I need HELP! :(
Thank you so much for your video! It really helped.
I work in an office, and they bought a Dracaena! They put it near my desk and I felt like I had to step up and take care of this because it is so beautiful. It has been close to a year and for some reason I just came across this video after watching others. Yours helped the most!
I now realize its Flouride toxicity that's making it look this way. Also the soil is starting to grow like white spots on top of it. Kinda like webs. People were saying its mold and i have to repot the plant.
Can i just re-pot the plant, start using Reverse osmosis/Rain water and start like brand new? I really want to keep her alive! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, I tried not to elongate it lol

I'm so glad that I found your video! I recently brought a large draecena Janet plant and I've watered it only once. After two weeks of watering it I noticed 3 bottom leaves were yellow and most of the leaves now had noticable large brown tips, heartbreaking. I've cut off the yellow leaves along with the brown tips. The next few waterings will be done with distilled water, afterwards I'll move over to rain water. I have the plant under a florescent grow light since my room barely gets natural light. Thank you so much for providing talk details, out of 6 other videos yours is the only one that stated facts!

Hello I just found your video, I-m starting to buy some plants I have a dracaeca Lisa, I-ve had it for 11/2 weeks and they develop dark spots. I-m listening to your video know I live in Phoenix Az. we don-t have rain water it doesn-t rain much at all. Is bottle water good for the plant? I took a pic of it and the person at Home Depot said I may need to repot it. I did repot and sprayed it with need spray. Seems like I-m still getting brown spots. Not on top only on the bottom. Do you have any suggestions. Thank you.

I can't tell you how many videos I've watched regarding my dracaena fragrans, it has these big beautiful leaves and they are exactly as you described, brown and yellow tips and edges. All this false/misleading info I've received led me to believe I had leaf spot disease but in actual fact its just the water. Thank you so so much honestly! I will for sure be using a ZeroWater filter just for this plant. :)

Thank you for sharing the information about the watering I've never had this kind of plant ever before in my life and that's the information about the watering cuz I believe I overwatered it and starting to die so now it's too dry so I'm cutting off the Dead leaves and watering it not as much as I have been I will continue to touch base with this video as I go and as it grows thank you so much

I have had trouble with my house plants getting burned by the chemicals in our tap water. I have found that is I use the water that our dehumidifier produces they seem to do just fine. I just have a gallon plastic jug that I refill with the water from the dehumidifier so I always have -safe- water to water my plants with.

What a fantastic video. Great information. I-m a keen gardener and I-d never heard of Fluoride toxicity before today. My Draceana has been lacklustre for several years and the symptoms are exactly as you explained. Thank you so much. I-ll try another water source. Happy Gardening.

Our Dracaena has grown so big that I was investigating how to cut (that is what brought me here. I use tap water and instead of watering I water from the bowl below the planter. It drinks the water up quite quickly. I do water weekly and fertilize perhaps once a month (lightly.

if you want a tip on safe fertilizer I found a great video that taught me all about worm castings. If you use those as a top filler once a month it will do wonders for salt senstive plants. I do this with my peace lily, marantas, and mccolley's finale and so to be dracena as well.

Great informative video! You really know your stuff: ) would using distilled water bought at a grocery store avoid the fluoride issue? Also, what type of medium should they be planted in? Would a standard peat moss potting mix work? Thanks!

I have a Dracaena for 40 years in the same pot and the same soil By now it has 4 major trunks and it grows about 2 feet every year. Anyway, for the first time it is blooming. I have never seen that before! Is that normal?

I bought a dracaena 5 years ago and now it is about 4 feet tall, but very top heavy. The new leaves at the top are double the length of the ones at the bottom and its starting to lean. Would giving in a trim fix this?

I have my Dracaena near the window, and she likes to be watered almost every 6 days. I think i'm going to move her a few feet away. However I live in Arizona and it's March right now so it's pretty dry here.

I've had my corn plants for 10 yrs and I water mine with water from the tap that I let set out and they are perfect so maybe you need to stop saying that because it's not true I have big beautiful corn plants!

Checking your tap levels is good to know though. My dracaena has been fine & growing big and strong with tap water. It's also not that easy to get rain water in California always being in a drought: /
