My Dragon Tree has some very sad leaves lately. At first I thought he was being over-watered so I’ve left a few more days between watering to make sure his soil was drying out. The leaves are droopy no matter the water amount. Any ideas??

I also had a fungus gnat issue which is now clearing up with the non-watering and sticky traps - but he was droopy before this

More light.. but I think it looks normal. Just make sure to rotate it

They can be sensitive to tap water, I started watering mine with distilled or rain water and it seems happier! I also let it dry out completely before watering since they are drought tolerant!:)

I agree about the sensitivity but I use a water conditioner on mine. They also need humidity if you haven’t been misting or using a humidifier.
