Everything was going just fine and then they started to look droopy which has progressively gotten worse. I have tried to limit watering thinking i might have overwatered, no help. I have given them light light fertilizer to help stimulate roots but no. I have misted the tops to add moisture and have covered them with plastic bags to retain humidity. If anyone can suggest anything else i would greatly appreciate it. I don't want to have to start over eventhough i have plenty of time before spring...

First of all, you never want to add fertilizer to a dry plant. Secondly, whatever is happening depends on insects, light, heat, and water. Generally if you give too much water to a dracena, it will have yellow leaves and rot, causing it to droop. If you don't give enough to a pothos, its leaves will turn yellow and look wilted. This time of year the plants are coming out of thier dormancy and so they will require more water. Don't start fertilizing until the middle or end of next month. Try looking on garden web sites to find the name of your plant or go to your local library and research the requirements for your particular plant. GL
