Alright so my daughters cat got up in her windowsill and got boredā¦ twice now. It has had two leaves for the past month up until yesterday. It was doing great before Rosie decided to be a jerk. Luckily the jerk just chewed the leaves off and didnāt eat them. So sheās fine. The dragon treeā¦ not so much. Any way it could pull through? My 8 year old is hopeful, but Iām not so sure. Thoughts? Suggestions? Plant graveyard? š š¤·š¼āāļø
Ahh a lovely beastie. If this happened in the winter, I would say RIP š but since it's springtime, there's lots of hope! I would clean up the ends with a fresh trim so the chewed areas don't start to rot. Don't take off much more because all the green areas will keep making chlorophyll to keep your plant alive. It may take a year or two to get the same amount of leaves, but you should start to see new growth within a month or so since it's the active growing season now. Make sure to gently fertilize your plant and you should have it back to healthy in no time!

It should recover. I recommend a protective dome to deter Rosie. They have plastic bell jars that come in several sizes. š¼
Thatās genius! It might work until it grows out a bit and I finish the macrame hanger for her room! Thanks!
