It is normal for them to lose their leaves. You may want to give it more/less light, the color change of the leaves seems pretty dramatic.

Agreed. 🧐

More light…less water!!  
Leaf loss is the natural process of the plants growth. However, the leaves should be dropping from the bottom not the top. Sending you good plant vibes…. You’ve got this🫶🏾🌱

I hard a hard time with my dragon tree. Unfortunately it did not survive. I think less water and more “indirect” light was the solution and I didn’t implement the right solution soon enough.

I had to scoot mine around for months until it found a spot it liked. Ended up 7 feet from a west facing window and thrived! She’s under grow lights now…
