The leaves in my indoor dracaena plant are turning yellow. Why?
by

1 Answer

Answer :

Nina, without seeing the plant I can just mention a few things I have found with my own plants here. Most of them do shed off the bottom leaves as they grow however if all of the leaves are turning yellow most likely you are experiencing a watering issue. Most typically yellow indicates too moist for too extented a period of time. Let it dry out almost to the point of drooping each time before watering again. If the tips are brown that indicates to much drying out. Hope you find some answers in this Bonniejo
