Draceana - slow death?
Help!
I have a lovely Draceana in a pot on the kitchen windowsill (it's quite a big windowsill) and the plant has three branches of the main stem. It's quite big now - around two feet or so high, but recently the end third or so of each leaf has gone brown, curled up and died. There are a lot of leaves and it now looks very sad indeed. Can I revive it at all? Is it worth cutting the dead ends off or will that make it worse? Hate to lose it so thanks in advance for any help. Andy. |

Draceana - slow death?
Hi,
It would seem abnormal for all of the tips to turn brown. Have you been overwatering it or exposing it to a draught? I always thought that they did not like too much in the way of direct sunshine so a window position may not be ideal for it. Move it away from the window and give it some TLC and see how it gets on. As for cutting the brown bits off, well the brown bits are dead so it will not hurt the plant, but only you can decide from an aesthetic point of view. Adam "Andy" wrote in message m... Help!

It may do it good to go outside now the good weather is here. We have four smaller (8") Draceana grown from seed outside now and they are thriving in the fresh air and sunshine. -- Drakanthus.
