Hello, I need help please! I have never had a dracaena before but I was gifted this dragon tree, it didn’t look to be in the best shape it was severely overwatered and I believe it has fungus knats, it was very harshly tied together and was the victim of daily feline harassment. I did some searching on how to prune/propagate it and when making one of the cuttings I noticed this red/orange discolouration within the stem? What is this and is this bad? Also, should I be concerned about the about the white/ashy colour I’m noticing at the base? Any help and information much appreciated!!

    Is the dark part of the trunk squishy in any way? I only ask because I had a dragon tree rot in that exact way and it was not willing to be saved 🥲I believe they a bit more susceptible to rotting within the trunk - how are the leaves looking? Any yellow ones?

      I don’t believe so… It had some leafs browning in places from damage (cat attacks) but I didn’t notice any yellow leafs when I was pruning

    I would check the roots as most illnesses start in the roots. Then act accordingly.
