Thank you so much for posting in English language, you help me alot, thank you for explaining I appreciate it
@@heartynoora2583 it was my pleasure
hi hello this video was so helpful! do you have any watering tips for plants in too-big pots?
Small plants in big pots?
I live in NY so do you prefer for my plant regular tap water or filtered? I just got a dracena with the green cane
I always prefer filtered water but you can try with tap water. If you notice some changes due to tap water, change it to distilled water.
Thank you for all the information and I’m wondering if I have a dracena with only on stem and I decapitate it. Can I leave the stem in the soil? Will it grow again from the stem? And I heard you can root top part in water? Can you please advise me? I’m a new subscriber now thank you
If the roots are healthy leaves will grow. Roots can rot if they are in water. Let the water drain out
🤞🏼
My dragontree has yellow soft leaves in the middle of the small new growth. They were green just 2 days ago. I bought it 3 days ago. I only mildly watered it and threw the access water away. The tips were slightly dry and brown. But now these yellow leaves in the middle are soft and a few fell off....I'm afraid it will die. Do u think i should repot it? The pot she is in looks kinda small and the roots are on the bottom and look very crowded. 🙄 I really wish to have some plants but they just keep dying for different reasons 😫
If roots are crowded you should repot but in slightly bigger pot. Because roots like be slightly tight. Plant moved 3 days ago, thats stress. You should leave it to accommodate few weeks. That you can write to me again
@@EASYPLANTCARE thanks will try that. I sometimes have a feeling the soil that the plants come with is never that good. Rhe soil i bought looks so dark and healthy and moist. But this original soil is just hard and still looks dry even if watered 😬 probably they savr money just to sell plants and then what3happens i guess 😐
Thank you for this video! One question, after I watered my plant, I got a full yellow leaf the next day on the bottom of the plant. Then, as the next 2 days past, I noticed that other 2 leaves were turning yellow at the bottom of the plant and falling off. So I checked the roots (no root rot) and put in a new pot (I haven't given it water yet). And now today, another leaf at the bottom has turned yellow and fallen off. Could this still be shedding? There is new growth at the top. Did I overwater it (I accidentally used filtered water, would that have something to do with it?). Thank you so much if you reply, I appreciate it 🙏
When u water it , pot must have holes at the bottom to drain out.
@@EASYPLANTCARE It does!
Same thing happened to mine.
The only thing different was high humidity due to rainy season. I know now not to water it on a rainy day. I put it outside to get rained on. Maybe it was too much. I don't have central air conditioning system in my home. I realized that my dracaena was probably drowning. 20 leaves dropped off!!! 😬 I found out that an air conditioner reduces the humidity in the air. So I bought it and placed it in that room. The leaves stopped falling off. I took it outside on a hot dry day to help it dry off more. It's been 3 months since I watered it. The soil dried up and just 2 days ago I watered it lightly with filtered water, TDS 90. The air humidity is 70%, room temperature is 75-77°F, with medium light and in its normal spot. My dracaena marginata is happy now.
Btw, I've had this plant for 3.5 yrs. It's never been a problem before this spring. So when the leaves were turning yellow and falling off that shocked me 😲😬!!
I came to this video with the same question. Thank you for asking with great detail. I definitely watered her too much. I’ve noticed this before. She did recover and she’s generally very happy my plant. It seems to be a bit too easy sometimes caring for her (watering so infrequently) and so I proceed to drown her. ( Not on purpose of course).
I recently repotted an extremely rootbound dracaena that probably is around 15 years old or more and the bottom layer of leaves have been falling out, i think i have maybe collected over 25 yellow leaves, im worried the the potting mix i put it in maybe holds too much water. could this be because i over watered it? or just stress from repotting? some leave in the middle of health green leaves have also become yellow. the rest of the plant looks fine though.
Hi, thanks for asking.
How big is your pot? If it is too big, than it may be holding water.
Hi, thank you for your video. I've had my plant for just under a year now and it's still in the pot/soil i bought it in. Ever since I've had it, the leaves have been drooping slowly to the point they are just drooped now. The leaves look healthy and there's no yellowing or really any brown tips. The soil dries out very quickly and when I water it and it drains straight through the soil and out. Is this normal?
Hi, when your plant is thirsty leaves are gonna drop. When u water it, leaves are gonna pop up

Ok I’m sorry I’m in love with this plant let me start with that I really don’t hAve a green thumb my husband pass away 6 month ago he was the one with a green thumb
But this is my 3 purchase of this particular plant 😍 I just transfer her to a bigger pot there was 3 of them now I have 2 leaves are turning yellow and falling off and the green leaves are looking wilted I have not water her since u transfer her because I gave plenty of wAter for the soil to grip on to the plant help she is in a nice spot close window but not direct
Hi, first repotting plant is dangerous because you can damage roots, second, you water it everywhere 7-10 days, check soil dryness. Now just keep your eye on watering it and hopefully it will recover
Thank you so much for your informations! 😻 But I still can’t figure out my problem. I have a dracena marginata starting to lose low leaves. They are apparently healthy, green (actually a lighter green from the day I bought it! Coincidence or clue?) Can you help me understand why is she starting to suffer? I have never overwater, give her water once a month, never direct light. My house is usually not very bright…. Thank you so much!
Are leaves yellow?
@@EASYPLANTCARE No, they are green! Not even brown. What do you suggest? Thank you!
First it can be stress. Cuz you bought it and changed place. It need time to adapt. Second, is it on light direct?
Hi! I got my dracaena shipped from different state. It was in a box in truck for 7 days. I have given it cool indirect bright light space with good moist soil. Its been 3 weeks but still no new growth. All the old leaves are wilted and dried out! 😭
Dont worry if the roots are ok it will regrow but it takes time. Dracaena is slow growth plants. Just let soil dry out first before watering
Hey so I received repotted my plant and now its leaves r falling nd drooping i added water yesterday but idk wat to do, the top stem where the leaves come out of r white/yellow. Please help me i dont want to lose it
Are you seeing any bugs there?
When I bought my dracaena it came with 3 trees grouped together. Now just 2 months later, one tree is dead, and another is slowly dying. Im pretty sure its been overwatered, just not sure if propagating the dying tree will be my best option. The leaves are falling out and becoming brown, and the bark is starting to feel a bit soft. Is this dying tree able to saved, or is propogation my only way of saving it?
Let soil dry out and than slowly start watering it
I have two dracenas a marginata and a fragans, my fragans has no brown tips at all, and I had it longer, while my marginata has dry crispy ends. You think it’s just the type of plant? Or maybe I’m neglecting my marginata
Sometimes it’s normal to have little brown tips but if they are crispy I assume it watering problems. How often do you water?
@@EASYPLANTCARE like maybe once a week, or a week and half. You think that’s too little? I killed a plant by overwatering so I am traumatized aha, but thank you for the information!
@@dulcecarbajal5877 first you need to check soil before watering. Stick your finger in soil, if half of your finger is dry soil then tou can water it. It also depends how bih is pot?
Hi thank you for this video. My husband placed my 2 plants outside and it was cold. The leaves have drooped and are falling at the same time. Some leaves have become spongy for want of a discription. Can they recover and how?
Thanks for your question, is stem spongy?
@@EASYPLANTCARE i have the same problem! The stem is spongy at the stop but stronger toward the root. Can I save it?
@@im2tuff hi, what happened? Did you overwatered?
Hello, there! I got a Darcaene shipped & the shipping got delayed... Now the leaves have dark brown spots and the leaves are turning brown.
Cut those leaves and let it recover
Hey how could I restore the ph balance to my soil for my plant
Hi, thanks for asking, can you tell how you know that your PH is not in balance?
@@EASYPLANTCARE yes well I put coffee in my dirt
Just take out coffee and water your plant. It will solve problem in few days
I have been away & my friend forgot to water my dragon tree. Most leaves were dry & fell off but there are a few left that are drooping🙁Is it possible to bring my tree back to life?
Of course, just water it
@@EASYPLANTCARE fantastic!☺thank you❤
Hello sir my dracaena massangeana has started to have yellow and brown tips.
They are also dry tips and are growing on every leaf now. Is there any way you could help me? Thanks
Hello, how often do you water your plant?
@@EASYPLANTCARE maybe like once every 3 weeks or soo if not less
@@FunnySlips00 well that may be the reason. You need to water it when 1inch od 2cm of top soil is dry. That is about 7-10 days. So first chech soil then water it.
@@EASYPLANTCARE oh okay and how much water should I be using?
@@FunnySlips00 does your pot have hole?
I have yellow leaves from my dracaena tree that was rootbound. I repotted one size larger with sterilized soil about a month ago. The yellow leaves stopped. However, the yellowing has returned. I only use distilled water and haven't moved it from the same spot with east facing indirect bright light. I've checked for pest of which it doesnt have. I fertilize once a month with a heavy diluted fish emulsion. Humidity in the room at 50%. There's no drafts and the soil is evenly moist. There is new growth but the tree is spending 4-5 leaves everyday. I don't know what else to do. Please advise.
Thanks for asking question, please stop fertilizing.
@@EASYPLANTCARE thank you! I will 🙂
@@shesangmelodee you are welcome
Hi my plant is dying I want to save. Can you help me?? My plant leaves suddenly one day came down n this is my second time m not able to keep this plant.
Came down, you mean wilted leaves?
Mine was the same I cut of the brown leaves and repot it with fresh compost add perlite
Nice
my plant is dying, we moved to new house and in one morth+/- it started to get brown , then yellow and now shedet leaves,
receive water every monday, the tip from stam feels soft,when i put my finger in soil, the soil does not stick on finger, it absorb normal the water, receive inmorning and by evening its absorbed, it is in the soil in wich i bought the potted plant, i did not changed it, now and then i put it outside in the rain (2-3 times a year) the leaves looks yellow + brown + green combined
Plants get stressed if they’re moved. They need time to recover and adapt
I changed now soil. Found out that roots are brown.smells rotten. What should i do
@sevrienplysier remove dead roots. Let soil dry.
My plant lost all it's leaves will it grow back or do I need to propagate the plant?
Can you please provide more information about watering, light exposure, are those lost leaves yellow?
@@EASYPLANTCARE My plant is in a 4" pot and gets bright indirect light from a north facing window. I only water when the soil is dry. I had no yellow leaves or brown tips. I just simply over watered and realize when it was too late. Within two days all the leaves fell off. When I do water I would only add 4 ounces of water. I also didn't know not to use tap water and to use distilled water. I truly believe that's one of the problems as well.
@@nightwind-v5q when it comes to overwater, roots star to rot. Is your stem hard when you touch or squeeze it?
@@EASYPLANTCARE No, it's not hard. It's soggy and when I touch it and squeeze it water squirted out. Also the trunk or stem is soft. Now I think it's root rot.
@@nightwind-v5q yes. Long time ago it also happened to me same thing. Root rot.
Hi I have a Dracena at home. The tips are browning. I have followed everything you have mentioned but I don’t find any changes. It’s a big plant and I don’t want it to die ☹️
It takes time. How long are u waiting for changes?
I’m an artist and I use oils and I love having plants in my room and I notice my plants are unhealthy is it due to this
Can you describe how ofter do you water? Light in room? Thanks
My sister gave me her little dracaena fragans that was almost dead since she always kept it in the sun. I watered it and put it in quarantine away from my other plans… I removed all dead leaves! The soil was extremely hard as rock so I couldn’t change it at first… After a couple of waterings I changed the soil (soil mix, perlite and worm castings) and now the plant is getting all leaves yellow with brown tips suddenly! Any advice???
You made a mistake by changing soil. You may have damaged roots while reppoting it. Lets hope it will survive. Keep me informed.
Is the 3 one I buy she keep leaving me
Can you please describe little bit more?
Brown tips of my dracaena marginata worries me too much! It seems like it couldnt be solved! I am so frustrated. I used drinking bottled water to water them and put them in my bedroom. It really bothers me to see brown tips on my dracaena leaves.
Thanks for replying. Are brown tips dry or wet?
EASY PLANT CARE wet. I cut most of the brown tips. But it seems that it would continue browning, if that makes sense
@@MsNovazz if they are wet, most commonly it’s overwatered. Try to water less. Put your finger in soil, if 2cm or 1 inch is dry then water it.
Mine are doing the same
Thing. I think I’m over watering.
I bought this plant a week ago and now it already has yellow leaves! Please help
Hi, did you repot plant?
No 🥲🥲🥲
I think its stress. Because plant moved from one place to another. Give a time to adapt. Please write later about its status
My DM is becoming like straw. Way less green. Am going to stop giving any cool tea and give distilled water. And try more watering.
Thanks for sharing your comment
Using spent coffee grounds does NOT actually increase acidity. It’s about neutral after being brewed and the amount added wouldn’t even make a noticeable difference in soil pH.
