The leaves of my Draconia indoor plant have gone brown at the tips. Is it dead or will they go green again?

Answer 1

Do you mean Dracaena? Long reddish leaves coming out from a crown the top of the truck?
These are a tropical plant and their native growing conditions include very high humidity.
Brown tips are typical in dry air as the water absorbed by the plant through the roots just never makes it to the tips if the leaves.

Increasing the humidity around the plant will help. You can accomplish this by creating a pebble tray to set the pot on. The pebbles keep the pot and roots out of the water that you have sitting in the pebble tray and that, as it evaporates, increases the humidity. Misting is also a good idea and prevents spider mites.

Go ahead and trim the tips to make it look better - will not harm the plant.

Answer 2

Hiya, you have over watered your plant, let it dry out and regulary mist the foliage with water, that should do the trick. Although the dead part of the leaves will not turn green again! You can snip them off with a pair of scissors into a pointed shape so it doesnt look so unsightly!

Answer 3

You're not overwatering it are you? Needs good drainage, and only water occasionally, when soil moisture is low.
Overwatering will lead to yellow and brown tips.

don't overdo the fertilizer either.

But, usually it's hard to kill a draconia. New shoots will grow, and the old ones fall.

Answer 4

If the plant does not get enough nitrogen the leaves start to die, starting at the tips. Some water soluble fertilizer should do the trick. Do not use too much.

Answer 5

brown leaf education on indoor vegetation have a pair of reasons... one is loss of humidity.... like another poster mentioned, if it rather is close to a vent, that circulation of air willdry out the education in a rush... the different worst reason is the water... or extremely the chlorine and floride in the water... or worse yet, the softened water of a few properties..... initiate utilising rainwater or spring water to water your vegetation and spot the version whilst new sprouts look....

Answer 6

If its only the tips you can trim them off, it wont damage your plant, they will not return to green, your plant is probably in a too dry atmosphere, try misting it regularly.

Go and purchase Fungacide 3 by Garden Safe. It really works wonders...within days of usage.

New leaves just appear instead.

Answer 9
