# HELLLLLPPPPPPP!!! I had bought this dragon tree last summer because I…

_Posted by Maddie on 2025-08-31_

HELLLLLPPPPPPP!!! I had bought this dragon tree last summer because I needed something for a darker area of my room. It was thriving (see first pic) I think I might have over watered it, or it had a shock to a darker corner. I then moved and again I think it was taking a while to then adjust to a brighter room (after 6 months in the original place? It then got hit by thrips (RIP😭) and it got put in our balcony (19 floors up) and left for 1.5 months,but I’m determined to bring it back - the roots look like they may have a chance?! With some newer ones ?! Please help me rescue it🥺 Any tips of the process I need to follow, where to start and what to do?!

If the roots are good there's a chance with good lighting and a good water schedule. If you didn't treat for thrips, you need to. Just putting it outdoors won't kill them, especially if its not been freezing there.
