r/Dracaena

Does anyone have advice? I think it’s dying and I need to react quickly.

My plant has slowly turned leaves my leaf brown starting at the tip then browning inwards.

I’m watering regularly when I think top soil is dry. I think it’s getting a decent level of sun a couple feet away from a west facing window.

Any suggestions? I’ve started using water from my dehumidifier instead of tap water. The water here is a bit of hard water. I do give it liquid plant food once a month.

Over the last 6 months I’ve lost soo many leaves, seems to be from the bottom working its way up. Please help!

Hi, I saved this (what I assume to be a Song of India) Dracaena from an old bouquet that I recieved. It's been in water for the last few months (just realised I should fertilise it) but I'm unsure of how to take care of it, also pruning etc.

Any help would be appreciated, I am new to plants so please give me any information that you deem important.

Incase it's important, I live in the south of the Netherlands and it gets plenty of light every day from my West (kinda South West) facing windows.

Hi all! My dracaena tree has been leaning for some time. I tried to tie the trunks back a bit like I read online, but she still seems to be leaning too much and I’m scared she’s in bad health.

Mind you, I did just water her after I accidentally neglected her for a week due to surgery. So that’s why she looks a little limp in the leaves.

She doesn’t get a lot of light during the day, not any direct sunlight, anyway. I’m wondering if I need to repot her to a taller and wider pot or do I try to just recentre her in the same pot she’s in? Or should I move her to an area where there’s more windows but still in a place without indirect sunlight? I hear they don’t like that.

She was $70 and I’d hate to lose her after only three years.

Any and all advice is appreciated!

Just showing off my first kokedama made with a little dracena!
Im super satisfied and I can’t wait to see how it will look like in a few months 🤩

Pic 1 - 1st March, pic 2 - today. I bought a dracaena off Gumtree and I moved into a huge pot of soil with no drainage. After a year of either heavy watering or none at all, it was very stressed and dying a slow death. I’m very proud of the revival I’ve managed to bring it back to life. I transferred to a smaller pot with drainage which now sits in the large decorative pot. I mixed perlite with new soil and I now water once weekly, removing inner pot and then placing outside to allow for full drainage of watering. Since 1st March it has grown 27 NEW LEAVES!!!! Absolutely buzzzing. Still a work in progress but ecstatic to get it producing loads of new leaves and life
