Hmm what kind of medium are you using?  
It could be moisture issue ?

#### Bunbun respondió el 2024-03-29

Im watering the plant every 10 days. But i noticed the soil is moist every time. also i put humidifier beside it.

#### Geogaddi respondió el 2024-03-29

My advice to hold off on the watering and let it dry out between - and maybe look into switching to a well-draining soil 😊

If the stock starts to get soft I would suggest cutting and rerooting from healthy portions of trunk/stem

I have that same plant and I’m having the same problem. What is the name of this plant? Thank you.

#### Geogaddi respondió el 2024-03-30

Looks like a Dracaena fragrans

Thank you!!!

Looks like it is fairly far from a window. Light can be a big help with rot issues!

I keep mine outside. I hope that’s okay. It gets a lot of sunlight in the summer.
