How to care for Dracaena draco dragon tree?

I’ve been gifted a beautiful Dracaena Draco ‘Dragon Tree’. Since moving the plant to our house the leaves have been droopy and yellow/brown spots have developed on some leaves. 

If anyone can provide ANY advice it would be deeply appreciated. 

thank you :smile:

Re: How to care for Dracaena draco dragon tree?

Hi @ellalat 

 

Lets   talk about your  Dracaena draco dragon tree  I will talk about a few things that might be happening to it to cause  brown spots

A am not saying you  are doing these things.

 

Over watering or inconsistant watering can lead to root  rot or drying out,  So  check the soil  moister with your hand. 

Free draining soil is best. Summer a little more  water winter less than summer

 

These  plants like indirect bright light but not full sun or  deep shade. Your plant looks semi shaded so light should be ok.

 

  A balanced  fertilizer with  potassium and magnesium should  help as an option but not too much follow packet  guide lines.

 

So  prune off the effected leaves  and  wipe the other  leaves clean will help  ward of pest.

 

Hope this perks your dragon up.
