Does anyone know what is wrong with this dracaena song of India? I noticed that multiple leaves started to die and get crispy on the end, and now its leaves are yellowing. The new growth on the top fell off, so it is not growing at all! Anyone have any idea. I also recently repotted it since the old pot was too small and had no drainage holes.

Crispy leaves is usually from lack of humidity. 40-60 percent.

I think your pot is too large. These plants store a lot of moisture in their trunks so it’s important for them to dry completely out between watering. If the pot is too large, it might be staying damp too long. One other thing, as they grow taller, they do tend to shed their lower leaves.

Too big of a pot, and inappropriate (looking) soil. Is that black soil?
