Please help! Plant: striped dracaena ‘cintho’ I’ve had this plant about 3 years and recently moved house. His leaves are very floppy and damaged at the ends and I’m not sure what to do! I’ve got a humidifer for my room (as I have 10 other plants with high demand) which sits on the floor beside where he is located. I’ve misted the leaves and watered him, even giving partial sunlight. Any advice would be greatly appreciated !! Thanks all in advance x

    Soil drying up withe leaves you can water more often if that does not work try keeping the soil most and use filtered water to not have chemicals slowly kill your plant

    What direction do you it in? I found if it’s south facing to pull it away to the side of the window. Also stick to filtered water and I’d stop the fertilizer for a bit. I love fertilizer but it’s in shock. Id pull it out of the pot and smell it to see if the soil smells like rot. Then I’d replace it. I wouldn’t mist it for a bit. Handle the other stuff first and then work on the next things. These plants are sturdy so they will bounce back. But I’d pull it out of direct light.

    I have a 3-year-old striped dracaena also I thought that might be what it was, will you say you have a humidifier, is it keeping it between 40 and 60%? That's typically the problem with these tropical souls 🤔

    Distilled water I found helps a ton. They’re a little dramatic about the chemicals in city water.
