Heyy, I got a dracaena that someone gave away. She looked quite unhappy i suppose. Her stems were and still are really thin. She’s doing much better now, growing lots of new leaves but i’m just worried about the thin stem. Should i leave it the way she is? What should i do?

Leave her if you wanna do something, you can continue to fertilize or repot her.

I’ve already repotted her and she seems happy. she’s growing new leaves and all but the stems are still leggy. is that something i should worry about or are the leggy stems fine?

The new growth seems happy.
