# Hi Guys. My draco plant doesn’t seem the happiest. It has developed…

Hi Guys.  
My draco plant doesn’t seem the happiest. It has developed dry, brown areas on some of the leaves. I’m sticking to the watering schedule but it doesn’t seem to be getting better. Any suggestions?

If you’re sticking to the watering schedule it’s possible it’s getting overwatered. I find that this app usually is wanting me to water too often. It is critical that you check your soil first before watering. I use a bamboo skewer and gently stick it to the bottom and if it comes up dry, I water, then check off the app. Also, did you just recently put it outside? if you did and didn’t acclimate it, it’s getting sunburnt. Hope this helps!

Are you misting it or adding humidity?
