Dracaena is one of the most popular exotic plants to the apartment. If you provide her with the right conditions, it will repay with a beautiful appearance and strong growth. Although the rules of cultivation at first glance do not seem difficult, it is easy to make a mistake. As a result, the flower will start to look miserable and lose the leaves. They can also change the color to yellow. We suggest what to do then.
Why does dracaena lose leaves? Pay attention to the position and air
There may be several reasons for this. First of all, it must be remembered that dracaena has high light requirements. He feels good in visible positions, but not directly sunny. Due to the insufficient amount of light, its leaves may begin to fade or not die.
The plant is thermophilic, but does not tolerate excessively dry air. The heating season is a real hard work for her. So do not set the pot close to the radiator. Instead, choose a place near a humidifier. The perfect temperature for this flower is 15 degrees Celsius, and in the summer 20-25 degrees C.
ADVICE! The company of radiators is not good, but the flower also tolerates drafts badly. Chłód, rapid temperature changes, often opened windows and doors will also result in deterioration of its condition.
What to do when Dracaena loses the leaves? Take a bottle and spray the leaves
Nor should you forget about proper irrigation. Water dracana only when the top layer of the soil in the pot clearly dries. It also tolerates spraying very well. If it looks worse than before, it is worth spraying its leaves with water from time to time (e.g. every 10 days). Also take care of the right soil. It should be fertile, humus, light and permeable. A great choice will be a home mixture of compost soil, thick sand and peat. Do you grow potted plants? We invite you to participate in the poll and commenting.
