediterranean and Near East. His legacy also lives on in the many cities he founded, which served as centers of trade, commerce, and learning for centuries to come.
Alexander the Great was a remarkable leader who left an indelible mark on history. He was a brilliant military strategist, a skilled politician, and a charismatic leader who inspired loyalty and devotion from his soldiers. His legacy continues to be felt today, and his story serves as a reminder of the power of human ambition, courage, and determination.

Being “Othered” is Real
Format: Kindle
Sky Full of Elephants opens with a haunting and unforgettable image: all the white people walking silently into bodies of water. That beginning alone tells you this is not a book that will play it safe. It is bold, layered, and deeply intentional.
The writing is beautiful and the story forces readers to confront what Black history truly is: American history. The novel doesn’t just imagine a world; it holds up a mirror to the one we’ve lived in and the one we’re still shaping. It explores identity, belonging, grief, and survival in a way that feels both speculative and painfully real.
As someone who grew up attending predominantly white schools, I connected deeply with Sidney’s experiences. Being “othered” (constantly reminded that you are different, that you don’t quite belong) leaves marks that follow you long after childhood ends. Some of the moments Sidney endures felt painfully familiar, and I found myself reflecting on my own younger self while reading.
What struck me most, though, was reading this story as a mother.
I have a biracial daughter, and her experience has been very different. She has never been made to feel like she doesn’t belong. She has never been othered. She has always been rooted in her Black identity, primarily raised by her Black mother, surrounded by family who affirm her. Even after I remarried and joined a Black family, she was embraced fully, never questioned, never treated as “less than,” never made to feel separate.
Reading Sidney’s journey made me profoundly grateful that my daughter’s story has unfolded differently. It also reminded me how much environment, affirmation, and community matter in shaping a child’s sense of self.
Sky Full of Elephants is more than a speculative novel. It is a meditation on race, memory, and belonging. It asks hard questions about America while honoring the fullness and complexity of Black identity.
This book lingers with you. It sparks reflection. It opens conversations.
And for me, it felt both personal and powerful.

Good Read!
Format: Audiobook
I read this along with my son and his girlfriend in a family “book club”. We had a good discussion about the ending, as we each had differing perspectives, but that was fun! The book was really interesting, and the characters were so well defined and deeply moving. Good read, but the ending left us a little confused.

Thought provoking
Format: Kindle
Sky Full of Elephants is a work of speculative fiction that begins with the premise that the white population of the United States has been wiped out. Starting a year after “the event” and following Charlie, a man who spent 20 years in prison due to a cowardly lie, and his resentful, biracial 19 year old daughter, who witnessed her only known family drown themselves, it is at its core a quest for identity in its many forms and how trauma can co-opt that search. In rating and reviewing this book, I’m aware that my lens as a Gen-X, cis-het, white woman, will have a differing view from others’ lived experiences. In reading other reviews, I definitely saw points that I didn’t consider, which I hope is the main point of the book. I do think, as a work of speculative fiction, that it does require the suspension of disbelief from the get go. It is a philosophical “what if” that Mr. Campbell invites the reader to consider.
Intrigued by the premise, I was drawn into the story due to Mr. Campbell’s lyrical writing style. The narrative had a rhythmical flow to it that supported the world building and characterizations. I found Charlie to be a very sympathetic character, rebuilding a life shattered by lies in a new world and confronted with the daughter he never had a chance to know. Sydney, Charlie’s daughter, was more of a struggle to empathize with. While her feelings were justified and understandable, her growth throughout the novel was erratic. As the story has an ambiguous ending, perhaps her character will continue to improve. For supporting cast, the grumpy pilot Sailor and his nonbinary child, Zu, offer a counterpoint to Charlie and Sidney’s emerging relationship. The king and queen of Alabama and the thriving town of Mobile were well fleshed out. The Walkers and Sidney’s Aunt Agatha in Orange Beach represented those who were lost in their own way, either due to clinging to their former proximity to whiteness or to the religious biases they were raised with. I found the Walkers to be the most tragic of all.
The questions of identity throughout the story are what kept be invested throughout. Are we defined by the color of our skin, our behaviors, the groups we belong to, the choices we make? Are others more valuable or worthy who don’t suffer the same things we do? Does there have to be those that are “lesser” to make us feel whole? As a trauma survivor with C-PTSD, I struggle with my own issues of identity and worthiness, and as a former Special Education teacher, I’ve been witness to that struggle in others. I have never understood or accepted the idea of White Supremacy or Christian Supremacy or any of the myriad ways that humanity continues to other each of us. In reality, there is no “us” or “them” only”we”. Charlie questions who he is as a Black man in the US, a convict, a teacher, a father, and ultimately a fixer and healer. Sidney grapples with her biracial otherness, her wealthy upbringing and sheltered life, the trauma of abandonment, and the lies that her life was built on.
The ethical question of the machine at the epicenter of the event adds another layer to the story. While the effects of the first usage were unintended, once they were known is it right to continue to fix it and use it again? Can healing a part of collectiveness that harms or destroys another part ultimately be worth the cost? The world and its people are broken and desperately need healing. But just like the question of eugenics, what of value is lost when specific traits are universally stripped away? And who gets the to decide what is of value anyway? The ambiguity of the ending doesn’t answer the question entirely of what happens when the machine is repaired, but Charlie’s ability to fix things leads me hopeful. Personally, I cared enough about these characters to be interested in a sequel.
